Tall slab-built vessel, rising from a flat base to a wider opening at the top, both near-triangular in shape. Two sides are each built from a single piece of clay, the third formed from several pieces in a mix of angular and curving shapes. The surface is coated and painted with slips, with gestural marks and dots in white and brown over varied buffs. The decoration, mostly applied prior to fabrication, displays the physical marks of application. The underside is flat and unglazed. 108 reference exhibition-1881 adlib-exhibition-1881 041780ec-cb10-38cf-b3c7-0790d1c36e8e Lucie Rie, Hans Coper and Their Pupils reference exhibition-1918 adlib-exhibition-1918 35d13268-2fe6-3d1c-b58a-9b5fde2e9b9c Chelsea Craft Fair 1986 C.13-2017 1 accession number C.13-2017 221633 priref 221633 2017 2017 2017-04-20 The Fitzwilliam Museum Entry Form Number 1331 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/221633 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/221633 handwritten signature underside of base incised Alison Britton / '86 mark reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Given by Ed Wolf reference agent-197953 adlib-agent-197953 6674ca0d-e3bc-346e-8a88-660508fb5e39 Wolf, Ed 2017 2017 2017-07-17 given 1986 CE 1986 dated 1986 maker reference agent-173339 adlib-agent-173339 ba825901-3298-3c1b-8f1f-ae23881686ff Britton, Alison Alison Britton (b.1948) is a leading British potter with an international reputation. She trained at the Central School of Art & Design and the Royal College of Art, where one of her tutors was Hans Coper. She has taught at the RCA for many years and is also well known as a curator, writer and lecturer. In the early 1970s, Britton played a significant part in the shift away from thrown, functional , studio ceramics towards more colourful, expressive, hand-built wares. In 1990 she was awarded an OBE in recognition of her services to the applied arts. Britton’s abstract, gestural mark making and painterly application of slips blurs the line between art and craft. In her own words: ‘ the improvised relationship between the painted surface and the irregular form is what continues to engage me”. reference term-109890 adlib-term-109890
