Here are 96 images of pairs of ceramics, in high to low order, from the very top end of
the market. The price range is £25,000 to £2,000 hammer. There are more than 2,300
ceramic pairs on our website ranging down to just £5. In the space available I will
pursue two of the more important themes in these pages. In addition I will analyse
about a dozen other lots worthy of comment. The reader may wish also to follow their
own interests. I hope the discussion here will point up the importance of examining the
detail rather than simply browsing these pages.
Understanding the high esteem placed on pairs is very important. Only the most
spectacular of single items are occasionally more important. Their investment potential
is usually sound. Take the pair of early nineteenth century Mason’s Patent Ironstone
China vases at 41. At 22in high they are extraordinarily rare and surely destined to
grace the hallway of some grand mansion. My own recent purchases are more modest,
a pair of Chinese blue and white nineteenth century spoons and a fine pair of French
faience Longwy knife rests. The point is that these are highly collectible and selling will
never be a problem. My advice is to avoid buying most of the time and save your
money for those occasions when something very special comes along. Worthwhile buys
are by their nature uncommon, if not rare.

Herts. May 04. HP: £11,100.

ANTIQUES INFO - July/August 07
Animalia feature seventeen times in our 96 examples. Check out the Chinese hawks at
1, the Derby wild boars at 5 and the Chelsea pheasants at 8. This is the top end of the
market and expect to find all of the major manufacturers and categories represented in
these pages. Chinese porcelain always figures at the upper end of the market and our
second example can be found at 22. Pairs of Staffordshire animals will always be well
represented. See the pair of lions at 21, leopards at 26 and rabbits at 32, making sure
that you don’t miss the pair of Bow lions at 30. On page 44 are two further examples
of Chinese pairs at 47 and 55. There are more Staffordshire leopards at 63 and a
pearlware John Walton unicorn and lion pair at 86. Readers should also check out 9,
where carp have been integrated into the design of a pair of French ewers, 12 where
mythological creatures support a pair of Flight, Barr and Barr candlesticks, 48 where
swans decorate a pair of majolica ewers and 81, a pair of Cantonese figural candlesticks
modelled as elephants. Both humans and animals appear together at 50, a pair of
Meissen figures by J J Kaendler. Readers will also find animal decoration in these
pages, most noticeably with Japanese carp decorating Moorcroft vases at 4, or H
Stinton highland cattle on Royal Worcester at 62. Don’t miss either, the animals
decorating Italian maiolica alberello drug jars at 87. The human form can be followed
from the pair of Meissen pagoda figures at 10, through 14, 25, 31, 37, 45, 54, 65, 71,
72, 78, 90 to the fine pair of Royal Dux Moorish water carriers at 96. See also the
George Jones majolica candlesticks at 51. Rarest of all are probably the pair of basalt
figures of Lord Rodney and Admiral Hood at 14. Black basalt pairs of figures from the
late eighteenth/early nineteenth century usually top out at about £4,000 hammer and go
down from there. £9,000 could well be an auction record for basalt. Readers may
follow any theme they wish. In the space left I am going to draw attention to as many
important aspects of the market that I can cover. Check out the Minton paté sur paté at
3. Incidentally if by Louis Solon then the sky is the limit. Another high flying name is
Nantgarw. The uninspiring pair of plates at 13, estimated in the hundreds because of
their condition fetched an astonishing £9,400 at Canterbury Auction Galleries in 2003,
this certainly a record for a Nantgarw pair at auction. Now check out the Mintons Art
Pottery chargers at 11. Hand painted art pottery is in fashion. Add the semi-erotic nudity
and don’t be surprised at the £11,100 hammer. Never underestimate English delft. See
29. I thought of bidding. The estimate I remember was about £1,200-1,500. I knew this
would be exceeded so debated whether to go to £3,000. Then I realised that this would
never be enough and sure enough, they reached nearly £6,000. They must be a sound
investment. Where would you ever find another pair? I did not expect the Morrisware
biscuit jars to go to nearly £5,000 (See 40) which is nearer to Moorcroft prices. The
most I have seen paid for a pair of tube lined Morrisware vases was just over £1,500 at
Sotheby’s in 2005. Never underestimate Mason’s. The pair of early lidded vases at 41
are quite spectacular at 22in and nearly £5,000. They could sell on for more. The pair
of Fremington vases at 85 are well above the usual price. However, they are very
special and nothing so good has appeared in the market to my knowledge. The pair of
Royal Dux vases by Hampel at 94 are superb, bringing both humour and narrative to
the ceramics art, a considerable feat. These reached near the very top end of Royal Dux
prices. Perhaps they deserve to push nearer to £3,000 as do the Moorish water carriers
at 96. Finally cornucopia wall pockets are expensive and I have seen them go to at least
£4,000-5,000. These fetched quite a modest price at £2,000 hammer so may have
potential. The buyer certainly didn’t over pay!
