Susan Parkinson White Cat

An elongated, gloss-glaze porcelain sculpture of a seated cat, designed and made by  Susan Parkinson at her Kentish pottery in Brabourne Lees, circa 1955.

This sleek ornament is slip-cast in fine white porcelain, and Parkinson has rendered the cat’s distinctive features using the techniques of wax resist and sgraffito. The result is a design of remarkable fluidity and precision, capturing the cat’s character with playful elegance and Modernist sophistication.

A superb example of postwar British studio pottery, this piece embodies the refined aesthetics and inventive spirit that in our opinion positions  Susan Parkinson as one of the most distinctive ceramicists of her era.
