A small stoneware pot by British ceramicist Mary Rogers, finished in a pale grey glaze and decorated with applied reptile motifs. The piece is incised with her MER mark to the base and reflects her distinctive hand-built approach.
Mary Rogers (1929–2021) was a leading figure among the stoneware and porcelain hand-builders of the 1960s and 1970s. Born in Derbyshire, she trained at Watford Art School and St Martin’s before studying ceramics at Loughborough, where she established her first studio. Her coiled and pinched forms, often evoking organic structures found in nature, provided a luminous and sculptural alternative to the robust stoneware tablewares of the period. Rogers later relocated her studio to Cornwall and retired from making in 1991.
