Susan Parkinson Black Cat

An elongated sculpture of a seated cat, designed and made by Susan Parkinson at her pottery in Brabourne Lees, Kent, circa 1955.

The sleek ornament is slip-cast porcelain. On top of the white ceramic, Susan has rendered the unique features of the cat in black glaze, by method of wax resist and sgraffito. The fluidity yet precision of her lines result in a brilliantly characterful depiction of this animal. A wonderful example of Modernist British studio pottery.
