About Margarete 'Grete' Marks (1899-1990)

Grete Marks was born in Cologne, Germany; she studied at the Bauhaus School of Arts in 1920. Her early career saw her see great success in the ceramic industry with her own ceramic works committed to progressive design. However she was forced to flee Germany as the National Socialists forcibly purchased the business in 1934 in the growing tide of anti-semitism. Grete came to England with the help of Ambrose Heal, whose department store had regularly stocked Grete’s products and once here she continued to work in ceramics at Mintons and in Stoke.
