Ray Cook was a Melbourne-based accountant who established the Ray Cook Pottery in 1948 and Raynham Ceramic Pty Ltd in 1950, on sites in East Bentleigh, Victoria.
The Ray Cook Pottery made a range of slipcast tableware and vases, and some larger wheel-thrown items, under the insignia 'Ray Cook'.
Raynham specialised in slipcast vases using a variety of different labels over time that are well-documented in the Encyclopaedia of Australian Potters' Marks.
