Specialist’s Insights Our first dedicated British and European Ceramics section of 2019 holds host to a number of highly promising lots which will no doubt be strongly contended for in the saleroom. After a successful sale last year of a private collection of Victorian parian with strong prices throughout, we are pleased to be offering a second selection of figures from the same source.

A highlight of this section is undoubtedly our front cover feature, lot 53, a Minton figural group of Cupid and Psyche.

Inspired from one of the most famous stories from classical mythology, this figure evokes all the classical romanticism you could want, with a highly affordable pre-sale estimate of £200-£300. Elsewhere in the sale, lot 62, offers a much more unusual rendition of romance. Titled as ‘The Power of Love’ and modelled as Cupid trying to prise a quiver of arrows

6

from a recumbent lion’s mouth, this group offers an interesting representation of the power play dynamic and (hopeful!) eventual triumph of love over brute force.

Elsewhere in the auction, another private collection from a Shropshire vendor of 18th and 19th century sealed wine bottles are a firm favourite of mine.

With seals ranging from important families of Britain, to a naval sealed bottle intended for the transport of fruit juice to help combat scurvy, these are a

great way to start a quirky and diverse collection with the additional bonus of ready-built provenance attached.

Looking forward to the rest of the year, I would be delighted to handle further private collections of European Ceramics or Glass and I am anticipating another exciting year in both departments. We offer valuation days here at our Head Office every Monday (except Bank Holidays) between 10AM-1PM and by private appointment on request.

8

2

circa 1825-20 with applied seal for ‘John Winn Jr’ 22.5cm high PROVENANCE: There may be an American connection here but this has not been confirmed.

Examples by the Glass Works at Bristol are also known with this seal. £80 - £120

the seal with initials ‘D.B.D’ and the date 1836 27.5cm high

PROVENANCE: The bottles can be attributed to Daniel Bishop Davy, shipbuilder of Topsham, Devonshire. He worked with his brother Francis in a number of successful business enterprises, most of which involved heavy industry. It is unclear why Davy placed so many orders for sealed bottles each year, as well as unsealed examples, as there is no information as to whether he was also in the wine merchant trade, although this would not be surprising. £150 - £200

The British Military used sealed bottles until the late 1840s and similar bottles would have been shipped to British colonies in Australia, South Africa, Bermuda, etc. It is probable that this bottle was shipped to a British Garrison and would have held fruit juice or similar, non-alcoholic fruit juice in order to prevent scurvy. £150 - £200

Specialist’s Insights William Morris (1834-1896), advising on interior décor, is quoted as saying ‘ “If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful’.”Fortunately the furniture selection in our Spring auction offers plenty of both useful and beautiful pieces of furniture which have stood the test of time and will continue to give great service to the lucky buyer. Take for instance Lot 106, a tremendously useful Aesthetic Movement writing table, based on the pattern books of Edward Godwin (1833-1886) who knew a thing or two about design, having won a competition to design Northampton Town Hall in 1861. This table is informed by the Japanese aesthetic, strong, simple lines and every bit a modern piece but made around 1880-still going strong and ideal for your laptop. Or how about Lot 111, a display cabinet to trounce all others-made in eighteenth century Holland and perfect for showing off any fine collection of porcelain or glass?

Many pieces of furniture only have to withstand occasional use but bedroom furniture, unless it is in a spare room, is used every day. There are some remarkable bedroom suites on offer here and one or two great beds. Lot 126, a four poster bed, previously resided in Morville Hall and combines the age and elegance of George III elements with the robustness of a modern frame made by master craftsman Adam Bunning of Bridgnorth. Just add a base and mattress and you have a fantastic combination with great provenance.

One may be forgiven for thinking that we have cleared the contents of a Scottish house given the plethora of Glasgow School bedroom suites in this sale. These pieces, however, came from private vendors in Wales although wear their Scottish roots with a flourish. There is an Arts and Crafts bedroom suite (Lot 145) in oak with a particularly striking blue tile back washstand whilst a little further on (Lot 167) is an example of the craftsmanship of Ernest Archibald Taylor (1874-1951). Taylor, born in Greenock, studied at the Glasgow School of Art and won acclaim at the

1901 Glasgow International Exhibition and this bedroom suite displays the significant influence of Charles Rennie Macintosh (1868-1928). If you want pure Rennie Mackintosh, how about a wonderful pair of reproduction wardrobes (Lot 152) after his original designs for Hill House, Helensborough , 1903?

Now these are definitely both useful and beautiful.

William Morris would definitely have approved!

‘Walnut versions were available (£25.0s.0d) as well as ebonized wood (£26.0s.0d). The table has many details characteristic of Godwin’s Anglo-Japanese style, including S-shaped elbow struts, complex interplay of solids and voids, narrow tapering legs ending in gilded shoes, delicate construction and display shelves. A portfolio for storing paper was designed to sit on the writing surface. The idea of the double sided writing table probably came from the Georgian partner’s library table, a form that was extremely popular throughout the eighteenth century.’ £200 - £300

(b) Halls Holdings Limited do not accept responsibility for the authenticity, attribution, genuineness, origin, authorship, date, age, period, condition or quality of any lot unless they have been instructed in writing by the seller to so certify, and in such case the auctioneers do so as agents of the seller and are not themselves responsible for such claims. (c) All statements whether printed in the catalogue or made orally as to any of the matters set out in (b) above are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representations of fact by Halls Holdings Limited unless they have been instructed in writing by the seller to so certify.
