    ‘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.

Hand-crafted in England by Royal Crown Derby’s skilled artisans, in its historic Osmaston Road factory, the collection, which will be available to purchase in April, features five delicate pieces; a 21.5cm Talbot Plate, Loving Cup, Miniature Loving Cup, Covered Trinket Box and Five Petal Tray, each festooned in rich blues and reds and hand-finished in 22-carat gold. Each item features a commemorative backstamp and will be a limited edition of 426 pieces (with the exception of the general release Five Petal Tray), to reflect the fourth month of 1926, when Queen Elizabeth was born. June Branscombe’s inspired designs follow the theme of the family badge of the House of Windsor - the Oak tree - and depicts the sovereign’s crown surrounded by the emblems of the United Kingdom; the Tudor rose of England, the thistle of Scotland, the leek of Wales and the shamrock of Northern Ireland. The centre of the plate carries the Queen’s Cipher – E II R with the Sovereign’s Crown within a cartouche of oak leaves and all items are surrounded by a commemorative inscription, “To Celebrate the Ninetieth Birthday of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II 21st April 2016”, making each item the perfect addition to any royal aficionado’s collection.

TDRF 2480 TDRF: Club Fermoy #18 Dear friends and supporters, In this, the first of our winter editions, I am pleased to announce that The David Roche Foundation is celebrating its fifth anniversary on June 3 with a range of special programmes. Join a house tour between 1-16 June to receive a free exhibition ticket to Embroidery and view a specially curated showcase of person items belonging to David Roche, including Geelong Grammar memorabilia and his Pierre Cardin and Breguet wrist watches. We have also been working hard on developing a membership programme so you can get even more out of our house tours, exhibitions, events and shop. Come along to our twilight evening on Thursday 17 June to be amongst the first to see our new exhibition Embroidery: Oppression to Expression and become a member! This visually stunning exhibition of over 100 English, European and Australian embroideries stretches across four centuries. A rare and wonderful treat for textile lovers. When David Roche left his Estate, home and art collection to the people of South Australia it was a transformative philanthropic gift. The museum has now welcomed over 26,000 visitors, held exhibitions and events that expand our knowledge and enjoyment of the decorative arts, and become part of the cultural life of the State. Passionately led by Martyn Cook until early 2019, the museum collection also benefited greatly from his generosity.
