Rye Pottery

The Rye Pastry Cook, aka Mrs Beeton

This is a particular favourite for one of us.

The folds in the strong sculptural shape of her dress and cooking apron are beautifully emphasised by the hand-painted soft Delphinium Blue which is over-layed with a technically challenging Cobalt Stripe.

This is a clean crisp piece showing off enticing goodies in her mixing bowl and the worktop behind her, combining to provide just the right splash of additional colour.

Like all the best food, the Rye Pastry Cook is enticing yet comforting at the same time.

She is a favourite with Downton Abbey and Mrs Beeton fans alike, a charming gift for any cook.

Originally modelled by Neal French, she pairs well with The Rye Chef who you can see if you click here.
