Women and Ceramics – Figures

In general the figurine was a much despised form within the studio pottery movement because of its associations with over-refined and aristocratic taste or mass production

During the 1920s there was a brief moment when figurative ceramics were popular but it was not until the mid 1980s that there was a significant return to figuration. Women have been particularly successful in this genre.
