Linn Ware and 20th Century Ceramics
About the Session"The works of Linn Ware (founded in 1943), and those of its predecessor at the Olifantsfontein site, Ceramic Studio (founded in 1925), bear testimony to the creative vision of a group of women whose original vision set the standard for domestic and decorative pottery in South Africa in the mid-twentieth century. Linn Ware is renowned for the consistent quality of its ceramics, and is almost synonymous with deep, rich and sumptuous green and turquoise glazed wares. These potteries, along with Globe (founded in Pretoria c.1920), paved the way for subsequent potteries in the quest to articulate a contemporary South African pottery canon."
