Hans Coper was one of the most celebrated ceramicists working in Britain in the 20th century. He revolutionised studio pottery through his inventive use of form. This vessel was included in an exhibition held in 1969 at the V & A, where Coper's work was shown alongside that of the weaver, Peter Collingwood. Coper made all the pots for the exhibition at his new studio in Frome, Somerset, during the 12 months before the show opened in January 1969.
