Text from object entry in A. Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Carol McNicoll studied Fine Art at Leeds Polytechnic and Ceramics at the Royal College of Art, London. She established her studio in London in 1973 and although best known for her bold, slip-cast ceramics, she has also worked as a teacher and as a seamstress for Zandra Rhodes (b.1940). She created costumes for the first line-up of Roxy Music and was the design supervisor for the album Here Come the Warm Jets by Brian Eno (b.1948). She has designed ceramic giftware collections for Hawk Pottery, Warehouse Designs, Japan, Next Interiors and a range of glass for Victoria Glass in London. Her original ceramics draw on a wide range of histories, rooted in domestic vessel traditions, inspired by a determination to make the everyday extraordinary. She was part of a vanguard of new thinking that helped to transform studio work in the 1970s and she has exhibited, and is collected, internationally. A monograph on her work, in which this piece is illustrated, was published to accompany a retrospective exhibition at Leicester City Art Galleries in 2003. Carol McNicoll: ‘In the age of IT, making things by hand is a supremely anachronistic occupation. The First World has relegated the unglamorous and unprofitable activity of production to the Third World, reserving the cleaner and more lucrative manipulation of information for itself. The capacity for making things has always seemed to me to be a defining human characteristic. The home, a context that the cutting-edge art world abandoned sometime around 1945, is the context I find most intriguing. Banana Dish is a fruit dish that I thought would be perfect for bananas. When I realized that fruit keeps better if air is allowed to surround it I was given the freedom to make fruit bowls that are still practical.’ A life history interview with Carol McNicoll is available at http://sounds.bl.uk/Oral-history/Crafts reference term-109890 adlib-term-109890 825251c2-9904-34be-b6ab-c855347f2247 20th Century, Late reference term-107700 adlib-term-107700 8f5360fb-b262-3ae9-8942-b81cc0e3e848 Elizabeth II reference term-106216 adlib-term-106216 825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0 literal England England country London reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 23.4 Width cm 32.5 reference media-196741 adlib-media-196741 a0afe25a-4a16-302c-82ef-c88390580892 jpeg aa/aa33/large_C_18_1999_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 768 width pixels 1024 1616269664011 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/mid_C_18_1999_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 500 1616269664011 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/C_18_1999_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 769 width pixels 1025 1616269664011 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/preview_C_18_1999_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 188 width pixels 250 1616269664011 1 image 0 media image reference media-196862 adlib-media-196862 e0bf592f-681a-3014-ba56-809cc76cd49c jpeg aa/aa34/large_C_18_1999_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 768 width pixels 1024 1616282049873 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/mid_C_18_1999_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 500 1616282049873 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/C_18_1999_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 769 width pixels 1025 1616282049873 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/preview_C_18_1999_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 188 width pixels 250 1616282049873 1 image 1 media image reference media-196863 adlib-media-196863 6c3b4c2d-7487-33ea-a953-00177a491ec7 jpeg aa/aa34/large_C_18_1999_3_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 768 width pixels 1024 1616259275723 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/mid_C_18_1999_3_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 500 1616259275723 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/C_18_1999_3_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 769 width pixels 1025 1616259275723 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/preview_C_18_1999_3_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 188 width pixels 250 1616259275723 1 image 2 media image reference media-196864 adlib-media-196864 49d93018-de08-3e64-8158-306336e74f93 jpeg aa/aa34/large_C_18_1999_4_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 768 width pixels 1024 1616252552930 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/mid_C_18_1999_4_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 500 1616252552930 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/C_18_1999_4_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 769 width pixels 1025 1616252552930 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/preview_C_18_1999_4_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 188 width pixels 250 1616252552930 1 image 3 media image reference term-90855 adlib-term-90855 b48207ec-774d-3e3e-8ab3-536996bc5dac dish history note Purchased by the donors at the Craft Shop of the Victoria and Albert Museum reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Publ. p. 139, text, p. 138, no. 4530 'Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, Sir Nicholas and Lady Goodison Gift'. pp. 138-9 reference publication-2061 adlib-publication-2061 476d12da-cf98-34cd-adba-37133b8a921b National Art Collections Fund Review 1999 Ref.
