Florence Mary Goodsell was born in New Zealand in 1932 and studied pottery at the Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland. After graduating, she worked as a potter in England for several years before returning to New Zealand in 1959. Goodsell established Molle Pottery in 1960 in a small workshop in Auckland. She initially produced functional pottery, such as bowls, plates, and jugs. However, she soon began to experiment with more decorative pieces, such as sculptures and figurines. Her work was influenced by a variety of sources, including Maori art, Polynesian art, and Art Deco. Items by Molle Pottery quickly became popular in New Zealand and overseas. Goodsell's work was exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, and she won numerous awards for her pottery. She continued to work as a potter until her death in 2008.
