Enid Seeney was a British designer renowned for her innovative work in ceramics and household products. She began her career as the first female designer at Spode, which makes tableware, in the 1950s. In 1957, she designed the iconic "Homemaker" pattern for Ridgway Potteries, featuring stylized black illustrations of modern furniture and household items. Manufactured in Staffordshire, England, this pattern became a popular mid-century design, reflecting the era's embrace of modernism in everyday life.
