Jessie Elaine Hallen (née Brooke; 1902–1983), known as Jessie Van Hallen, was a British ceramicist who worked for George Wade between 1930 and 1940. Born in Wolstanton, Stoke-on-Trent, she attended Burslem School of Art. She is known for her highly collectible whimsical figurines, such as garden gnomes, flowers, animals and ladies.[1] The onset of the Second World War curtailed production of such pieces in favour of those more in line with the war effort.[2][3]
