Agnete Hoy (2 November 1914 - 1 April 2000), also known as Anita Hoy, is an English artist potter who managed successfully to create a bridge between industrial ceramics and work of the studio potters. Having studied in Copenhagen she went on to work for the Holbæk and Saxbo potteries in the late-1930s before returning to England. Agnete’s Danish experience helped her creativity within the English ceramic industry during the war years and following period.
Her technical expertise related to glazes and firing was gained on the factory floor and used to produce her distinctive designs for production at both Buller’s in Stoke-on-Trent and Royal Doulton Lambeth Wares.
