The sale features 100 lots spanning a wide variety of styles and materials from the beginning of 20th century until the present day; estimates range from £1,000 to £300,000. The Heart of the Rose and The White Rose and the Red Rose (estimate: £200,000-300,000 for each panel), a pair of painted and jewelled gesso panels by Scottish artist Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh (1864-1933), were first displayed in the Rose Boudoir at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Art in Turin, 1902. The Rose Boudoir, the result of a collaboration between Margaret and her husband Charles Rennie Mackintosh, defined a moment of consummate refinement in the evolution of the couple’s oeuvre and these panels played a pivotal role. Remaining strongly representative of the Glasgow avant-garde, they illustrate the rose theme in a lyrical, symbolist manner in a subtle evocation of maternal and sensual love.

The dates for our meetings in 2019 and 2020 are listed below. Some of the information is necessarily provisional or has had to be changed since the last Newsletter so please do check this list before setting out to attend a meeting. The ECC visit to Sherborne Castle and Gardens on 22 May 2019 was a great success. Members enjoyed seeing the castle (built by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1594) and reflects a variety of decorative styles in its rich interiors and important collections of porcelain, art, and furniture. Sherborne’s porcelain collection is celebrated for its Kakiemon with Chinese, Meissen, Chantilly and English ceramics plus rare Chelsea vases, Chelsea/Derby pieces, an armorial Chamberlains’ Worcester service, a Minton desert service and Bow and Isleworth items. Following a talk by an Archivist, we were given a tour through the castle when the ropes preventing close-up viewing of the ceramic cabinets were removed. We also had a special viewing of the pieces in store. You should by now have received the latest Transactions plus two additional volumes containing the papers given at two ECC seminars: Influences and inspiration – 400 years of Japanese porcelain and Neoclassical ceramics.

The key to buying bronzes is to acquire the skill of identifying where a specific bronze stands on this continuum - the ‘same’ bronze may occur at several points, according to its edition, so novices need to be careful. 2 Several things determine value. First, of course, the artist. With anonymous works or those by lesser artists, period and school are important; because of the unparalleled achievement of French bronzes during the nineteenth century, the Bronze figure of a bull cast 7 after a model by Rosa designation ‘French’ nearly always adds value - as does ‘Art Deco.’ Bonheur, standing with raised Rarity is also important: early casting in a long series are far more sought after tail, brown/green patination, than later ones, and some bronzes are limited editions.

It was, and is still, an objet of desire, an objet d'art, treasured and handed down through generations. Charles Vyse served an apprenticeship as a modeller and designer at Doulton's, 1896 and later studied at Hanley Art School and sculpture at the Royal College of Art, 1905-10. He worked first as a portrait and figurative sculptor before setting up a pottery studio in 1919 in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, with his wife Nell who was especially knowledgeable about glaze chemistry. They produced colorfully decorated figures many of London characters, such as the 'Balloon Girl' and 'Barnet Fair'. After 1923 they experimented with high-fired wares and revived Chinese glaze techniques particularly chun and tenmoku glazes. During the 1930s they also produced contemporary designs with geometric patterns and calligraphy. Throughout that decade they sold mainly through Walker's Gallery in Bond Street where they had an annual exhibition every November. Around 1940 the couple separated and Nell Vyse gave up ceramics. After the studio was damaged in the blitz in 1940 Charles Vyse taught at Farnham School of Art.

VOLUME I 1 – 10,803 - - - - - - Crafts Study Centre Bath 1984 - 1985 F O R E W O R D This is the third and final catalogue of the papers of Bernard Leach. However, a number of his letters are in the Muriel Rose archives, also held at the Crafts Study Centre: many of these are in answer to her own letters to him listed in the three Leach catalogues. Other Bernard Leach material may yet emerge, and hopefully any such records will be deposited at the Centre. Mr David Leach made available the first “trance” of these papers, for which the Centre is deeply grateful – as, indeed, it is for the contents of Bernard Leach II, also deposited by him. The second section of this catalogue concerns the papers of the late Mrs Trudi Scott, Bernard Leach’s housekeeper, confidante and indispensable prop during his last years. I had only one telephone conversation with her ever, shortly before she died, during which she promised me an original drawing by Bernard – which I never got! Following her death, I enquired of those close to her about her papers, and can thus claim credit for having saved them. They would otherwise have been thrown away. The collection consists largely of fascinating oddments, single pages of letters, infuriating but captivating jumbles of “membra disiecta”, which have required the repeated re-cataloguing of already catalogued entries, and the constant need to review and revise and rewrite, as fragments came together during the interim and final sortings.
