Notes

The Ceramic Studio, renamed Linn Ware in 1940 was founded by Sir Thomas Cullinan at Olifantsfontein, a farm outside Johannesburg that had rich deposits of clay and lime. It was staffed mostly by women students from the Durban School of Art, who lived and worked on the farm.

Each piece was handmade and individually double-glazed, giving the work its distinctive and characteristic luminosity for which they became renowned.

The Studio closed around 1955 but left behind a body of beautiful work produced over a period of 20 years.
