Tessa Fuchs

Finely potted pair of bowls by Tessa Fuchs (1936 - 2012), sister of Annette Fuchs.

Dark reddish brown clay, with dark blue glaze.
Stamped TF on base.
17cm dia. 7cm high.

Such a different style to her sister's work

You said on Annette's thread that they both worked at Briglin for a time. Is that right? Tessa uses a very similar clay to Briglin.

So I understand

In that case, I wonder if this is by Tessa Fuchs?

My only piece by Tessa Fuchs

TESSA FUCHS - Large Landscape Bowl - 29 cm

I think this was in one of the spring auctions, then came to me through ebay. She did a lot of animals and bird bowls as well as landscapes. Strangely it looks better in the pictures than in real life. I was slightly disappointed when I unpacked it as the blemishes and imperfections in the glaze are more noticeable. There are lumps and splodges all over so don't expect them to be perfect. Still the overall effect is very bright and happy and fun - more like a cartoon.

I like it anyway!

Was tempted to have a bid on this and 1 other similar that was on around the same time.

Hi

I like this bowl a lot. Very dark earthenware with a fantastic glaze. Approximately 16.5 cm across the top, 8.5 cm high resting on a narrow rimmed base about 4.5 cm across. Raised two letters on base looks to be L F??

Sorry had a quick look and can't find this one - this is an old record photo when i bought it but I don't have a base mark but also TF
