    HISTORY:
    Susan Vera Cooper
    , known as
    Susie Cooper
    (29 October 1902 – 28 July 1995) was a prolific English ceramic designer designer working in the Stoke-on-Trenty pottery industries from the 1920s to the 1980s.
    Born in Burslem, Staffordshire, she was the youngest of seven children. From an early age she developed an interest in drawing, and began her art education by attending night classes at the Burslem School of Art. In 1922 she joined the ceramics firm A. E. Gray & Co. Ltd,[2] partially as a means to gain entry to the Royal College of Art. A. Edward Gray quickly discovered her talents as a painter and designer, and soon she was producing her hand-painted floral designs. In 1923 A. E. Gray launched the Gloria Lustre Range employing the technique of lustreware. In 1929, motivated by her desire to design ceramic shapes in addition to decors, she broke away with her brother-in-law Albert “Jack” Beeson to set up her own business, as Susie Cooper Potteries. She worked for many other pottery firms over the next several decades, including Wedgwood. In 1940 she was awarded Royal Designer for Industry by the Royal Society of Arts,[2] and in 1979 she received an OBE. By all accounts Elizabeth, The Queen Mother was an admirer of her work.[citation needed] At the age of 80 she retired to live on the Isle of Man, and died there in 1995. Like the Potteries-based ceramic designers Clarice Cliff and Charlotte Rhead, her work has become highly sought after and valued by some pottery collectors.
