Sugar bowl and side plate, Alice Gostick, 1919
Collected in 2021
These items are beautiful examples of Castleford peasant pottery. This style of decoration was popular locally in the early 20th century. The pots were colourful and affordable.
Alice Gostick hand painted the colourful leaf and branch design on these objects.
She also added versions of her unique maker's mark to the bases.
