Allan James George Lowe (1907-2001) was born in Collingwood, Melbourne, Victoria in 1907. He trained as a painter before setting up a pottery studio and then moving to Hoffman’s Brickworks in Brunswick in 1930. He taught himself pottery and studied glazes, eventually relocating to Ferntree Gully in 1944, where he started his full-time pottery career. Influenced by Chinese pottery and what he saw at the National Gallery of Victoria K.W. Kent Collection, he began creating simple earthenware forms using sophisticated earthy toned glazes and minimal decorations. The National Gallery of Victoria held a retrospective of his work in 1979, the year he retired.
