Mary Rich Round Trinket Box Inscribed Decoration
MARY RICH
Truro, Cornwall
Studio Pottery
Round Lidded Trinket Box
Beautifully decorated with inscribed Persian patterns
Stands 2" (50 mm) tall
4" (100 mm) diameter
An early piece by Mary Rich
No sign of any chips, cracks or restoration
Born in Helston.
Trained at Bournemouth College of Art.
Worked with Harry and May Davis at the Crowan Pottery in the early 1960s, and later with David Leach in Bovey Tracey, Devon.
Started my own studio in Falmouth.
Opened pottery in Old Kea, near Truro, where I continue to work.
Having studied painting and ceramics at Bournemouth College of Art, taught by David Ballantyne, and then worked with Harry and May Davis at the Crowan Pottery, and David Leach in Bovey Tracey, I started my first workshop in Falmouth in 1962 making salt glaze domestic pots.
The move to Cowlands Creek in 1970 involved building a new salt glaze kiln in a new studio, but by the early 1980s new technology in refractory materials made kilns far more efficient in their use of fuel which already was becoming more expensive, so the salt glaze changed to making only porcelain-fired in these new kilns, which continues to this day.
I have always been influenced by Islamic and Far Eastern ceramics which first introduced me to working with gold and lustres.
Mary is a Fellow of the Craft Potters Association, a Member of the Devon Guild of Craftsmen, and a Member of Cornwall Crafts Association.
