VTG Prue Cooper "People Must Have Pudding" Emily Dickinson Slipware Dish Platter

Measures approximately 10" x 12", Medium Oval ---------- From the artist's website: "'People Must Have Puddings' Source: Quotation from a letter by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) to her brother Medium oval 10 x 12 ins (25 x 30 cm) Price: £ 190.- (US$ 255)" "My dishes are meant to be used and enjoyed; slip decorated press-moulded earthenware is an approachable and friendly medium. The designs reflect my view of life, celebrating friendship and the sharing of simple pleasures. Some dishes have inscriptions, which are not separate from the designs but integral to the whole both in form and meaning. The overall design echoes the sense of the words (as a tune echoes the sense of the lyric). The lettering is done freehand, fairly fast." ---------- This particular piece is from Prue Cooper's "Food & Life" series. The bottom is unglazed and stamped "PC". The sides are brown with cream colored dots. The overall piece is orange and features a yellow illustration of a man and a woman on opposite sides of a dessert table. The Emily Dickeison quote is written in yellow as well. Please view photos carefully for condition. But: It. Is. Fabulous.
