Charlotte Rhead (1885-1947)
Charlotte Rhead joined Burgess and Leigh in 1926, where her earlier Art Nouveau patterns gave way to stylised fruit, flowers and landscapes in the Art Deco mode. She had been trained by her father, Frederick Rhead in the art of tube-lining, in which the pattern is outlined by a thin trail of slip before firing, giving the piece a depth and richness impossible to achieve in any other way. In 1932 she joined A.G Richardson where she designed vases, plaques, tableware, incised ware and nursery pottery.
