Charlotte Rhead was a prominent British ceramic designer associated with several potteries, including Bursley Ware, known for her distinctive tube-lined pottery styles popular during the Art Deco period.

Bursley Ware pieces are typically crafted from earthenware and decorated using the tube-lining technique, where liquid clay is applied to outline patterns before hand-painting with vibrant glazes.

Authentic pieces usually feature manufacturer backstamps, pattern names, and often the designers signature or facsimile signature, alongside characteristic tube-lined relief decoration.

Such a statement ceramic piece works well as a focal point on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or open shelving unit, pairing effectively with neutral or complementary coloured surroundings.

Keep antique earthenware out of direct sunlight, avoid using water inside porous historical vessels, and dust gently with a soft, dry cloth to protect the glaze and body.
