Both sculptural and practical, the form is particularly evocative of 1950s design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painted decoration, like the form itself, beautifully captures the spirit of post-war British design, shaped by the optimism and visual language of the 1951 Festival of Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the surface, finely painted lines are interspersed with spontaneous dots, splashes and marks, creating a lively and entirely abstract composition. The freedom of Parkinson's brushwork provides a graphic and playful companion to the subtle form of the dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterestingly, this example was retailed in the American market by Saks Fifth Avenue, whose faded stamp remains visible on the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkinson Pottery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62521350029699,"sku":null,"price":210.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/9331\/1702\/files\/susan-parkinson-pottery-biomorphic-triangular-dish-1950s-british-modernist-ceramics.jpg?v=1788878444","url":"https:\/\/www.artandutility.co.uk\/products\/susan-parkinson-abstract-pin-dish-copy","provider":"Art \u0026 Utility","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
