INTRODUCTION Adam Partridge Auctioneers is delighted to be offering for sale over 400 lots carefully selected by Paul Rice from his large studio ceramics collection. Well known as the author of the seminal book British Studio Ceramics and as a London gallery owner and curator, Paul – a native New Yorker – originally trained as a scientist with the intention of becoming an environmentalist, but always had a love and fascination for art. Moving to London in 1970 and establishing himself as a dealer specializing in European post-War abstract art, he was introduced to studio ceramics by the painter Patrick Heron, who had helped run the Leach Pottery during the war. Struck at once how important British ceramics were and how little was known about them, Paul began exhibiting ceramics when he moved house in 1979. ‘This was a happy decision for me’, Paul writes. ‘As a dealer, I was able to organize meaningful exhibitions as well as do useful research, write and help museums with purchases, exhibitions and bringing out their, often hidden, treasures – all of which, would have been near impossible for me in the ‘fine art’ world. As a collector, it gave me access to pots from artist’s own collections that might otherwise not come to market and, often, first choice when buying from working potters. Collecting studio ceramics has been one of the joys of my life.’ Paul now picks up his story, expanding on how he got into collecting and dealing, describing the field and market in the early days, opening his gallery, writing books, his personal relationships with potters, and the breadth of his collection and personal tastes. I grew up in Manhattan and developed three passions in my early childhood – natural history, art and collecting things. By the age of 5 or 6, I had made up my mind to become a herpetologist and was building an impressive collection of bottle tops. When I was 10, the Guggenheim Museum opened only a few blocks from my school and I spent many hours there entranced by the building and modern art. I was veering in school very much towards science and, after reading Rachel Carson’s book, Silent Spring, I began working towards becoming an ecologist – eventually majoring in chemical engineering. Some dramatic changes in my late teens altered everything considerably. I moved to London, married, and set myself up as a private art dealer specializing in European post-war abstraction. I first came across studio ceramics when visiting the painter, Patrick Heron. He had helped run the Leach Pottery during the war and had a few lovely examples of Leach and Hamada. Most dealers and collectors I knew had no knowledge about them at all. I was instantly hooked. Anyone who became interested in studio pottery after about 1980 cannot begin to understand what a desert the field was in the 1970s. Only four books had been published of which three were out of print and impossible to find. There were very few venues for pots (and most were mediocre craft shops). There was no secondary market – a friend who inherited a pretty good Bernard Leach was told by the two major auction houses that ‘it wasn’t worth selling’. Most potters survived by teaching and had little work (or time) available. Though a number of museums had good collections, access to them was difficult. Getting information and buying first-rate pots was a big challenge. When I moved house in 1979, I began exhibiting pots alongside paintings. This made a huge difference to me. While the ‘fine art’ world was very lucrative, it was not very pleasant. Many dealers and collectors seemed more interested in money and social status than they were in art and many of the painters I met had Hollywood-sized egos. Without eye-watering amounts of money it was difficult to do anything very meaningful. The ceramic world was completely different – people were genuinely interested in the work and usually friendly, humble and uncompetitive. They were also people who I had much more in common with both in spirit and financially. 3

Because studio ceramics was such a backwater, I discovered I was able to do all sorts of things that I never could have done in the painting world – meaningful research, writing, putting on exhibitions of the most important artists of the 20th century, helping museums form collections and, most importantly to me, being able to afford to build my own collection. The combination of exhibiting and collecting is ideal as a collector. I was able to live with dozens of pots by an artist for a month (I exhibited in my house). This is a totally different experience from a quick visit to a shop or potter where you only spend minutes with a pot in an unfamiliar place. It also meant I could buy pots just to see how I felt about them – safe in the knowledge that it would be easy to pass them on if I didn’t love them. It also gave me access to pots that I would never have been able to get otherwise. Because I was selling pots to museums (and also because, in some cases, the potters were being completely ignored) I was given access to a number of potter’s personal collections. These included three of William Staite Murray’s most important students (Margaret Rey, Bob Washington and Gwilym Thomas), Ian Auld, Eric James Mellon, Vera Tollow, Derek Davis, Bernard Rooke and Poh Chap Yeap. I did three exhibitions with Bob Washington – only two of the pots had ever been exhibited before (and that was in 1938). The majority of Margaret Rey pots on the market came from the exhibitions I did with her. Another benefit was the ability to meet many of the great potters. I found it much easier approaching them knowing that I might buy quite a number of pots rather than just a teabowl. In the case of those no longer potting, I would probably never had visited them otherwise. My two visits to Katharine Pleydell-Bouverie, for example, were because I was putting on a retrospective of her pots based on the collections of Peter Wright and Sidney Moss. I tried to collect as widely as possible. Sometimes living with a pot you are not completely comfortable with can be an excellent learning experience. My natural taste seems to favour fairly ‘rough’ pots – Murray and his followers, Ewen Henderson, Colin Pearson, etc – but I also love Michael Cardew, the Leach school and I have a great fondness for mid-period Briglin vases. I have discovered that many of my most-loved pots come from three narrow periods: 1935-38, a few years either side of 1960 and the early 1980s. I have tried hundreds of potters and am often surprised by my own reaction. I have found it very difficult to find Gordon Baldwin’s I like – though I greatly admire his work. I have added Liz Fritsch to my collection eight times but never kept one for any length of time. There are other potters – Barbara Cass, Geoffrey Eastop for example – that I was hesitant about at first but who get better and better for me as time goes on.

In the late 1980s, I was given the opportunity to write an overview of 20th century British studio pottery. My aim was to produce the book I wished I had had when I started collecting – information on most of the important potters as well as marks and details of museum collections. The feedback I have gotten has been very positive and I have met a few people who are more familiar with my book than I am. I have continued writing but when I began writing obituaries for The Times, I discovered how much I preferred writing anonymously – and have done so, whenever possible. At the end of the century, Crowood Press decided to allow me to update and revamp my 1989 book – and it was published this time exactly as I wished in 2002. As well showing the major potters, I also greatly enjoyed exhibiting younger artists. In 2000 I decided to only exhibit 20th century work (and went on a big pottery shopping spree). But before that I tried to show a wide range of upcoming or ignored talent. I gave Ewen Henderson his second solo exhibition, Rupert Spira’s (I think) first, Edward Hughes’s first UK solo show outside of Cumbria, and exhibited Julian Stair’s RCA work before he even had a studio. Two of my fondest memories are an exhibition of the teachers and emerging highly talented potters at Camberwell in the early 1980s, and a retrospective of Carol McNicoll’s tea wares. I also enjoyed helping people become aware of some of the important potters from the early and middle years of the century who had become largely forgotten – Vera Tollow, Barbara Cass, George Wilson and many others. Despite my efforts many are still largely unrecognized today. I am now in my 70s and ‘retiring’ but will greatly miss putting on exhibitions. I will, of course, continue to collect. I have promised my family, though, that I will keep my collection below 1000 pots – this will not be an easy task as I have many more. I am making lots of self-imposed rules to help me keep the numbers down: only 20th century work, only British, American (and a few Japanese) pots, no raku or burnished earthenware (thank goodness as I can’t afford to buy an Odundo); no tea or coffee pots, no purely sculptural work, etc. A lot of much-loved pots are going – a sad and difficult decision – but I can not display everything and I am hoping the pots will go to loving homes. And that it will give the physical and mental space to buy more. 5

Literature: Illustrated in Christopher Frayling, Art and Design: 100 Years at the Royal College of Art (Collins & Brown, 1999), p. 170; Paul Rice, British Studio Ceramics (Crowood Press, 2002), p. 65. Paul Rice: This was Margaret’s favourite pot – the only one she said she wouldn’t sell (even to museums where many of the major pots went). But when my wife said how much she loved it, she allowed us to buy it. The influence of Staite Murray is clearly seen on the lip and foot. £2,000-£4,000 †

SAM HAILE (1909-1948) ‘3 people assisting at the birth of Mandrake flowers’, watercolour and ink, titled, signed and dated 1944, 54.5 x 37cm, framed and glazed, and a copy of the book Sam Haile: Potter and Painter by Paul Rice et al (Bellew Publishing, 1993) (2).

24 15

25 ROBERT J WASHINGTON (1913-1997)

A tall stoneware bottle covered in iron rich glaze and painted figurative decoration, made circa 1964, height 55cm. Paul Rice: Bob Washington was critical of the pot illustrated in my book because the figure of the woman was clear. His favourite pots were those where the decoration was almost fired out so you could only faintly see the form. He also preferred his pots where the weight was primarily at the bottom. £1,000-£1,500 † 26 CONSTANCE DUNN

A small stoneware vase covered in white crackle glaze, impressed W mark, made 1930s, height 9cm. Paul Rice: Dunn produced some beautiful work. I met her granddaughter recently, who is also a potter. There is a family collection, so I am hoping one day to see an exhibition of this artist’s very rare work. £80-£120 † 27

PHILIP WADSWORTH (1910-1991) A waisted stoneware vase covered in white glaze with polychrome decoration, incised PSW mark and number/ year codes, probably made 1950s, height 12.5cm. Exhibited: Masters of Studio Pottery, Part 1: William Staite Murray and his pupils, Oxford Ceramics Gallery, 2018. Paul Rice: Wadsworth was a student of Staite Murray and a contemporary of Sam Haile, Percy Brown and Henry Hammond at the RCA. He exhibited relatively little and consequently his work is less well known than it should be. £120-£180 †

PHILIP WADSWORTH (1910-1991) A large stoneware bottle with red and green copper floral decoration on mottled grey ground, incised PSW mark, probably made late 1930s, height 28.5cm.

29 REGINALD MARLOW

Paul Rice: Ursula asked much higher prices for her tenmoku pots than similar forms in other glazes. When I asked her why she said: ‘because the ingredients are more expensive’. I assumed it was a joke and that she simply thought tenmoku suited her work best. £150-£200 † 33 URSULA MOMMENS (1908-2010)

31 URSULA MOMMENS (1908-2010)

A stoneware bowl with striped decoration, impressed UD mark (partially glaze filled), diameter 15cm.

A globular porcelain vase with iron leaf decoration, impressed HH mark, made 1960/70s, height 18cm. £550-£650 † 39 HENRY HAMMOND (1914-1989)

A stoneware footed bowl with iron fish and floral decoration and circular design to well, impressed HH mark, made 1970s, diameter 20cm. Exhibited: Masters of Studio Pottery, Part 1: William Staite Murray and his pupils, Oxford Ceramics Gallery, 2018. £500-£700 †

40 HENRY HAMMOND (1914-1989)

A large stoneware footed bowl with cobalt wave decoration to well, impressed HH mark, made 1980s, diameter 26.5cm. Provenance: Liliana Epstein collection. Paul Rice: Hokusai’s wave was one of Henry’s favourite works of art and he used its form – sometimes incredibly abstracted – on many of his later pots. £500-£700 † 19

41 HENRY HAMMOND (1914-1989)

A stoneware bottle with iron widgeon decoration, impressed HH mark, made 1970s, height 22cm. Exhibited: Masters of Studio Pottery, Part 1: William Staite Murray and his pupils, Oxford Ceramics Gallery, 2018. Paul Rice: Henry was adamant that his birds were widgeons. If you called one a pigeon or a dove he got quite peeved. £800-£1,200 † 42 HENRY HAMMOND (1914-1989)

A stoneware yunomi with white dot decoration on blue/grey ground, impressed HH mark, made 1970s, height 9cm. Provenance: Sue James collection. Exhibited: Masters of Studio Pottery, Part 1: William Staite Murray and his pupils, Oxford Ceramics Gallery, 2018. £120-£180 † 43

PERCY BROWN (1911-1996) A stoneware vase partially covered in oatmeal glaze with unglazed bands, painted PB mark, made 1950/60s, height 21cm. Exhibited: Masters of Studio Pottery, Part 1: William Staite Murray and his pupils, Oxford Ceramics Gallery, 2018. Paul Rice: Brown has been very overlooked – but was one of William Staite Murray’s most interesting students. His work is rare but I have been fortunate in finding quite a few pieces. £120-£180 †

PERCY BROWN (1911-1996) A large stoneware vase with cobalt decoration on oatmeal ground, incised PB mark, made 1950/60s, height 26cm. £300-£350 †

PERCY BROWN (1911-1996) A deep stoneware vase with iron decoration on mottled grey ground, incised PB mark, made late 1930s, height 18cm. Exhibited: Masters of Studio Pottery, Part 1: William Staite Murray and his pupils, Oxford Ceramics Gallery, 2018.

£180-£220 †

47 GWILYM THOMAS (1914-1995)

A deep stoneware vase with slightly splayed foot, iron wash to interior and lower exterior, incised G mark and dated 1970, height 31cm. Provenance: The artist. Exhibited: Gwilym Thomas: a retrospective exhibition, Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea, 1997; Masters of Studio Pottery, Part 1: William Staite Murray and his pupils, Oxford Ceramics Gallery, 2018. Literature: Illustrated in Paul Rice, British Studio Ceramics (Crowood Press, 2002), p. 247. Paul Rice: Gwilym Thomas was, almost certainly, the most eccentric (and one of the best) of William Staite Murray’s students. I tried repeatedly to put on an exhibition – he always said he was very keen and then quoted astronomical prices. His family later told me that he never had an exhibition or sold any work. His output was small and he either gave away or smashed most of it. After his death, the family organized three small retrospectives – two at museums and the third at my gallery where most of the best pieces went to museums. This and the next lot are two of the four I bought. £250-£300 † 47

48 GWILYM THOMAS (1914-1995)

A porcelain ‘breast’ pot on splayed foot, incised G mark and dated 1976, height 19cm. Provenance: The artist. Exhibited: Masters of Studio Pottery, Part 1: William Staite Murray and his pupils, Oxford Ceramics Gallery, 2018. Paul Rice: Thomas’s ‘breast pots’ are especially rare. He made a few taller ones in stoneware and a very small number of these smaller porcelain ones. £300-£350 † 49 HELEN PINCOMBE (1908-2004)

A shallow stoneware footed bowl with tenmoku breaking to kaki decoration on grey/green ground, impressed HP mark, made circa 1960, diameter 23.5cm. £300-£350 † 48

Provenance: Artist’s collection.

£120-£180 † 53

A stoneware chawan with wax resist decoration on tenmoku ground, impressed HP mark, made 1960s, diameter 15cm.

Exhibited: British Studio Ceramics, Buckinghamshire County Museum, Aylesbury, 2003.

for St Augustine’s Pottery A collared stoneware vase with wax resist decoration on mottled dark green ground, impressed GW and pottery marks, height 12.5cm.

Provenance: Artist’s collection.

Provenance: Sue James collection.

Paul Rice: Though Whiting was never officially a Leach apprentice, I always felt that no potter was truer to his principles. I got this bowl from the Whiting family and, at roughly the same time, bought this Leach standard ware jug. They have been ‘married’ ever since.

for St Augustine’s Pottery A stoneware chawan with iron decoration on lustrous iron rich ground, impressed pottery mark, diameter 14.5cm. Provenance: Artist’s collection. Paul Rice: This chawan and the vase in the next lot came from the Whiting family collection. They were the star pieces from an otherwise disastrous firing – as I recall, some of the wood was salt-preserved and it produced this lustre effect with the decoration largely burnt away. Whiting really liked them but knew he would never be able to reproduce what happened. David Whiting told me he was pretty loose with marks when he had both potteries, which explains why one has the Avoncroft mark and the other St Augustine’s.

A square earthenware box (minus its cover) decorated with pigs, made circa 1972, height 9cm. Paul Rice: I got this pot (which I call ‘Topless Pigs’) from someone who studied at the RCA at the same time as Alison Britton. I showed it to Alison who was greatly embarrassed by it and asked me to destroy it. In my opinion, Alison is one of the most important potters of the last quarter of the 20th century – and while this is certainly very far from a masterpiece, it is an interesting documentary work which, I think, should be preserved. Would you destroy a student drawing by David Hockney? £100-£200 † 71

A small porcelain pot covered in white crackle glaze with lustre top, incised S mark, made early 1980s, height 8.5cm.

Paul Rice: Jane Osborn-Smith was hailed as ‘the next Liz Fritsch’ and made a small number of stunning porcelain pots. This was probably her best piece and prompted Rosenthal to commission designs from her. She emigrated to North America shortly after and concentrated on designing until her death at a fairly young age.

Paul Rice: Sara was a protégé of Ewen Henderson and, like Ewen, her pots often did not stand well. Because of criticism, she briefly experimented with making slab bases for the pots. I don’t think she was happy with that artistically and the bases almost always cracked. Not long after, she began making quite different work that didn’t stand at all.

A large altered stoneware vessel covered in black glaze with indented rim and incised lines splashed with white glaze decoration, incised DK mark, made circa 2009, height 35cm.

POH CHAP YEAP (1927-2007) A globular stoneware vase covered in tenmoku breaking to kaki glaze, painted signature, made early 1980s, height 26cm. Paul Rice: Yeap was a sensational potter. In the early 1980s he was one of the most successful potters in Britain. Liberty’s sold pots by him and by Lucie Rie – the best pieces were over £1000 and slightly higher than equivalent pots by LR. When he retired in 1985, he offered to sell me 100 pots. I was very nervous because Yeap was exceptionally difficult to deal with. I roped in a Yeap collector and agreed to buy 50 each. When I got there, I discovered that he was offering not only the remaining contents of his studio, but his personal collection. There was so much magnificent work that I ended up buying 125 pots instead of 50. Yeap has been somewhat forgotten in recent years, but I am positive that this will change – firstly because of the quality of the work and, secondly, because I think he will be one of the first Western potters that Chinese collectors will go for. £280-£320 † 91
