Footnotes
- Maud O'Reilly (1886 - 1971) was a student of the L. J. Harvey School.
Her pottery reflects her keen interest in form and proportion and the subtleties that can be realized with fine glazing techniques.
Whilst in Britain with her husband in the mid 1920s, a number of her works were exhibited in a number of exhibitions including that at The Royal Academy, 1926, where she exhibited a figure of a kookaburra No. 1445.
