She attended at the Royal College of Art studying for two years under the tutelage of William Staite Murray. Ms Mommens then initially set up a pottery in Kent and then at Chiswick in London. As time passed she spent time at Winchcombe and Wenford Bridge working with Michael Cardew. By the 1950’s she was potting in Sussex eventually by the 1970’s with Chris Lewis. Ms Mommens continued producing pottery throughout her life well into her late 90’s. She passed away in 2010 aged 101 years. The bowl is ash glazed stoneware. It bears the clear impressed mark for Ursula in the centre of the footring. The decoration is a wax resist abstract decoration around the circumference of the bowl and the well on a blue / grey wash (ground). This bowl measures 14 cm in diameter and stands 6 cm high. It is in good condition without any chips, cracks or repairs. There are some small glaze misses just above the base ring where Ms Mommens held the bowl by the foot-ring to dip into the glaze.
