This is an exciting Susie Cooper, 15 piece set of the striking modernist china by one of Britain’s most reknown ceramicists and dinnerware designers. Green & Black Coffee set with Kestrel pot, sugar, creamer, six cups and six saucers. Excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. Very little crazing and nothing that takes away from the pattern or look. Created in 1933 the graduated black bands on cream background comes alive with bright green detail. In an era of otherwise flowery and whimsical pattern names and embellishment this truly stands out as bold and forward thinking. This pattern is predominately featured in the most important books on Susie Copper and 20th Century Ceramic designers. With the important Kestrel coffee pot!

Today, one usually finds a single cup, a jug or plate at auction. but here is a stunning set of matcing pieces!

Along with Clarice Cliff and Charlotte Rhead, Susie Cooper is famous for introducing vivid colors and avant garde designs to English Pottery and this is one of the finest and most collectable. Her career, highly documented in many books on Art Deco and Ceramics spanned more than 60 years, including her “Deco Era “ work at Crown Pottery in Burslem in the 30s through the 60s and 70s as a master designer at Wedgwood China.
