Detail: No.69 A Spectacular Derby a campana shaped vase.
FOREWORD
Our Autumn Catalogue 2013 is designed to give a flavour of the acquisitions we
have made in recent months. During this period we have, as in past years, been
fortunate to acquire both privately and at auction a varied and I hope interesting
group of pieces, many having passed through our hands in the past.
This catalogue is particularly rich in fine teapots, many from the collection of the
late Sidney M Arenburg, and acquired from Albert Amor in the 1970s and 1980s.
Of particular note are the very fine early Worcester blue and white ‘Indian
Fisherman’ pattern teapot, no 1 in this catalogue, and formerly exhibited here in the
Paul B Zeisler Jr Collection in 1986, a good Lowestoft blue and white teapot and a
rare Vauxhall example. Polychrome decorated teapots from the collection include
a particularly brightly enamelled Bow example, no 27, and a number of good
Worcester teapots, including number 50, beautifully decorated with a dragonfly
amongst the flowers.
Chelsea in this catalogue includes both a cauliflower and an asparagus tureen –
both classic examples of the factory output in the mid 1750’s, a large sunflower dish
particularly brightly decorated, and a fine vase and chocolate cup and saucer, with
Meissen inspired decoration.
Figures from Bow, Chelsea and Derby are also well represented, with a number of
variants of Bow figures of Harlequin and Columbine, a fine Bow figure of Neptune,
especially well modelled and coloured, and a pair of Chelsea Gold Anchor period
candlestick groups representing the Seasons.
Worcester with polychrome decoration includes a rare flower tub and cover, formerly
in the Zorensky Collection, a good Giles decorated pink scale bordered plate, and two
fine large cylindrical mugs painted with exotic birds on a blue scale ground. We also
show a pair of Worcester fruit coolers, covers and liners decorated in the Hop Trellis
pattern, which we last exhibited at the much lamented Grosvenor House Art and
Antiques Fair in 2009. To date no comparable pair has been recorded, and the quality
of the decoration is superb.
Later porcelains feature a good Flight and Barr Worcester mug, very finely painted
with a named view of Blenheim Palace, a fine Chamberlain’s Worcester dish and
two plates from the Goold Service, and an interesting figure of a young man, in
the white, as yet by an unidentified factory. We also show a spectacular Derby large
campana shaped vase, with the very best factory flower and landscape painting
from this period.
Continental pieces include a fine and rare Mennecy teapot, in the white, with very
detailed applied decoration, and contemporary French silver mounts, and a large
early 19th century Sevres ormolu mounted group of Venus bathing.
Many collectors will remember the Albert Amor Exhibition in 1977 of a
spectacular Derby botanical dessert service, painted by William Quaker Pegg.
I am delighted that in this catalogue we again show a very fine, but slightly earlier
Derby botanical dessert service, also very well painted, but in a more restrained
late eighteenth century style. It is so rare now for these services to appear on the
market complete with sauce tureens and dishes, and in such fantastic condition.
To complement the Derby service we also show some individual Derby botanical
pieces, and an exceptional Derby dessert service and set of plates with very detailed
painting of hunting scenes, and also two fine dessert services by Spode. Services of
this size are quite a logistical challenge to show in Bury Street (as many who have
visited us will understand…), but I think this is a great opportunity to remind
collectors how spectacular these services can be.
I do hope that you will enjoy this catalogue. Please do contact me if I can tell
you more about any of these pieces.
All exhibits are for sale from the publication of this catalogue.
