2022 was another record year for the company with auction sales surpassing that of the previous record in 2021.
But 2022 will be mostly remembered as the year that our founder - my father David, left us. Dad was the driving force in establishing the company in the early years and he was still typically racing around the north Wales region to help clients up until his last days. In fact, he had been to see clients in Caernarfon on the morning before he was taken to hospital for end-of-life care. He loved being an auctioneer right to the very end, there was no stopping him! The words of Dylan Thomas come to mind, as Dad did not go gentle into that good night.
It is a stranger and duller world for the Rogers Jones family, but we move forward as a family and a family business. He would not have wanted it any other way.
I know Dad would have been exceptionally pleased with the offering in this double catalogue once again. The painting section in The Welsh Sale is as strong as ever. While the ‘Selections’ auction is as eclectic and interesting as always.
There is a freedom about his later acrylic work where the reality of the subject matter is secondary to the experience of colour, and these electric colours suit our modern interiors, they illuminate the room, they have an immediate feel-good factor.
Whilst on the same subject of illuminating the room, there is also a strong section of Welsh porcelain in The Welsh Sale. The prices have taken a bit of a knock in the last couple of years, I am not sure there is a better time to start a collection. Collecting Nantgarw and Swansea porcelain brings joyous colour into the home, especially when you see it en-masse. But collectors also marvel at the history of what was the finest porcelain made at the time. Of particular importance in this section is the very fine colonial plate painted by Thomas Baxter. Rare and important and with a full documentary description on the back in Baxter’s hand.
The non-Welsh paintings in the Selections auction could not be more varied. With a consignment of interesting, third generation owned 19th and 18th Century paintings from a Carmarthenshire family home, contrasting against modern art including David Hockney examples from the Estate of Professor Ritchie Ovendale, formerly of Aberystwyth.
The centrepiece of the Ritchie Ovendale collection is Hockney’s 2016 A Bigger Book, which documents over 60 years of his work. The book is the first time that Hockney’s oeuvre been documented on such a magnificent scale.
This 498-page book surveys Hockney’s work from his teenage years, studying at Bradford School of Art, to the 1960s where Hockney became a breakthrough British artist.
The Selections auction also contains good ceramics, a fine selection of jewellery, watches and not wholly unexpectedly L S Lowry signed prints.
We sincerely hope you enjoy your catalogue. Please do come down to the saleroom for an appointment to view. It is always good to see new and familiar faces. You can also bid in the room in these two auctions as well as online on our website or on the phone.
Best Wishes
Ben Rogers JonesSpecial mentions this time go to Donald McIntyre in The Welsh Sale; there are some lovely examples from his bright acrylic period which have become increasingly difficult to prise away from owners!
McIntyre’s acrylic period came later and was influenced by the Scottish Colourists such as Francis Cadell. You will see that McIntyre’s palette became almost psychedelic with electric-shock seas, purple tinted rocks, and lucid sands, while his figures became smaller - used as a tool for scale and to humanize a landscape, rather than the main feature of the painting.
NANTGARW & SWANSEA
PORCELAIN PLATE, by Thomas Baxter £4,000-6,000
wedi mynd yn seicadelig bron, gyda moroedd fel sioc drydanol, creigiau ag arlliw porffor, a thywod gloyw, tra roedd ei ffigyrau wedi mynd yn llai, ac yn cael eu defnyddio er mwyn creu graddfa ac i ddynoli’r tirlun, yn hytrach na bod yn brif nodwedd y darlun.
Mae rhyw ryddid yn perthyn i’w waith acrylig diweddarach ble mae realiti’r testun yn llai pwysig na phrofi’r lliw, ac mae’r lliwiau trydanol hynny yn gweddu i’n hystafelloedd modern, maen nhw’n goleuo’r ystafell, maen nhw’n codi’r ysbryd ar unwaith.
A sôn am oleuo’r ystafell, mae adran gref o borslen Cymreig yn Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig hefyd. Mae’r prisiau wedi cael tipyn o ergyd yn y flwyddyn neu ddwy ddiwethaf, felly efallai mai dyma’r adeg orau i ddechrau casgliad. Mae casglu porslen Nantgarw ac Abertawe yn dod a lliw a llawenydd i’r cartref, yn enwedig o weld casgliad helaeth. Ond mae casglwyr yn rhyfeddu hefyd at hanes y porslen mwyaf cain oedd yn cael ei wneud ar y pryd. Darn nodedig yn yr adran hon ydy’r plât gwladychol hynod gain a baentiwyd gan Thomas Baxter. Mae’n ddarn prin a phwysig ac yn cynnwys disgrifiad dogfennol llawn ar y cefn yn llawysgrifen Baxter.
2022 oedd y flwyddyn orau eto i arwerthiannau’r cwmni, gan wella ymhellach ar y record a osodwyd yn 2021.
Ond yr atgof pennaf o 2022 fydd mai dyma’r flwyddyn y collon ni sylfaenydd y cwmni - fy nhad, David.
Dad oedd y grym oedd yn sail i sefydlu’r cwmni yn y blynyddoedd cynnar ac roedd yn dal wrthi’n rhuthro o un lle i’r llall yng Ngogledd Cymru i helpu cleientiaid yn ôl ei arfer hyd at ei ddyddiau olaf.
A dweud y gwir, roedd wedi bod i weld cleientiaid yng Nghaernarfon y bore cyn iddo fynd i’r ysbyty i gael gofal diwedd oes. Roedd yn ei elfen fel arwerthwr hyd at y diwedd un, doedd dim modd ei atal! Mae geiriau Dylan Thomas yn dod i’r meddwl, yn sicr wnaeth Dad ddim llithro’n dawel i’r nos.
Mae’r byd yn lle rhyfedd a mwy prudd i deulu Rogers Jones, ond awn yn ein blaenau fel teulu ac fel busnes teuluol. Dyna’r ffordd y byddai Dad am i bethau fod.
Byddai Dad wedi bod yn hapus iawn gyda’r cynigion yn y catalog dwbl hwn unwaith eto. Mae adran y paentiadau yn Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig cyn gryfed ag erioed. Ac mae’r arwerthiant ‘Dewisiadau’ mor eclectig a diddorol ag arfer.
Rhaid rhoi sylw arbennig y tro hwn i Donald McIntyre yn Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig; mae yma enghreifftiau hyfryd o’i gyfnod acrylig llachar sydd wedi dod yn fwyfwy anodd eu tynnu o afael perchnogion!
Daeth cyfnod
acrylig McIntyre yn ddiweddarach ac roedd wedi’i ddylanwadu gan y Lliwyr Albanaidd
megis Francis Cadell. Fe welwch fod palet McIntyre
Allech chi ddim cael mwy o wrthgyferbyniad rhwng y paentiadau nad ydynt yn rhai Cymreig yn yr arwerthiant Dewisiadau. Mae yma gyflenwad o baentiadau diddorol o’r 19eg Ganrif a’r 18fed Ganrif o drydedd genhedlaeth o berchnogion o gartref teuluol yn Sir Gaerfyrddin. Mae’r rhain yn gwrthgyferbynnu â chelfyddyd fodern, gan gynnwys enghreifftiau o waith David Hockney o Ystad Yr Athro Ritchie Ovendale, Aberystwyth gynt.
Canolbwynt casgliad Ritchie Ovendale ydy llyfr Hockney o 2016, A Bigger Book, sy’n cofnodi dros 60 mlynedd o’i waith. Y llyfr hwn ydy’r tro cyntaf i holl weithiau Hockney gael eu cofnodi ar raddfa aruthrol o’r fath.
Mae’r llyfr 498-tudalen hwn yn rhoi golwg ar waith Hockney o flynyddoedd ei arddegau a’i astudiaethau yn Ysgol Gelf Bradford i’r 1960au pryd gwnaeth Hockney enw iddo’i hun fel arlunydd Prydeinig.
Mae’r arwerthiant Dewisiadau hefyd yn cynnwys darnau da o serameg, detholiad gwych o emwaith ac oriorau a heb fod yn gwbl annisgwyl, printiau wedi’u harwyddo gan L S Lowry.
Gobeithio’n wir y byddwch yn mwynhau’n catalog. Cofiwch fod croeso i chi ddod draw i’r ystafell arwerthu i gael apwyntiad i weld y lotiau. Mae hi wastad yn braf cael gweld wynebau newydd a rhai cyfarwydd. Gallwch chi roi cynigion yn yr ystafell yn y ddau arwerthiant yma, yn ogystal ag ar-lein neu dros y ffôn.
Ben Rogers Jones
Lots: 608
Total: £405,080
The final Welsh Sale of 2022 capped our record year for Welsh Sales with just under £1.5m of Welsh paintings, Welsh ceramics and Welsh antiques sold across the three auctions.
We are immensely pleased to see that the interest in all things Welsh continues with aplomb and that Rogers Jones & Co remains at the forefront in bringing such items to the buying public. Here are but a few highlights from our November auction.
Important Arts & Crafts
slipware jug by revered designer Horace Elliott (1851-1938), probably from the Ewenny kilns. Sold to a determined telephone bidder against a collector bidding in the room. The jug was consigned from Kansas City, USA when the owners brought the jug over to the UK to meet Ben Rogers Jones in Bath. They remarked that they were overjoyed at the price which went a long way to paying for their British holiday!
Estimate: £700-1,000
Sold: £6,500 + Fees
Ceri Richards CBE (1903-1971), oil on canvas depiction of the artist’s sister Esther, circa 1931. Sold to an online bidder overseas against a telephone bidder. Portraits by Richards are much rarer at auction than his surreal subjects and a stand-alone portrait such as this example remains an infrequent sight in the saleroom. The highest price achieved previously was the £12,000 for a portrait of his wife Frances that sold at Christie’s in 2006.
Estimate: £5,000-7,000
Sold: £14,000 + Fees
An auction record was achieved in the November Welsh Sale for Anglesey-born artist Tom Gerrard (1923-76). While the artist is still relatively little known beyond north Wales, he appears to have been receiving more recognition in the last two or three years.
Gerrard was a good friend of Sir Kyffin Williams who was clearly a strong influence on his style and approach. Indeed, Sir Kyffin is known to have bought some of Gerrard’s paintings.
The 20in x 2ft 11in (51 x 88cm) signed oil on board depicted a mountainside hamlet in Snowdonia with slate fences featuring prominently in the foreground. The painting drew a two-battle on the internet.
Estimate: £500-700
Sold: £3,600 + Fees
One of the surprises of the November auction was the Edgar Holloway (1914-2008) signed etching, titled Self Portrait No. 25: Goodbye to all that!
The image was based on a drawing made by the artist in 1947. Showing the artist looking over his shoulder, the picture and its title had strong allusions to Robert Graves’ autobiography Good-Bye to All That with its themes of saying farewell to both war and his youth.
Before this sale, the highest price for a copy of Self Portrait No. 25 was just £240 at an auction in England.
Estimate: £200-300
Sold: £2,600 + Fees
A rare Nantgarw porcelain teapot and stand which also saw a protracted bidding battle with a private collector winning via our live bidding system.
Estimate: £3,000-5,000
Sold: £4,200 + Fees
Eitemau: 608
Cyfanswm: £405,080
Roedd Arwerthiant Cymreig olaf 2022 yn goron ar ein blwyddyn orau erioed o Arwerthiannau Cymreig gyda bron i £1.5m o baentiadau Cymreig, serameg Cymreig a hen bethau Cymreig wedi’u gwerthu dros y tri arwerthiant.
Rydyn ni’n hynod falch bod y diddordeb mewn pethau Cymreig o bob math yn parhau’n gryf a bod Rogers Jones & Co yn dal ar flaen y gad o safbwynt dod ag eitemau o’r fath i afael prynwyr cyhoeddus.
Dyma ychydig o uchafbwyntiau ein harwerthiant ym mis Tachwedd. Jwg crochenwaith slip Celf a Chrefft pwysig gan y dylunydd mawr ei barch Horace Elliott (1851-1938), fwy na thebyg o odynau Ewenni. Cafodd ei werthu i gynigydd penderfynol ar y ffôn oedd yn cystadlu
â chasglwr oedd yn rhoi cynigion yn yr ystafell. Cafodd y jwg ei gludo o Kansas City yn yr Unol Daleithiau pan ddaeth y perchnogion
â’r jwg drosodd i’r Deyrnas Unedig i gwrdd â Ben Rogers Jones yng Nghaerfaddon. Dywedon nhw eu bod wrth eu boddau â’r pris a dalodd am gyfran helaeth o’u gwyliau ym Mhrydain!
Amcangyfrif: £700-1,000
Gwerthwyd: £6,500 + Fees
Portread olew ar gynfas Ceri Richards CBE (1903-1971), o chwaer yr arlunydd, Esther, tua 1931. Gwerthwyd i gynigydd tramor ar-lein fu’n cystadlu yn erbyn cynigydd ar y ffôn. Mae portreadau gan Richards yn llawer mwy prin mewn arwerthiannau na’i destunau swreal ac anaml iawn y gwelir portread unigol fel yr enghraifft hon yn yr ystafell arwerthu. Y pris uchaf a gafwyd cyn hyn oedd £12,000 am bortread o’i wraig, Frances a werthwyd yn Christie’s yn 2006.
Amcangyfrif: £5,000-7,000
Gwerthwyd: £14,000 + Fees
Torrwyd record pris mewn arwerthiant yn Arwerthiant Cymreig mis Tachwedd ar gyfer yr arlunydd a aned ym Môn, Tom Gerrard (1923-76). Er nad yw’r arlunydd yn adnabyddus iawn eto y tu hwnt i ogledd Cymru, mae fel petai mwy o bobl wedi dod i wybod amdano dros y ddwy neu dair blynedd diwethaf.
Roedd Gerrard yn gyfaill da i Syr Kyffin Williams a oedd yn amlwg yn ddylanwad mawr ar ei arddull. Gwyddom yn wir fod Syr Kyffin wedi prynu rhai o baentiadau Gerrard.
Roedd y paentiad olew ar fwrdd 20 modfedd x 2 droedfedd 11 modfedd (51 x 88cm) wedi’i arwyddo yn darlunio pentrefan mynyddig yn Eryri gyda ffensys llechi yn nodweddion amlwg yn y blaendir. Ysgogodd y darlun frwydr rhwng dau ar y we.
Amcangyfrif: £500-700
Gwerthwyd: £3,600 + Fees
Un o’r darnau a greodd syndod yn arwerthiant mis Tachwedd oedd yr ysgythriad wedi’i arwyddo gan Edgar Holloway (1914-2008) o’r enw Self Portrait No. 25: Goodbye to all that!
Roedd y ddelwedd yn seiliedig ar ddarlun a wnaed gan yr arlunydd yn 1947.
Mae’r llun, sy’n dangos yr artist yn edrych dros ei ysgwydd, a’i deitl yn cyfeirio’n amlwg at hunangofiant Robert Graves, Good-Bye to All That a’r themâu ynglŷn â ffarwelio â rhyfel ac â’i ieuenctid sydd ynddo.
Cyn yr arwerthiant hwn, dim ond £240 oedd y pris uchaf a gafwyd am gopi o Self Portrait No. 25, a hynny mewn arwerthiant yn Lloegr.
Amcangyfrif: £200-300
Gwerthwyd: £2,600 + Fees
Tebot porslen Nantgarw prin a stand a ddenodd frwydr hir hefyd, gyda chasglwr preifat yn ennill drwy ein system rhoi cynigion byw.
Amcangyfrif: £3,000-5,000
Gwerthwyd: £4,200 + Fees
19 November 2022
Lots: 123
Total: £145,270
It proved to be a most memorable final Selections & Collections auction of the year with 89% of lots finding new homes and with several pleasant surprises for vendors.
We will also remember the auction for the intriguing curios that were consigned as part of The St John Perrott Stimson Collection of Treen & British Folk Art. All 44 lots in the collection sold, generating a sales total of just over £10,000. The highest price in the collection was for a collection of treen toys.
At just 9.2cms high, one of the smallest items in the November Selections auction was the Tiffany Aesthetic movement silver-gilt pepperette. It was engraved with the presentation inscription Given by TRH Prince & Princess of Wales, Xmas 1879
Lot number 641 in the November auction was this silverplated toast rack designed by Dr Christopher Dresser. It was consigned to sale from a private client in north Wales who, incredibly, was still using it to bring the toast to the table at breakfast until it popped up for auction. Dr Dresser is often regarded as the father of industrial design who created useable objects with radical designs while embracing the use of the latest mass production techniques of the period. His toast racks are especially sought after.
Estimate: £400-600
Sold: £2,200 + Fees
TIFFANY AESTHETIC ART
MOVEMENT silver-gilt pepperette
Estimate: £1,800-2,500
Sold: £8,000 + Fees
Research at the Tiffany Archive in 2021 found the original order for this piece in the Silver Manufacturing Ledger. Priced at $10 for making and $14 for etching, it was commissioned by the Prince of Wales. Our clients in north Wales had no idea how it came to be in the family collection. We cannot disclose who the winning bidder was, but we can say that we were delighted at its destination.
Black Forest carvings are not from the Bavarian Schwarzwald in the Rhine valley but originate in the Swiss Bernese Highland village of Brienz. They are fiercely coveted items and there was no surprise to see this charming fellow hotly contested in the November auction.
Estimate: £1,500-2,500
Sold: £5,500 + Fees
The November Selections & Collections auction was also very sculptural
Sold: £3,400 + Fees

Cyfanswm: £145,270
Roedd arwerthiant Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau olaf y flwyddyn yn un gwirioneddol gofiadwy gydag 89% o’r lotiau yn cael cartrefi newydd a nifer o’r gwerthwyr yn cael eu synnu a’u plesio.
Byddwn yn cofio hefyd am y creiriau hynod a gyflwynwyd yn yr
arwerthiant fel rhan o Gasgliad St John Perrott Stimson o Gerfiadau
Pren a Chelfyddyd Werin Brydeinig. Gwerthodd pob un o 44 lot y casgliad, gan ddenu ychydig dros £10,000. Daeth pris uchaf y casgliad am gasgliad o deganau wedi’u cerfio.
Un o’r eitemau lleiaf yn arwerthiant Dewisiadau mis Tachwedd oedd y pot pupur arian â goreurad yn arddull mudiad Tiffany Aesthetic. Roedd wedi’i ysgythru â’r arysgrif Given by TRH Prince & Princess of Wales, Xmas 1879.
Canfu ymchwil a gynhaliwyd yn 2021 yn Archif Tiffany yr archeb wreiddiol ar gyfer y darn hwn yn y Silver Manufacturing Ledger
Gyda phris o $10 am ei gynhyrchu a $14 am ysgythru, cafodd ei gomisiynu gan Dywysog Cymru. Nid oedd gan ein cleientiaid yng Ngogledd Cymru unrhyw syniad sut y daeth yn rhan o gasgliad y teulu. Allwn ni ddim datgelu pwy oedd y cynigydd buddugol, ond mi allwn ni ddweud ein bod wrth ein boddau o gael gwybod i ble yr aeth.
Amcangyfrif: £1,800-2,500
Gwerthwyd: £8,000 + Fees
Nid o’r Schwarzwald Bafaraidd yn nyffryn Rhein y daw cerfiadau’r Goedwig Ddu, ond yn hytrach o bentref Brienz yn Ucheldir Berne yn y Swistir. Maen nhw’n eitemau hynod boblogaidd a doedd dim syndod bod y gŵr hynaws hwn yn destun cystadlu brwd yn arwerthiant mis Tachwedd.

Gwerthwyd: £1,500 + Fees
Lot rhif 641 yn arwerthiant mis Tachwedd oedd y rhesel dost hon â phlât arian a gynlluniwyd gan Dr Christopher Dresser. Cafodd ei chyflwyno i’w gwerthu gan gleient preifat yng Ngogledd Cymru a oedd, credwch neu beidio, yn dal i’w defnyddio i ddod â thost i’r bwrdd brecwast hyd yn ddiweddar. Yn aml iawn, ystyrir mai Dr Dresser yw tad dylunio diwydiannol a greodd wrthrychau yr oedd modd eu defnyddio gyda dyluniadau radical tra roedd yn gwneud defnydd o dechnegau masgynhyrchu diweddaraf y cyfnod. Mae ei reseli tost yn arbennig o boblogaidd.

The end of the most successful year in our 30-year history was overshadowed by the loss of David Rogers Jones.
The Rogers Jones family and team would like to say a sincere thank you for the many kind messages which were sent to us at such a difficult time.
auctioneers who have conducted as many auctions and sold as many lots as he had. Certainly, it seems likely that no-one in Wales will ever come close.
Bidders will remember David for his amusing auctioneering, there were no gimmicks – none of the fancy waistcoats, dramatic hand gestures or catchphrases that might be witnessed at some metropolitan auction houses, but he added warmth to his auctions through gentle and very Welsh humour. There was always fun and camaraderie to be had with the bidders. This in turn helped bidders feel at ease and enabled him to generate a fabulous rapport with customers.
David would not have been the man for a fancy London auction-house but he was the man for auctioneering in Wales to the Welsh public. He had great affinity with this audience. It seemed like the role was made for him and he for the role.
Above all, David loved being out and ‘doing his calls’. He enjoyed meeting people and getting to know every backroad, housing estate and small community in north Wales. He always had the perfect tone, clients would immediately warm to him as a person knowing that he wanted the best for them.
David Rogers Jones, the joint founder of Rogers Jones & Co, succumbed to cancer on December 11th.
David and wife Margaret started Rogers Jones & Co in 1992, when they made great sacrifices and worked long hours to create a busy auction room in Colwyn Bay town centre, initially living above the saleroom, in a flat which doubled up as their office space.
They often remarked how immensely grateful they were for the support from local solicitors and clients who entrusted the company with instructions from the very beginning. These instructions helped the business gain momentum and set foundations for its future progress. In recent years, David was exceptionally proud of the company’s development, its successes and the scale and stature that we have been able to attain.
David will be remembered as a supreme auctioneer who loved his job. The first auction he conducted was in the Drill Hall, Menai Bridge in 1962, and his last auction was only four or so years ago. There can be very few
David’s final valuation appointment was on Monday, December 5th, 2022. He was by then very weak and weary but despite our concerns he insisted that he wanted to conduct a probate valuation in Caernarfonwhich he duly did, but this time with Margaret as chauffeur. Only a few hours later, he was taken to hospital for what, it transpired, would be for end-of-life treatment. We have since listened to his final dictated valuation which was a lucid and thorough assessment of a house contents for the purpose of probate. He remained the professional to the very end.
David was incredibly proud that 30 years on from its humble beginnings, the Rogers Jones company is still a family business with family values at its core, and that colleagues within the company appear to be happy in their work and remain for long durations. We can assure our clients that Rogers Jones & Company will remain an extension of the Rogers Jones family, and that the family values on which the company were built are secured for the future.
Taflwyd cysgod dros y flwyddyn fwyaf llwyddiannus yn ein 30 mlynedd o hanes gyda cholli David Rogers Jones.
Hoffai teulu a thîm Rogers Jones ddiolch yn ddiffuant am y llu o negeseuon caredig a anfonwyd atom ar adeg mor anodd.
Collodd David Rogers Jones, cydsylfaenydd Roger Jones & Co, ei frwydr â chanser ar Ragfyr 11eg.
Dechreuodd David a’i wraig Margaret Rogers Jones & Co yn 1992, gan aberthu llawer a gweithio oriau hir i greu ystafell arwerthu brysur yng nghanol tref Bae Colwyn. Ar y dechrau, buon nhw’n byw uwchben yr ystafell arwerthu, mewn fflat a oedd hefyd yn swyddfa iddyn nhw.
Roedden nhw’n sôn yn aml eu bod yn andros o ddiolchgar am y gefnogaeth gawson nhw gan gyfreithwyr a chleientiaid lleol a wnaeth ymddiried yn y cwmni i weithredu ar eu rhan o’r dechrau un. Roedd y gwaith hwnnw wedi helpu’r busnes i godi stêm ac wedi gosod y sylfeini ar gyfer ei gynnydd yn y dyfodol.
Yn y blynyddoedd diweddaraf, roedd David yn eithriadol o falch o ddatblygiad y cwmni, ei lwyddiannau a’r raddfa a’r statws rydyn ni wedi llwyddo i’w cyrraedd.
Bydd David yn cael ei gofio fe arwerthwr o fri a oedd wrth ei fodd yn ei waith. Cynhaliodd ei arwerthiant cyntaf yn y Neuadd Filwrol ym Mhorthaethwy yn 1962, a dim ond rhyw bedair blynedd sydd ers iddo gynnal ei arwerthiant olaf. Ychydig iawn o arwerthwyr fyddai wedi cynnal cymaint o arwerthiannau a gwerthu cymaint o lotiau ag y gwnaeth ef. Yn sicr, mae’n debyg na ddaw neb yng Nghymru yn agos at hynny.
Bydd cynigwyr yn cofio dull arwerthu difyr David, doedd dim un gimic – dim o’r gwasgodau ffansi, yr ystumiau llaw dramatig na’r ymadroddion rhyfedd y gallech chi ddod ar eu traws mewn ambell i dŷ arwerthu metropolitan, ond roedd yn dod a chynhesrwydd i’w arwerthiannau drwy hiwmor cynnil a Chymreig iawn. Roedd hwyl a chyfeillach rhyngddo a’r cynigwyr bob amser. Roedd hynny wedyn yn helpu’r cynigwyr i deimlo’n gysurus ac yn ei alluogi i ffurfio perthynas hyfryd â’i gwsmeriaid.
Nid David fyddai’r dyn ar gyfer tŷ arwerthu uchel-ael yn Llundain ond fo oedd y dyn ar gyfer arwerthu yng
Nghymru i bobl Cymru. Roedd ganddo berthynas wych â’i gynulleidfa. Roed fel petai’r rôl wedi’i chreu ar ei gyfer ac yntau wedi’i greu ar gyfer y rôl.
Yn fwy na dim, roedd David yn ei elfen yn mynd allan i ‘wneud ei alwadau’. Roedd yn mwynhau cwrdd â phobl a dod i adnabod pob lôn gefn, stad dai a chymuned fach yng Ngogledd Cymru. Roedd yn gosod y cywair perffaith bob tro a byddai’r cleientiaid yn cynhesu at ei gymeriad ar unwaith gan wybod ei fod y dymuno’r gorau ar eu rhan.
Roedd apwyntiad prisio olaf David ar ddydd Llun, Rhagfyr 5ed, 2022. Erbyn hynny, roedd yn wan a llesg ond er gwaethaf ein pryderon, mynnodd ei fod am gynnal prisiad ewyllys yng Nghaernarfon - ac fe wnaeth hynny, ond y tro hwn, gyda Margaret yn gyrru. Ychydig oriau’n unig yn ddiweddarach, aeth i mewn i’r ysbyty ar gyfer yr hyn a ddaeth yn driniaeth diwedd oes iddo.
Ers hynny, rydyn ni wedi gwrando ar y prisiad olaf yr oedd wedi ei arddweud ac roedd hwnnw’n asesiad eglur a thrylwyr o gynnwys tŷ at ddibenion ewyllys. Bu’n broffesiynol hyd at y diwedd un.
Roedd David yn hynod falch fod cwmni Rogers Jones, 30 mlynedd wedi’r camau bychain cyntaf, yn dal yn fusnes teuluol wedi’i wreiddio mewn gwerthoedd teuluol, a bod cydweithwyr yn y cwmni i’w gweld yn hapus yn eu gwaith ac yn aros am gyfnodau hir. Gallwn roi sicrwydd i’n cleientiaid y bydd Rogers Jones & Co yn parhau’n estyniad o deulu Rogers Jones, a bod y gwerthoedd teuluol a fu’n sail i’r cwmni wedi’u sicrhau ar gyfer y dyfodol.

Provenance: directly from the family of preeminent collector Sir Leslie Joseph, bears his label, typed Colonial history attached to base, new to market, illustration 96 ‘Thomas Baxter, The Swansea Years 1816-1819’ by John O Wilstead and Bernard Morris, Gomer Press 1997
Auctioneer’s Note: Thomas Baxter was the only ceramic artist of his time to have been trained at the Royal Academy of Art. He was acknowledged as one of the most accomplished porcelain decorators of the period. The scene is after Plate 6 from Thomas Daniell’s Views of Calcutta’ and represents the ghat (steps) descending from the old Fort William to the River Hooghly. Built at the turn of the eighteenth century, the fort had been attacked in 1757 by the Nawab of Bengal, then repurposed into warehouses, offices and Custom House for the East India Company. Indians bathing in the river demonstrate how locals used the site. In 1784 Thomas Daniel obtained permission from the East India Company to travel to India to work as an engraver, assisted by his nephew William. The pair reached Calcutta in 1786 and soon began to issue the first topographical prints of the colonial capital. Twelve etched and aquatinted ‘Views of Calcutta’ were completed by 1788, printed and hand-coloured by Indian assistants. The images proved immensely popular in India and Europe, and helped to launch a vogue for Indian ornament and design in Britain. The title relates to the horrifying ‘Black Hole of Calcutta’, in which British troops, commanded by John Zephaniah Holwell were captured in 1756 by the Newab of Bengal, Siraj ud-Daulah.
The captured British soldiers and civilians were rounded up and forced into the ‘black hole’, a tiny enclosure measuring 5.4 metres by 4.2 metres and originally intended for petty criminals.
With temperatures hitting around 40 degrees and in intensely humid air, the prisoners were then locked up for the night. According to Holwell’s account, the next few hours saw over a hundred people die through a mixture of suffocation and trampling. Those that begged for the mercy of their captors were met with jeers and laughter, and by the time the cell doors were opened at 6am there was a mound of dead bodies. Only 23 people had survived.

Auctioneer’s Note: John Edwards (1929-2022) was born in Swansea, attended Llanelli School of Art and Swansea Art School specialising in stained-glass design under Howard Martin, after which he worked at Celtic Studios, Swansea. Established in 1948, Celtic Studios led by Howard Martin and Hubert Thomas, was the first firm producing stained glass in Wales in any quantity. They worked in the tradition of the Arts & Crafts movement, and brought a degree of originality to their design. Their work in the late 1950s and 60s demonstrated a willingness to embrace a more modern aesthetic with full-coloured windows. Through Celtic Studios, John Edwards earned stained glass commissions from churches across South Wales and Canada, From 1978, Edwards taught Stained Glass Art at the Swansea Institute of Higher Education Condition Report: unframed, in good condition

RARE 16TH CENTURY LIMOGES GRISAILLE & GILT ENAMEL BOWL ‘ADAM AND EVE EATING THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT ’, c.1550-80, with painted scene after a print by Étienne Delaune, Adam seated eating an apple as Eve talks with the anthropomorphised serpent, animals around, faint gilt shadows of trees beyond, with scrolling gilt border, underside with white and gilt trailing amorini-headed and serpent-headed swags, formerly with foot, unsigned (6h x 19cms diam.)
Provenance: from the estate of Henry Lane Eno (1871-1928), thence by descent
Auctioneer’s Note: The central scene is a mirror-image section after a print by Etienne Delaune (French, c.1518-1583) (Cf. Baltimore Museum of Art with a print by Stefano Scolari (Italian, 1640-1691) after Delaune Object Number 1946.112.1072). The Limoges artist has shifted elements slightly but retained the essential composition and details such as the sleeping dog and feeding squirrel. The Louvre holds in its collection a plate attributed to Jean Miette entitled “Le Péché d’Adam et Eve” that draws upon the same artistic inspiration. The handling of the details and anatomy are slightly different from this example but it shares the artist’s willingness to incorporate animals of all types, a feature also seen on another work attributed to Miette, “The Creation of Adam” on a plate in the British Museum. See also the Fitzwilliam Museum’s cup and cover depicting the creation of Adam by Jean Court (Vigier) (Accession Number: M.31 & A-1933). The stylistic depiction of the foliage to the tree and ground, and the detailing of animals suggest a kinship with the artist responsible for this bowl

Background formerly with gild detailed trees, rocks and water now rubbed but faintly visible in cross light. Some wear and cracking to enamel notably around her navel.

ensure you have read our viewing and bidding terms for these two auctions on Page 157.
About: we phone you a few minutes prior to the lot you have booked a phone line on. Our operator will communicate the price and ask whether you want to bid.
About: commission bids are when you leave us your highest price to bid on your behalf. We will bid up to your price(s) and you will win items if another bidder drops out before your maximum price. If there is no other bidder then you may win the item at the bottom estimate / reserve.
Commission bids must be received by 4pm the day before the auction. We are not answering the phones on auction day!
How: this can be done on our website by clicking on the lot(s) you are interested in and then clicking ‘REGISTER / LOG IN TO BID’.
Or you can complete a copy of the bidding form at the back of this catalogue and send a clear image of the form to us by email.
Tips: there is little point in bidding below the bottom of the auction estimate and enter as high as you can so as not to regret missing out. It is always a good chance you may win the item at a smaller price.
How: as with ‘Commission Bids’ a form be completed and returned to us BUT by 1pm the day before the auction. Forms can be emailed, posted or are at the back of this publication. Telephone lines are limited so are on a first come first served basis.
Tips: calculate or ask us at approximately what time you are likely to receive a call from us and ensure you are available on the line with a good signal, you can leave a back-up line on the form in case of any problems. It is better to have a good sense of what prices you are likely to go up to before-hand as there may be no time for indecisions!

These conditions of business for auctions held at our premises consist of:
(1) Information for Buyers;
(2) Terms of Sale (for bidders and buyers).
(1)
1. Introduction. The following notes are intended to assist bidders and buyers, particularly those that are inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All of our auctions are governed by our Conditions of Business incorporating the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers), the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the auctioneer at the auction. Our Conditions of Business are available for inspection at our salerooms and the Terms of Sale are printed in the back of our auction catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Conditions of Business that you do not fully understand.
Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale set out in this catalogue or on our website carefully before bidding in the auction. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale.
2. Methods of Payment. Lots must be paid for before they are collected. For those attending the auction we ask that lots are paid for on the day of the sale. Methods by which we accept payment are detailed on our web site, including online payment upon receipt of your invoice, and these should be paid by 5pm within five working days following the sale. We accept cash to an upper limit of 1,000 euros equivalent. We do not accept credit card payments. We are unable to accept debit-card payments when the card holder is not present. Cheques will need to be cleared before you can take the goods away.
3. Collection and storage. All lots should be paid for and collected by 5pm within five working days following the auctions in this catalogue. Absentee bidders should check the success of their bids and arrange payment and collection within this time. Please note the Terms of Sale concerning collection and storage. Items not removed in the timescale stated will be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 as an administration fee and £5 per lot per day may be charged (plus VAT).
4. Dispatch. We do not offer postage for lots sold at auction in this catalogue unless they can be packed within a Jiffy-bag. We can recommend agents who can undertake packing and postage.
5. Agency. As auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your contract for the goods is with the seller, not with us as auctioneer.
6. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale price. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price (the minimum price for which a lot may be sold) and will not be below the reserve price. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the auctioneer before the auction of the lot. They are not definitive.
7. Buyer’s Premium for both The Welsh Sale and Selections & Collections: The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay 24% + VAT (28.8%) on all lots up to a hammer price of £19,999, 15% + VAT (18%) on all lots of a hammer price of £20,000 and over on each purchased lot in the auctions contained within
this catalogue. In addition, VAT is charged on the premium (see below).
8. VAT. VAT is payable by the buyer on the buyer’s premium at either the standard rate depending upon the legal requirements relating to that lot.
9. Artist’s Resale Right/Droit De Suite. EU & UK law states that the artist or artist’s estate are entitled to a royalty known as ‘artist’s resale right’ when any lot created by the artist is sold. We identify these lots with a ‡ symbol. If these laws apply to a lot, you must pay us an extra amount equal to the royalty. We will then pay the royalty to the appropriate authority on the seller’s behalf. The royalty applies if the hammer price of the lot is 1,000 euros (British Sterling equivalent) or more. The total royalty for any lot can not be more than 12,500 euros. The percentages are as follows: 4% up to 50,000 / 3% between 50,001 and 20,000.
Please enquire for the accepted exchange rate on the day of the sale.
Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows:
4% Up to €50,000
3% €50,000.01 - 200,000
1% €200,000.01 - 350,000
0.5% €350,000.01 - 500,000
0.25% In excess of €500,000
Up to a maximum levy of €10,000
10. Inspection of goods by the buyer. As we act on behalf of the seller, we are dependent on information provided by the seller about their goods. We may inspect lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of lots to check their condition in the way a buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the goods. You must inspect and investigate lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots set out in the Terms of Sale on our website and www.the-saleroom.com
11. Condition Reports. We may be able to assist buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending buyers are strongly encouraged to view. Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale. In many cases condition reports are stated in the catalogue description but this does not act as a guarantee that the report is factually correct and it must not be taken as guaranteed that items without condition reports stated in the description are free from issues, such as damage, restoration or other problems.
12. Electrical goods. These are sold as “objects” only. If you buy electrical goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them.
13. Export of goods. If you intend to export goods you must find out:
1. whether an export licence is needed; and
2. if there is a prohibition on importing goods of that character e.g. because the goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory.
14. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register with us before the auction starts. We reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value lots this deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You will need to provide us with proof of your identity in
a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding. Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion.
15. Absentee bidding. You may leave absentee bids with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a lot (excluding the buyers’ premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute absentee bids as economically as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical absentee bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained). We recommend leaving absentee bids online via our website. All absentee bids should be received at least 30 minutes before the auction commences; we cannot guarantee to execute absentee bids received after this time.
16. Telephone Bidding. If you are unable to come to the auction it may be possible to bid on the telephone for some lots at our discretion. The number of lines is limited so we would urge serious telephone bidding only and ask that you be prepared to bid over estimate. It is advisable to leave a maximum covering bid in case we are not able to contact you by telephone. All lines must be booked and confirmed in writing before the day of the auction and preferably some time in advance. Telephone bidding involves many variables and whilst we take every care to ensure the smooth operation of this service, we cannot be held liable if your bids are missed for any reason.
17. Online Bidding. Any lots purchased via a live online bidding service will be subject to an additional commission charge on the hammer price payable by the bidder, in accordance with rates specified by the online service. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 5% plus VAT. The charges will be payable to us on top of the hammer price and the buyer’s premium.
Both the sale of goods at our auctions and your relationship with us are governed by the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers) the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices displayed in the saleroom or announced by us at the auction (collectively, the “Conditions of Business”). The Terms of Consignment and Terms of Sale are available at our saleroom on request.
Please read these Terms of Sale carefully. Please note that if you register to bid and/or bid at auction this signifies that you agree to and will comply with these Terms of Sale.

3.2 We strongly recommend that you attend the auction in person. You are responsible for your decision to bid for a particular Lot. If you bid on a Lot, including by telephone and online bidding, or by placing a commission bid, we assume that
you have carefully inspected the Lot and satisfied yourself regarding its condition.
3.3 If you instruct us in writing, we may execute absentee bids on your behalf. Neither we nor our employees or agents will be responsible for any failure to execute your absentee bid, unless our failure to do so is unreasonable. Where two or more absentee bids at the same level are recorded we have the right to prefer the first bid made (where this can be reasonably ascertained).
3.4 The Bidder placing the highest bid for a Lot accepted by the Auctioneer will be the Buyer at the Hammer Price. Any dispute about a bid will be settled at our discretion. We may reoffer the Lot during the auction or may settle the dispute in another way. We will act reasonably when deciding how to settle the dispute.
3.5 Bidders will be deemed to act as principals, even if the Bidder is acting as an agent for a third party.
3.6 We may bid on Lots on behalf of the Seller up to one bid below the Reserve.
3.7 We may refuse to accept any bid if it is reasonable for us to do so.
3.8 Bidding increments will be at our sole discretion (but will be in line with standard auction practice).

1. the Hammer Price;
2. a premium of 24% plus VAT on all lots up to a Hammer Price of £19,999, and 16% plus VAT on all lots of a hammer price £20,000 and over;
3. any artist’s resale right royalty payable on the sale of the Lot; and
4. any VAT due.
5. VAT

5.2 We will charge VAT at the current rate at the date of the auction.
6. The contract between you and the Seller
6.1 The contract for the purchase of the Lot between you and the Seller will be formed when the hammer falls accepting the highest bid for the Lot at the auction.
6.2 You may directly enforce any terms in the Terms of Consignment against a Seller to the extent that you suffer damages and/or loss as a result of the Seller’s breach of the Terms of Consignment.
6.3 If you breach these Terms of Sale, you may be responsible for damages and/or losses suffered by a Seller or us. If we are contacted by a Seller who wishes to bring a claim against you, we may in our discretion provide the Seller with information or assistance in relation to that claim.

7.2 If you owe us any money, we may use any payment made by you to repay these debts.
8. Title and collection of purchases
8.1 Once you have paid us in full the Total Amount Due for any Lot, ownership of that Lot will transfer to you. You may not claim or collect a Lot until you have paid for it.
8.2 You will (at your own expense) collect any Lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than 7 days following the auction.
8.3 If you do not collect the Lot within this time period, you will be responsible for any reasonable removal and storage charges in relation to that Lot.
8.4 Risk of loss or damage to the Lot will pass to you when you (or your agents) take physical possession of the Lot.
8.5 If you do not collect the Lot that you have paid for within thirty days after the auction, we may sell the Lot. We will pay the proceeds of any such sale to you, but will deduct any storage charges or other sums that we have incurred in the storage and sale of the Lot. We reserve the right to charge you a selling commission at our standard rates on any such resale of the Lot.
9. Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases
9.1 Please do not bid on a Lot if you do not intend to buy it. If your bid is successful, these Terms of Sale will apply to you.

9.1.1 take action against you for damages for breach of contract;
9.1.2 reverse the sale of the Lot to you and/or any other Lots sold by us to you;
9.1.3 resell the Lot by auction or private treaty (in which case you will have to pay any difference between the price you should have paid for the Lot and the price we sell it for as well as the charges outlined in Clause 8.5). Please note that if we sell the Lot for a higher amount than your winning bid, the extra money will belong to the Seller;
9.1.4 remove, store and insure the Lot at your expense;
9.1.5 if you do not pay us within five business days of your successful bid, we may charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month on the total amount due;
9.1.6 keep that Lot or any other Lot sold to you until you pay the Total Amount Due;
9.1.7 reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or impose conditions before we accept bids from you; and/or
9.1.8 if we sell any Lots for you, use the money made on these Lots to repay any amount you owe us.
9.2 We will act reasonably when exercising our rights under Clause 9.1. We will contact you before exercising these rights and try to work with you to correct any non-compliance by you with these Terms of Sale.
10. Health and safety
Although we take reasonable precautions regarding health and safety, you are on our premises at your own risk. Please note the lay-out of the premises and security arrangements. Neither we nor our employees or agents are responsible for the safety of you or your property when you visit our premises, unless you suffer any injury to your person or damage to your property as a result of our, our employees’ or our agents’ negligence.
11. Warranties
11.1 The Seller warrants to us and to you that:
11.1.1 the Seller is the true owner of the Lot for sale or is authorised by the true owner to offer and sell the lot at auction;
11.1.2 the Seller is able to transfer good and marketable title to the Lot to you free from any third party rights or claims; and
11.1.3 as far as the Seller is aware, the main characteristics of the Lot set out in the auction catalogue (as amended by any notice displayed in the saleroom or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction) are correct.
11.2 If, after you have placed a successful bid and paid for a Lot, any of the warranties above are found not to be true, please notify us in writing. Neither we nor the Seller will be liable to pay you any sums over and above the Total Amount Due and we will not be responsible for any inaccuracies in the information provided by the Seller except as set out below.
11.3 Please note that many of the Lots that you may bid on at our auction are second-hand.
11.4 If a Lot is not second-hand and you purchase the Lot as a Consumer from a Seller that is a Trader, a number of additional terms may be implied by law in addition to the Seller’s warranties set out at Clause 11.1 (in particular under the Consumer Rights Act 2015). These Terms of Sale do not seek to exclude your rights under law as they relate to the sale of these Lots.
11.5 Save as expressly set out above, all other warranties, conditions or other terms which might have effect between the Seller and you, or us and you, or be implied or incorporated by statue, common law or otherwise are excluded.
12. Descriptions and condition
12.1 Our descriptions of the Lot will be based on: (a) information provided to us by the Seller of the Lot (for which we are not liable); and (ii) our opinion (although it is likely that we will not be able to carry out a detailed inspection of each Lot).
12.2 We will give you a number of opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot.
12.3 Representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion will be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.
12.4 Please note that Lots (in particular second-hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition. Lots are sold “as is” (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of second-hand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/ or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed.
13.1 You may return any Lot which is found to be a Deliberate Forgery to us within 21 days of the auction provided that you return the Lot to us in the same condition as when it was released to you, accompanied by a written statement identifying the Lot from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects.
13.2 If we are reasonably satisfied that the Lot is a Deliberate Forgery we will refund the money paid by you for the Lot (including any Premium and applicable VAT) provided that if:
13.2.1 the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of experts as at the date of the auction; or
13.2.2 you personally are not able to transfer good and marketable title in the Lot to us, you will have no right to a refund under this Clause 13.2.
13.3 If you have sold the Lot to another person, we will only be liable to refund the price that you paid for the Lot. We will not be responsible for repaying any additional money you may have made from selling the Lot.
13.4 Your right to return a Lot that is a Deliberate Forgery does not affect your legal rights and is in addition to any other right or remedy provided by law or by these Terms of Sale.
14. Our liability to you
14.1 We will not be liable for any loss of opportunity or disappointment suffered as a result of participating in our auction.
14.2 In addition to the above, neither we nor the Seller shall be responsible to you and you shall not be responsible to the Seller or us for any other loss or damage that any of us suffer that is not a foreseeable result of any of us not complying with the Conditions of Business. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen or if at the time of the sale of the Lot, we, you and the Seller knew it might happen.
14.3 Subject to Clause 14.4, if we are found to be liable to you for any reason (including, amongst others, if we are found to be negligent, in breach of contract or to have made a misrepresentation), our liability will be limited to the total purchase price paid by you to us for any Lot.
14.4 Notwithstanding the above, nothing in these Terms of Sale shall limit our liability (or that of our employees or agents) for:
14.4.1 death or personal injury resulting from negligence (as defined in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977);
14.4.2 fraudulent misrepresentation; or
14.4.3 any liability which cannot be excluded by law.

Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale is not a waiver of that or any other right. Partial exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale will not preclude any further or other exercise of that right or any other right under these Terms of Sale. Waiver of a breach of any term of these Terms of Sale will not operate as a waiver of breach of any other term or any subsequent breach of that term.
