The mainstay of my collecting has been the myriad designs on English delftware. Wherever possible I have sought out dated or documentary examples. A particular highlight of my collecting career was the acquisition of the exceptional posset pot (lot 9), painted in no fewer than five high temperature colours. Not only is it dated 1695 - meaning that it was made around half way through the very long period during which tin-glazed earthenware was manufactured in England - but it also bears the initials SM which through a delightful piece of serendipity just happen to be my initials. As I explained in a lecture to the English Ceramic Circle (2012 Transactions), this pot has a very interesting Provenance: it was first recorded in the December 1903 Sotheby's sale of the collection of John Hodgkin Esq, son of John Eliot Hodgkin FSA who along with his daughter Edith Hodgkin compiled the pioneering study, 'Examples of Early English Pottery, Named, Dated and Inscribed', privately printed in 1891. Researching my pieces in this way brought me enormous satisfaction and I hope that other collectors will derive the same enduring pleasure and enjoyment I have had from handling and studying delftware pots, plates and tiles. S.J McManus, October 2014 Further delftware and tiles from the S J McManus Collection will be sold in Bonhams specialist Oak Sale on 28 January 2015 and also in a subsequent ceramics sale in the spring, both held at Bonhams Oxford salerooms. 1 1 1 a london delftware flower VaSe and a powdered manganeSe mug, CirCa 1650-60 Both probably Southwark, the white-glazed vase of ovoid shape on a spreading circular foot, three nozzles alternating with shell shaped scrolls applied below the wavy rim, 11cm high (discoloured, some restoration), the small mug of cylindrical shape widening towards the base, the exterior with powdered manganese decoration, 8.2cm high (handle replaced) (2) £1,500 - 3,000 US$2,400 - 4,800 Provenance: The S J McManus Collection For related vases bearing dates between 1650 and 1683, see Lipski and Archer, Dated English Delftware (1984), p.355. A plain example is illustrated by Michael Archer and Brian Morgan, Fair as China Dishes (1977), p.31 and another from the Simon Sainsbury Collection was sold by Christie’s, 18 June 2008, lot 23. 2 For a similar mug with powdered manganese decoration see Frank Britton, London Delftware (1987), p.121. 8 | BonhAmS 2 a netherlandS delftware altar VaSe, firSt half 16th Century Of squat globular shape with ring handles at both sides, painted in dark blue on either side with the Sacred Monogram IHS flanking a crucifix, 9.3 cm high (incomplete) £600 - 1,000 US$970 - 1,600 Provenance: The Derek Sherborn Collection With Sampson and Horne The S J McManus Collection Exhibited: Sampson and Horne Exhibition 2008 Similar examples are illustrated by Frank Britton, London Delftware (1987), pp 98-99. Although many Flemish potters were working in Aldgate, London, it is likely that the group of vessels to which this lot belongs were made in the Netherlands, even though a number have been excavated in London. 3 3 an engliSh delftware adam and eVe Charger, CirCa 1690-1700 Probably Brislington, painted in blue, green, manganese and yellow with a serpent coiled around a branch of the Tree of Life, tempting Eve with a yellow apple as she hands another apple to Adam, flanked by further trees, within a blue-dash rim, 34cm diam (restored) £1,000 - 1,500 US$1,600 - 2,400 Provenance: The S J McManus Collection Literature: Illustrated by W M Beaumont, The Pedigree of Blue-dash Chargers, in The Connoisseur magazine, September 1925, p.5, no.

The 18th and 19th centuries are often regarded as the creative zenith of the industry, with potteries producing many superb quality pieces to rival the country’s finest. The foremost manufacturer in this period was the Leeds Pottery Company, established around 1770 in Hunslet. The company are best known for their creamware made from Cornish clay and given a translucent glaze. Although other potteries in the country made creamware, the Leeds product was of such a high quality that all creamware became popularly known as ‘Leedsware’. The company’s other products included blackware and drabware. The Leeds Pottery was perhaps the largest pottery in Yorkshire. In the early 1800s it used over 9000 tonnes of coal a year and exported to places such as Russia and Brazil. Business suffered in the later 1800s due to increased competition and the company closed in 1881. Production was restarted in 1888 by a ‘revivalist’ company which used old Leeds Pottery designs and labelled their products ‘Leeds Pottery’. The revivalist company closed in 1957. Another key manufacturer was Burmantofts Pottery, established around 1845 in the Burmantofts district of Leeds.

  • 'A Mind to Copy': Inspired by Meissen
    ‘A Mind to Copy’: Inspired by Meissen Anton Gabszewicz Independent Ceramic Historian, London Figure 1. Sir Charles Hanbury Williams by John Giles Eccardt. 1746 (National Portrait Gallery, London.) 20 he association between Nicholas Sprimont, part owner of the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory, Sir Everard Fawkener, private sec- retary to William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, the second son of King George II, and Sir Charles Hanbury Williams, diplomat and Tsometime British Envoy to the Saxon Court at Dresden was one that had far-reaching effects on the development and history of the ceramic industry in England. The well-known and oft cited letter of 9th June 1751 from Han- bury Williams (fig. 1) to his friend Henry Fox at Holland House, Kensington, where his china was stored, sets the scene. Fawkener had asked Hanbury Williams ‘…to send over models for different Pieces from hence, in order to furnish the Undertakers with good designs... But I thought it better and cheaper for the manufacturers to give them leave to take away any of my china from Holland House, and to copy what they like.’ Thus allowing Fawkener ‘… and anybody He brings with him, to see my China & to take away such pieces as they have a mind to Copy.’ The result of this exchange of correspondence and Hanbury Williams’ generous offer led to an almost instant influx of Meissen designs at Chelsea, a tremendous impetus to the nascent porcelain industry that was to influ- ence the course of events across the industry in England. Just in taking a ca- sual look through the products of most English porcelain factories during Figure 2.

  • Signature Redacted for Privacy. Abstract Approved: David Brauner
    A1' ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Jeffrey Max LaLande for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Archaeo1ogy/History/ArChi- tectural History presented on March 18, 1981 Title: Sojourners in the Oregon Siskiyous: Adaptation and Acculturation of the Chinese Miners in the Applegate Valley, Ca. 1855-1900. Signature redacted for privacy. Abstract approved: David Brauner The study examines the acculturation and environmental adaptation of nineteenth century Chinese miners in a por- tion of southwestern Oregon. The problem concerns the varieties of culture change whichresultedwhen this ethnic group found itself required to subsist in a newsocial and physical environment. The study focuses on the archaeo- logical data recovered from several Chinese sites in south- western Oregon as well as the records of Chinese purchases from a local Euro-American mercantile establishment. Through the use of ethnographic, archaeological and archival evidence, three Chinese behavioral patterns are investigated. The subsistence pattern includes dietary habits, wearing apparel, personal grooming and drug use. The settlement pattern includes characteristic locations of Chinese habitation sites as well as their architecture. The technological pattern involves the economic activities of the Chinese, in this case hy6raulic placer mining. The subsistence pattern of the Chinese sojourners exhibits little acculturation in food habits, personal grooming or drug use, but substantial adoption of Euro- American clothing and footwear. Environmental adaptations include the utilization of wild plants and animal foods on a limited basis.
