About MeSusie Cooper started work as a paintress at the Stoke-on-Trent company of A.E. Gray & Co. in 1922. Although Grays produced stylish modern designs, she was not content to remain with the firm as she wanted to have full control of the design process – both shape and surface pattern. She left in 1929 to establish the Susie Cooper Pottery – at that time a bold move for a woman. This popular pattern, Graduated Black Bands, was produced from around 1933 to 1940 and is seen here on her Kestrel shape.More About Me
The common Susie Cooper mark found on earthenware is the famous "leaping deer" painted in brown, green, pink, blue or black. The words "A Susie Cooper Production" and "Crown Works, Burslem" are usually present.
