Day 27: Alice Mylie Peppin Vase

Photo Caption: Day 27: Today’s piece is by Iconic Tasmanian potter Alice Mylie Peppin (known as Mylie Peppin). Mylie became interested in pottery after visiting an exhibition held by Maude Poynter and her cousin Violet Mace. Soon after Maude became Mylie’s teacher. This chance meeting became a life long obsession for Mylie which resulted in a career spanning 7 decades from the 1930s to the 1990s. Mylie taught pottery just about everywhere to just about everyone including the Lachlan Park Hospital which will get it’s own mention somewhere along the line. This piece is dated 1959 and if you have been in an opshop in southern Tasmania you would have seen something very similar in this same glaze combo sitting on the shelves. This style of decoration must have been one of Mylie’s standard lessons. After seeing so many pots like this with random names and initials on the base it was an absolute shock to pick this one up on Monday with Mylie’s distinctive AMP initials on the base.
