Charlotte trained at Fenton School of Art and from 1901 worked at a succession of potteries as a decorator. From 1912-1926 she worked for her father, Frederick, who was art director at Wood & Sons, and at their subsidiaries Bursley Ltd and the Ellgreave Pottery Co; some of this work appeared under her own back-stamp as ‘Lottie Rhead ware’. By 1926, she had joined Burgess & Leigh, and from 1932-c.1942 designed art-ware and other products for A.G.Richardson & Co. In 1942 she returned to a Wood & Sons subsidiary, H.J.Wood, remaining there until her death. Although best known for her popular tube-lined designs, Charlotte Read also introduced new shapes and innovative glazes, including ‘broken’ (mottled) glazes and a thick matt white ‘snow glaze’ which attracted interest in the trade press. Established as Hulme and Booth in 1851, Burgess & Leigh produced blue and white domestic and ornamental wares for the home and export market. A design Studio was introduced on moving to the Middleton Pottery, in 1889, and in the 1920s/30s the company became known for hand-painted art deco ware. In 1926, Burgess & Leigh announced in Pottery Gazette the recruitment of ‘the accomplished lady artist Charlotte Rhead who has produced for us a number of original decorations, all pure Handcraft , combining grace and dignity’. ‘Florentine’ was one of her last designs for the business, which by then employed 500 people. ‘Florentine’, pattern number 4752, was advertised as a new pattern, ‘Burleigh Florentine ware’ available in an extensive range of vases and bowls’, in 1932. The design would have been produced on tracing paper and ‘pounced’ onto the pot to guide the tube-liner. reference term-120066 adlib-term-120066 7d68b404-6003-3715-bdce-af5ba4e8f5a3 20th Century, second quarter reference term-107749 adlib-term-107749 e089b122-3c61-3b88-a645-624a4a54e267 1930s reference term-107684 adlib-term-107684 d54f530a-3bb0-3a32-a207-4cf77fb9ccf8 George V reference term-108171 adlib-term-108171 c943fe08-bd72-32ab-823c-e1eeb56717b3 literal England England country Burslem reference term-32652 adlib-term-32652 82d8ae3b-f165-395c-ba93-dfa1c282b7be glaze reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Diameter cm 25.3 Height cm 8.3 reference media-15205 adlib-media-15205 57465f31-ea73-3bdb-94bd-c7189872e173 jpeg aa/aa6/C_15_1998_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616255148022 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_15_1998_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1616255148022 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_15_1998_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616255148022 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_15_1998_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1616255148022 1 image 0 media image reference media-15206 adlib-media-15206 c72d3c60-0691-3deb-9fa4-c6cbe598b7d7 jpeg aa/aa6/C_15_1998_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616277118141 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_15_1998_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1616277118141 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_15_1998_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616277118141 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_15_1998_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1616277118141 1 image 1 media image reference term-107667 adlib-term-107667 1b81c806-cfb7-3291-9803-525db5f75e09 bowl history note Cheffins, Grain & Comins, Cambridge, 13th May 1998, Ceramics, Silver & Jewellery, lot 72 1 reference object-28616 adlib-object-28616 5aaffdbc-b2cd-323b-b88b-5f4c478a4b84
