THE VIEW
Welcome to the third and final edition of 2021 The final Super Saturday event of the year is upon us. Again, we are excited by the variety and quality we have to offer. Despite the strange world we are currently living in, the market has overall remained very buoyant and there have been some extraordinary moments at our auction houses this year. Wales’ favourite artist Sir Kyffin Williams has played a prominent role in our auctions since my father, David Rogers Jones, first wielded his gavel on the Colwyn Bay rostrum in 1992. In July’s Welsh Sale, Kyffin’s oil painting of Rhoscolyn, Anglesey was one of four exhibition oil paintings by the palette-knife master. And it was ‘Rhoscolyn’ which made the national news as it took the ‘world record’ mantle away from ‘Fox Shoot’ which we sold in 2016. I admit to feeling quietly confident of the painting to perform as it did; the combination of chapel, village, farmer, and dog ticked all the boxes, and the market conditions in which to offer the painting were encouraging. In this November Welsh Sale we have another important selection of oil paintings by Sir Kyffin Williams, and we are again expectant of the same level of interest. Could we break the record once again? Aside from Kyffin, the November Welsh Sale has a very strong picture section with many of the nation’s favourites represented. We are also immensely pleased with the variety of Welsh ceramics in the sale. The pottery and porcelain offered consists of two prestigious and well-known collections, that have coincidentally joined up in the same auction. The two collections acting as the perfect storm for a large and intriguing bumper section of Welsh ceramics. The first of these collections is the second part of the Gwyneth & Ieuan Evans compilation of Welsh porcelain and pottery. This includes an important early Ewenny Wassail bowl and cover, dated 1823, most likely the earliest to ever come to auction. The other major contributor is The Mary Daley Collection. Mrs Daley is the daughter of the most famous Welsh porcelain collector of them all – Sir Leslie Joseph. Sir Leslie’s collection was dispersed via Sotheby’s auction house in a one-off three-day auction at Margam Park in 1992. Some items from that auction have found their way to this Welsh Sale via The Mary Daley Collection, but also from The Gwyneth & Ieuan Evans Collection, as the late Ieuan Evans was one of the buyers at the famous Sotheby’s sale. The 1992 Leslie Joseph auction was the porcelain equivalent of Llanelli beating the All Blacks in 1972, with many Welsh porcelain collectors still proudly declaring in conversation that ‘I was there’! The Welsh Sale is again followed immediately by our Selections & Collections auction. This three times per year auction is our platform for offering the cream of non-Welsh items which we discover during our many house visits and valuation days across Wales and in England. For me personally, it is reassuring to have valuers on our side with first-class specialist knowledge in jewellery, wine and whisky, watches, and Asian ceramics, which all feature in this November’s auction. As always, a big thank you to all our vendors for these two auctions. We sincerely hope that you enjoy our catalogue, and we wish you good luck in your bidding should you enter the fray. Best Wishes Ben Rogers Jones

COVID-19 STATEMENT Understandably, we have repeatedly been asked the question ‘when will your auction rooms open again for bidding in the room’? We are of course aware that other auction houses have returned to normality or near to it. But every business must do what is right for them individually as well as adhering to the guidelines. Our priorities remain three-fold; keeping our auction team and their families safe, whilst ensuring that we stand by our pledge to our vendors to achieve the best prices possible for their goods. Thirdly, our priority is to continue to deliver the best service we can to both vendors and bidders in a safe and responsible way. There has certainly been no drop-off in terms of results during the closure of our rooms to bidders. Quite the contrary as results on our website and in these pages demonstrate. Solid auction results have been assisted by our introduction of the free live bidding system now available on our own website, while appointments can be made to view all lots in every auction at both salerooms. We have further enhanced the online browsing experience with additional and improved images, together with more thorough descriptions to help buyers bid online with confidence. We appreciate that many bidders will always prefer to be ‘in the room’ and we look forward to welcoming them back at some stage for Super Saturday and other auctions. In the meantime, we will continue to do all we can to make bidding at home efficient, economical and enjoyable. The pandemic has taught many of us that there are alternative methods of working, and many clients have responded by embracing the digital technologies available for obtaining valuations, browsing of lots and for bidding. Looking further into the future, few would disagree that using online systems is to be the norm for bidding and transacting with auction houses. As a footnote, all our auctioneers at Rogers Jones have schoolchildren, and most of our children are old enough to remind us of the climate crisis. They knowledgably impress on us our responsibilities to operate in ways that lessen environmental impact. So, as a commitment to the next generation, we will continue to improve and invest in the digital experience, to benefit our clients and to reduce unnecessary travel for the benefit of all. We appreciate your continued support and understanding. If you have any questions or suggestions, we would be pleased to hear from you.

Croeso i drydydd rhifyn a rhifyn olaf 2021 Mae digwyddiad Dydd Sadwrn Mawr olaf y flwyddyn ar y trothwy. Unwaith eto, mae’r amrywiaeth a’r safon sydd gennym i’w cynnig yn peri cyffro mawr i ni. Er ein bod ni’n byw mewn byd digon rhyfedd ar hyn o bryd, mae’r farchnad yn gyffredinol wedi parhau’n fywiog iawn ac mae ambell i foment ryfeddol wedi bod yn ein tai arwerthu eleni. Mae hoff artist Cymru, Syr Kyffin Williams wedi bod â lle amlwg yn ein harwerthiannau ers i fy nhad, David Rogers Jones, gydio yn ei forthwyl am y tro cyntaf ar y llwyfan ym Mae Colwyn ym 1992. Yn Arwerthiant Cymreig mis Gorffennaf, roedd darlun olew Kyffin o Roscolyn, Ynys Môn yn un o bedwar paentiad olew ar gyfer arddangosfeydd gan feistr y gyllell balet. A ‘Rhoscolyn’ oedd yr un a gyrhaeddodd y newyddion cenedlaethol wrth iddo gipio mantell ‘record y byd’ oddi ar ‘Fox Shoot’ a werthwyd gennym yn 2016. Rwy’n cyfaddef fy mod i wedi bod yn dawel hyderus y byddai’r paentiad yn gwneud yn dda; roedd y cyfuniad o gapel, pentref, ffarmwr a chi yn ticio’r holl flychau, ac roedd cyflwr y farchnad ar gyfer cynnig y paentiad yn addawol. Yn yr Arwerthiant Cymreig hwn ym mis Tachwedd, mae gennym gasgliad pwysig arall o baentiadau gan Syr Kyffin Williams, ac rydym yn disgwyl yr un math o ddiddordeb eto. Tybed fyddwn ni’n torri’r record unwaith eto? Yn ogystal â Kyffin, mae gan Arwerthiant Cymreig mis Tachwedd adran luniau gref iawn gyda chyfraniadau gan lawer o ffefrynnau’r genedl. Rydym yn hynod falch hefyd o’r amrywiaeth o serameg Cymreig sydd yn yr arwerthiant. Mae’r crochenwaith a’r porslen fydd yn cael eu cynnig yn cynnwys dau gasgliad mawreddog ac adnabyddus sydd wedi dod at ei gilydd trwy gyd-ddigwyddiad yn yr un arwerthiant. Mae’r ddau gasgliad fel rhyw storm berffaith yn goleuo adran fawr a hynod o serameg Cymreig. Y cyntaf o’r ddau gasgliad ydy ail ran detholiad Gwyneth ac Ieuan Evans o borslen a chrochenwaith Cymreig. Mae’n cynnwys enghraifft gynnar, bwysig o lestr Gwasael Ewenny gyda chaead, yn dyddio o 1823; mae’n debyg mai dyma’r llestr Gwasael Ewenny cynharaf erioed i fod mewn arwerthiant. Daw’r cyfraniad mawr arall o Gasgliad Mary Daley. Mrs Daley ydy merch yr enwocaf o holl gasglwyr porslen Cymru – Syr Leslie Joseph. Cafodd casgliad Sir Leslie ei wasgaru trwy dŷ arwerthu Sotheby’s mewn arwerthiant arbennig dros dridiau ym Mharc Margam ym 1992. Mae rhai eitemau o’r arwerthiant hwnnw wedi canfod eu ffordd i’r Arwerthiant Cymreig hwn drwy Gasgliad Mary Daley, ond hefyd o Gasgliad Gwyneth ac Ieuan Evans, gan fod y diweddar Ieuan Evans yn un o’r prynwyr yn arwerthiant enwog Sotheby’s.
DATGANIAD COVID-19 Mae’n ddealladwy ein bod yn cael ein holi’n aml ‘pryd bydd ein hystafelloedd arwerthu yn agor eto i dderbyn cynigion yn yr ystafell’? Rydym yn ymwybodol, wrth gwrs, bod tai arwerthu eraill wedi dychwelyd at normalrwydd neu’n agos at hynny. Ond mae rhaid i bob busnes wneud yr hyn sy’n iawn iddyn nhw yn unigol. Mae ein blaenoriaethau triphlyg yn parhau: cadw ein tîm arwerthu a’u teuluoedd yn ddiogel, tra’n sicrhau y byddwn yn cadw at ein haddewid i’n gwerthwyr i sicrhau’r prisiau gorau posib am eu nwyddau. Ein trydedd blaenoriaeth ydy parhau i ddarparu’r gwasanaeth gorau y gallwn i werthwyr ac i gynigwyr mewn modd diogel a chyfrifol. Yn sicr, dydy’r canlyniadau ddim wedi dirywio tra bu ein hystafelloedd ar gau i gynigwyr. I’r gwrthwyneb, fel y dengys y canlyniadau ar ein gwefan ac ar y tudalennau hyn. Mae’r canlyniadau cadarn yn yr arwerthiannau wedi dod gyda chymorth y system rhoi cynigion byw sydd ar gael am ddim nawr ar ein gwefan, ac mae modd trefnu amser i weld yr holl lotiau ym mhob arwerthiant yn y ddwy ystafell werthu. Rydym wedi gwella’r profiad o bori ar y we gyda rhagor o luniau a rhai gwell, ynghyd â disgrifiadau mwy trylwyr i helpu prynwyr i fod yn hyderus wrth gyflwyno cynigion ar-lein. Rydym yn deall y bydd yn well gan rai cynigwyr fod ‘yn yr ystafell’ bob tro ac rydym yn edrych ymlaen at eu croesawu’n ôl rywbryd i’r Dydd Sadwrn Mawr ac arwerthiannau eraill. Yn y cyfamser, byddwn yn dal i wneud popeth y gallwn i wneud y profiad o gynnig o gartref yn effeithiol, yn economaidd ac yn bleserus.
Arwerthiant Leslie Joseph ym 1992 oedd fersiwn y byd porslen o Lanelli yn curo’r Crysau Duon ym 1972, gyda nifer o gasglwyr porslen Cymreig yn dal i ddatgan â balchder yng nghanol sgwrs, ‘Ro’n i yno’!
Mae’r pandemig wedi dysgu llawer ohonom bod yna ddulliau gwahanol o weithio, ac mae llawer o’n cleientiaid wedi ymateb drwy gofleidio’r technolegau digidol sydd ar gael ar gyfer cael prisiau, pori trwy lotiau a chyflwyno cynigion. Wrth fwrw golwg ymhellach i’r dyfodol, prin y byddai unrhyw un yn dadlau nad defnyddio systemau ar-lein fydd y norm ar gyfer cyflwyno cynigion a gwneud trafodion gyda thai arwerthu.
Unwaith eto, yn syth ar ôl yr Arwerthiant Cymreig, fe ddaw ein harwerthiant Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau. Yr arwerthiant hwn, sy’n cael ei gynnal dair gwaith y flwyddyn, ydy ein llwyfan ar gyfer cynnig y goreuon o blith yr eitemau nad ydynt yn rhai Cymreig y byddwn ni’n eu darganfod yn ystod ein holl ymweliadau â thai a dyddiau prisio ledled Cymru a Lloegr. Mae’n rhoi tawelwch meddwl i mi yn bersonol bod gennym briswyr yn ein tîm sydd â gwybodaeth arbenigol o’r radd flaenaf ym meysydd gemwaith, gwin a wisgi, oriorau, a serameg Asiaidd, sydd oll i’w gweld yn yr arwerthiant mis Tachwedd yma.
Fel troednodyn, mae gan bob un o’n harwerthwyr yn Rogers Jones blant o oed ysgol, ac mae’r rhan fwyaf o’r plant yn ddigon hen i’n hatgoffa o’r argyfwng hinsawdd. Maen nhw’n ddeallus iawn wrth ein hatgoffa o’n cyfrifoldebau i weithredu mewn ffyrdd sy’n lleihau ein heffaith ar yr amgylchedd. Felly, fel ymrwymiad i’r genhedlaeth nesaf, byddwn yn parhau i wella ac i fuddsoddi yn y profiad digidol, er budd ein cleientiaid ac er mwyn lleihau teithio diangen er lles pawb.
Fel arfer, diolch yn fawr iawn i’n holl werthwyr ar gyfer y ddau arwerthiant yma. Gobeithio’n wir y byddwch yn mwynhau ein catalog a dymunwn bob lwc i chi gyda’ch cynigion os byddwch chi’n mentro i’r ffau.
Rydym yn ddiolchgar am eich cefnogaeth a’ch dealltwriaeth barhaus. Os oes gennych unrhyw gwestiynau neu awgrymiadau, byddem yn falch iawn o glywed gennych.

REVIEW The Welsh Sale 24 July 2021 Lots: 482 Sold: 415 (86%) Total: £399,465 Welsh Antiques & Welsh Pottery & Porcelain The Welsh Sale in July commenced with a very strong section of Welsh Antiques & Welsh Pottery & Porcelain. The section began with three items of early Welsh furniture with excellent generational provenance from a farmhouse in Clynnog Fawr, Caernarfonshire. The Welsh dresser, tridarn and food-cupboard all far-exceeded their estimates to bring prices of £2000, £1600, and £2200 respectively. It was encouraging to see exciting bidding from several parties on Welsh furniture in a market which has seen tough times. (1) The ceramics section was populated by very interesting and rare objects from a West Wales estate together with the first part of The Gwyneth & Ieuan Evans Collection. Over 90% of the lots found new buyers with solid prices for porcelain and pottery. It was, however, the Ewenny slipware Wassail bowl that stole the show. The Wassail bowl was dated 1832 and inscribed to William James of Tonyrefail. In the 19th Century, these unusual and rare bowls were filled with spiced ale, and at New Year, villagers would visit their neighbours to wish happiness, health, and well-being. The ritual was closely associated with The Mari Lwyd ritual, where a horse’s skull was fixed to a ribbon-decorated pole and promenaded around the well-wishers. The William James inscription referred to the donor of the bowl. The historic bowl underwent a spicy two-way battle with two bidders battling it out on the phone and the internet. Bidding began at the estimate of £3,000-5,000 reaching a final price of £15,000. A record for Ewenny slipware. (2)
Prints & Works on Paper There were excellent results for many of The Welsh Sale stalwarts, including John Elwyn, Valerie Ganz, John Knapp-Fisher and Charles Frederick Tunnicliffe. However, it was Sir Kyffin Williams’ star that shone the brightest. There is renewed level of interest for acquiring works by Kyffin and consequently there has been a shift upwards in

prices for good works on paper. We saw this in action during our Welsh Sale in April and again in July. All seven works on paper by the artist found buyers, with one example, estimated at £3000-5000, making a very pleasing £9000 hammer price. (3)
Oil Paintings The Kyffin works on paper were followed by his incredible view of Rhoscolyn, Ynys Mon, in oils. The panoramic landscape had the Holy Trinity of farmer and dog, chapel, and village. The price of £62,000 eclipsed the existing auction record of £60,000 which we achieved for the artist in 2016. The purchaser, based in the South of England, had fond memories of Rhoscolyn, and had even been christened in the chapel. It was a very touching conclusion to the sale of an incredible work of Welsh art that we were honoured to promote. Three other Kyffin oils to find new homes included a dramatic landscape with an ancient stone circle ‘Bryn Cader Faner’, selling for £29,000 (4). An early oil of Cemaes Bay village (5) also realised £29,000, and finally a portrait of an epileptic boy (6) took a hammer price of £15,000. We donated a proportion of our commission from this portrait to Epilepsy Research UK, to help with their invaluable work. Sir Kyffin himself lived with epilepsy. Gwilym Prichard (1931-2015) was another Ynys Mon artist who had a successful Welsh Sale. Prichard’s often colourful and dynamic oil landscapes are perennially popular with our Welsh Sale audience. Lot 341 ‘Y Parrog’ (7) was particularly pleasing in my opinion, and it seems that the collectors agreed, the hammer price of £3400 was achieved against an estimate of £1000-1500. Later, another landscape by Prichard realised £3200 against an estimate of £2000-3000. Results were also strong for John Elwyn, Charles Wyatt Warren, Will Roberts, Aneurin Jones and Kevin Sinnott with Sinnott’s epic ‘The Boxing Field, Pontycymmer’ delivering a punchy £9000. (8) Then, as ever, there was excellent demand for the works of Donald McIntyre, with whom the auction reached a very healthy climax by adding a collective price of £30,000 for works by him. (9)

ADOLYGIAD Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig 24 Gorffennaf 2021
Paentiadau olew
Lotiau: 482 Gwerthwyd: 415 (86%) Cyfanswm: £399,465 Hen Bethau Cymreig a Serameg a Phorslen Cymreig Dechreuodd yr Arwerthiant Cymreig ym mis Gorffennaf gydag adran gref iawn o Hen Bethau Cymreig a Serameg a Phorslen Cymreig. Dechreuodd yr adran gyda thair eitem o ddodrefn Cymreig cynnar gyda tharddiad gwych dros genedlaethau mewn ffermdy yng Nghlynnog Fawr, Sir Gaernarfon. Aeth y ddresel Gymreig, y tridarn a’r cwpwrdd bwyd i gyd ymhell y tu hwnt i’w hamcan-bris gan ddod â phrisiau o £2000, £1600 a £2200 yn y drefn honno. Roedd hi’n galonogol gweld cyffro yn y cynigion o sawl cyfeiriad am ddodrefn Cymreig mewn marchnad sydd wedi bod trwy gyfnod anodd. (1) Roedd yr adran serameg yn cynnwys gwrthrychau diddorol a phrin iawn o ystâd yng Ngorllewin Cymru ynghyd â rhan gyntaf casgliad Gwyneth ac Ieuan Evans. Cafodd dros 90% o’r lotiau gartrefi newydd gyda phrisiau cadarn am borslen a chrochenwaith. Ond y llestr Gwasael o grochenwaith slip Ewenny oedd seren y sioe yma. Roedd y llestr Gwasael wedi’i ddyddio i 1832 ac roedd arysgrif William James, Tonyrefail arno. Yn yr 19eg Ganrif, byddai’r dysglau anarferol a phrin hyn yn cael eu llenwi â chwrw sbeislyd, a thua cyfnod Calan, byddai pentrefwyr yn mynd â’r llestr o dŷ i dŷ i ddymuno hapusrwydd, iechyd a lles i’w cymdogion. Roedd yr arfer yn gysylltiedig â defod y Fari Lwyd, ble byddai penglog ceffyl yn cael ei osod ar bolyn wedi’i addurno â rhubanau a’i gludo o gwmpas wrth ddymuno’n dda i’r pentrefwyr. Roedd yr arysgrif William James yn cyfeirio at yr un a gyfrannodd y llestr. Roedd tipyn o sbeis yn y frwydr am y ddysgl rhwng dau gynigydd ar-lein fu’n cynnal eu brwydr ar y ffôn a’r we. Dechreuodd y cynigion gyda’r amcan-bris o £3000-£5000 gan godi i bris terfynol o £15,000. Mae hyn yn record ar gyfer crochenwaith slip Ewenny. (2)
Printiau a Gweithiau ar Bapur Cafwyd canlyniadau rhagorol ar gyfer llawer o hoelion wyth Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig, gan gynnwys John Elwyn, Valerie Ganz, John Knapp Fisher a Charles Frederick Tunnicliffe. Fodd bynnag, seren Syr Kyffin Williams oedd yr un ddisgleiriaf. Mae adfywiad yn y diddordeb mewn cael gafael ar weithiau gan Kyffin ac o ganlyniad, mae prisiau wedi bod ar i fyny ar gyfer gweithiau da ar bapur. Gwelon ni hyn ar waith yn ystod ein Harwerthiant Cymreig ym mis Ebrill ac eto ym mis Gorffennaf. Cafwyd prynwr i bob un o’r saith gwaith ar bapur gan yr arlunydd, gydag un enghraifft, oedd ag amcan-bris o £3000-£5000 yn cyrraedd £9000 pan aeth y morthwyl i lawr. (3)
8
Dilynwyd gweithiau Kyffin ar bapur gan ei olygfa anhygoel o Roscolyn, Ynys Môn, mewn olew. Roedd yr olygfa’n dangos panorama o’r pentref gyda’r capel yn ei ganol ac yn y blaendir, roedd ffarmwr gyda’i gi defaid. Dyma’r Drindod Sanctaidd o ffarmwr a’i gi, capel, a phentref. Rhoddodd y pris o £62,000 record flaenorol yr arwerthiant o £60,000, a gyflawnwyd gennym ar gyfer yr artist yn 2016, yn y cysgod. Roedd gan y prynwr, a oedd wedi’i leoli yn Ne Lloegr, atgofion melys am Roscolyn, ac roedd hyd yn oed wedi ei fedyddio yn y capel. Roedd yn ganlyniad teimladwy iawn i werthiant darn anhygoel o gelf Gymreig ac roedd yn anrhydedd i ni 7 gael ei hyrwyddo. Ymhlith tri arall o baentiadau olew Kyffin a gafodd gartref newydd roedd tirlun dramatig gyda chylch meini hynafol, ‘Bryn Cader Faner’, a werthodd am £29,000 (4). Aeth darlun olew cynnar o bentref Cemaes (5) am £29,000 hefyd ac yn olaf, roedd portread o fachgen epileptig (6) wedi cyrraedd £15,000 pan ddaeth y morthwyl i lawr. Cyfrannon ni gyfran o’n comisiwn o’r portread hwn i Epilepsy Research UK i helpu gyda’u gwaith amhrisiadwy. Roedd Syr Kyffin yn dioddef o’r salwch hwn. Roedd Gwilym Prichard (1931-2015) yn un arall o arlunwyr Môn a gafodd lwyddiant yn Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig. Mae tirluniau olew Prichard, sy’n tueddu i fod yn lliwgar a deinamig, wastad yn boblogaidd gyda chynulleidfa ein Harwerthiant Cymreig. Roedd Lot 341, ‘Y Parrog’ (7) yn ddeniadol iawn yn fy marn i, ac mae’n debyg bod y casglwyr yn cytuno, gan iddo gyrraedd pris morthwyl o £3400 o’r amcan-bris o £1000-£1500. Yn ddiweddarach, cyrhaeddodd tirlun arall gan Prichard bris o £3200 o’i amcan-bris o £2000-£3000. Cafwyd canlyniadau cryf hefyd ar gyfer John Elwyn, Charles Wyatt Warren, Will Roberts, Aneurin Jones a Kevin Sinnott darlun epig Sinnott, ‘The Boxing Field, Pontycymmer’ yn taro £9000. (8) Wedyn, wrth gwrs, roedd galw rhagorol am weithiau Donald McIntyre a ddaeth â’r arwerthiant i uchafbwynt iach drwy ychwanegu cyfanswm o £30,000 am weithiau ganddo yntau. (9)

REVIEW Selections & Collections 24 July 2021 Lots: 108 Sold: 83 (76.5%) Total: £127,170 July’s Selections & Collections auction commenced on time with ten supreme watches. As we know the market 10 for prestigious timepieces is exceptional and there were some amazing prices for both pocket-watches and wristwatches. The top price in this section was for the Rolex 18K gold diamond Oyster Perpetual wristwatch selling for £23,500 against an estimate of £12,000-18,000. (10) Second was the highly prized Grana WWII military-issue wristwatch which sold for £18,000 against an estimate of £5000-10,000. The Grana watch was purchased by a gentleman in Holland who was delighted to complete his collection of ‘Dirty Dozen’ military wristwatches. (11) The next section in the sale was estate jewellery and there were one or two very pleasant surprises for the vendors, a carved Chinese jadeite pendant dropping in at £2600 against an estimate of £300-500 (12) and a superb garnet set riviere necklace with an identical estimate taking £2800 under the hammer. (13) Another famously buoyant market is Chinese ceramics and there were some solid performers in this section too (14, 15). We are very reassured by the presence of Mr Philip Keith in our team who has a broad experience and knowledge of this subject matter.
12
A section of British and continental ceramics followed and those who were watching online at this stage would have witnessed a marriage proposal battle. The rare 19th Century Staffordshire pearlware model ‘The Proposal’, was fiercely contested on the telephones to a final price of £3800 against an estimate of £500-700 (16). Also in this section, a Clarice Cliff jar in the rare ‘May Avenue’ pattern made £1200 despite lacking the lid. Also in the rare bracket, were two early period Beswick shire-horses which ploughed on past the £300-500 estimate to take £1400. There were more horses in L S Lowry’s print ‘The Cart’ (17) which dismounted at £6200 and then the horseless ‘Contraption’ print by the same artist motored to £4000. Lowry’s signed limited edition prints continue to be highly sought by the UK public.
13
Finally, there was a magical conclusion to July’s Super Saturday as a paperback first edition issue of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone made £3800. The hardback version of this first edition can make spellbinding prices!

Other Auctions since July’s Super Saturday By the time you receive this catalogue, we will have conducted around sixteen auctions from our bases in Cardiff and Colwyn Bay. Two have been ‘Timed Auctions’ which are held without an auctioneer, instead the bidding takes place against the clock. This type of auction is becoming increasingly popular and one of the advantages is that the auction climaxes at a time in the week which is more convenient for bidders, such as a Sunday evening. One of the timed auctions was the Studio Sale of Gareth Thomas which comprised 90 of the late Swansea artist’s work. It was very well received by collectors and the results far exceeded our expectations.

ADOLYGIAD Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau 24 Gorffennaf 2021 Lotiau: 108 Gwerthwyd: 83 (76.5%) Cyfanswm: £127,170 Dechreuodd arwerthiant Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau mis Gorffennaf ar amser gyda deg oriawr ardderchog. Fel y gwyddom, mae’r farchnad ar gyfer oriorau o fri yn eithriadol a chafwyd prisiau anhygoel am oriorau poced a rhai i’r arddwrn. Cafwyd y pris uchaf yn yr adran hon am oriawr arddwrn 18K aur a diamwntau Rolex, yr Oyster Perpetual a werthodd am £23,000 o amcan-bris o £12,000-£18,000. (10) Yn ail, roedd yr oriawr filwrol Grana o’r Ail Ryfel Byd a werthodd am £18,000 o gymharu â’i amcan-bris o £5000-£10,000. Prynwyd yr oriawr Grana gan ŵr yn yr Iseldiroedd a oedd wrth ei fodd yn cwblhau ei gasgliad o ‘Dirty Dozen’ yr oriorau milwrol. (11) Yr adran nesaf yn yr arwerthiant oedd gemwaith ystadau ac fe gafwyd un neu ddau o ganlyniadau annisgwyl o dda i’r gwerthwyr. Un o’r rhain oedd tlws jadit Tsieineaidd cerfiedig a ddisgleiriodd ar £2600 wedi dechrau ag amcan-bris o £300-£500 (12) ac un arall oedd mwclis riviere rhagorol â garnedau wedi’u gosod oedd â’r un amcan-bris ac a werthodd am £2800. (13) Marchnad arall sy’n enwog am ei bywiogrwydd ydy serameg Tsieineaidd a chafwyd nifer o ganlyniadau cadarn yn yr adran hon hefyd (14, 15). Mae o gymorth mawr i ni i gael Mr Philip Keith yn ein tîm gyda’i brofiad a’i wybodaeth eang yn y maes hwn. Adran o serameg Prydeinig a chyfandirol oedd nesaf a byddai’r rhai oedd yn gwylio ar-lein ar y pryd wedi bod yn dystion i ymryson hen ffasiwn da dros gynnig i briodi. Cafwyd brwydr ffyrnig dros y model prin o’r 19eg ganrif o berlwaith Swydd Stafford, ‘The Proposal’ ar y ffonau nes iddo gyrraedd pris terfynol o £3800 o’i amcan-bris o £500-£700 (16). Yn yr adran hon hefyd, denodd jar Clarice Cliff ym mhatrwm prin ‘May Avenue’ £1200 er bod y caead ar goll. Yn y categori prin hefyd, roedd dau geffyl gwedd o gyfnod cynnar Beswick a garlamodd heibio i’r amcan-bris o £300-£500 a chyrraedd pris o £1400.

ar £6200 ac wedyn rasiodd y print di-geffyl, ‘Contraption’ gan yr un artist i bris o £4000. Mae printiau cyfresi cyfyngedig Lowry sydd wedi’u llofnodi yn parhau i fod yn boblogaidd iawn gyda’r cyhoedd yn y Deyrnas Unedig. Yn olaf, daeth Dydd Sadwrn Mawr mis Gorffennaf i ben mewn amgylchiadau hudolus wrth i argraffiad cyntaf clawr papur o ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ Harry Potter werthu am £3800. Mae fersiwn clawr caled yr argraffiad cyntaf hwn yn gallu gwerthu am brisiau fydd yn eich swyno!
Arwerthiannau eraill ers Dydd Sadwrn Mawr mis Gorffennaf Erbyn i chi dderbyn y catalog hwn, byddwn wedi cynnal oddeutu un ar bymtheg o arwerthiannau o’n canolfannau yng Nghaerdydd a Bae Colwyn. Roedd dau o’r rhain yn ‘Arwerthiannau Wedi’u Hamseru’ sy’n cael eu cynnal heb arwerthwr, gyda’r cynigion yn hytrach yn digwydd yn erbyn y cloc. Mae’r mathau hyn o arwerthiannau yn dod yn fwyfwy poblogaidd ac un o’r manteision ydy bod yr arwerthiant yn cyrraedd uchafbwynt ar adeg yn ystod yr wythnos sy’n fwy cyfleus i gynigwyr, megis nos Sul. Un o’r arwerthiannau wedi’u hamseru oedd Arwerthiant Stiwdio Gareth Thomas a oedd yn cynnwys 90 o weithiau’r diweddar artist o Abertawe. Cafodd dderbyniad da gan gasglwyr ac roedd y canlyniadau ymhell uwchlaw ein disgwyliadau.

PREVIEW The Welsh Sale Once again, we are amazed at the quality and quantity of lots in our Welsh Sale. We are hugely grateful to all vendors for their custom.
The Gwyneth & Ieuan Evans Collection Part II We feel honoured and humbled to be chosen as the auctioneer to represent this collection following the death of collector, author and academic, Mr Ieuan Evans. The first part of the collection sold successfully in July, and we now look forward to representing the second part. Many eager eyes will be fixed on another Ewenny slipware wassail bowl and cover after the £15,000 result for an example in July. We believe this example, which is smaller, to be the 27 earliest to come to market. The sgraffito decoration is charming and it is elevated by the maker’s name which is emblazoned on the body. (27) Gwyneth Evans has this year published a new volume of ‘Ewenny Potteries, Potters & Pots’ which chronicles the history of the potteries of the Ewenny district together with the potters and wares that the area produced. On the evening of 17 November, we will be hosting an Ewenny evening at the Cardiff auction room, where Gwyneth will be discussing her book with special guests. The event will be available for limited numbers, so please contact us in plenty of time if you would like to attend. (28)
The Mary Daley Collection
28
Mary Daley is the daughter of Sir Leslie Joseph - a name synonymous with Welsh porcelain. We are privileged to represent the sale of Ms Daley’s collection, most of which was originally from the principal collection. We frequently auction ceramics with the recognisable Leslie Joseph Collection labels applied to the base, but it is very pleasing to be instructed directly by the Joseph family. It is reward for our continuing endeavours in the Welsh porcelain market and confirms our standing as one of the leading auctioneers in Welsh ceramics. Sir Leslie Joseph’s collection of Welsh porcelain was known to be impressive when it was housed in his many cabinets at his home Coedargraig on the outskirts of Newton, Porthcawl. And over the years, the curious public were able to take a glimpse at his collection, on the occasions that certain items were released for exhibitions, including at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in Swansea. (29) But the scale of the collection took many collectors by surprise when it was brought to Margam Park for auction after Sir Leslie’s death in 1992. It was Sir Leslie’s wishes that his collection should be dispersed, allowing new collectors the same pleasure he had from amassing it.
10
The auction confirmed Sir Leslie’s collection as being the largest privately owned selection of Swansea and Nantgarw porcelain in the world. Over 2,000 objects were offered in a one-off sale at The Orangery in Margam Park. Over 900 lots came under the hammer, realising in excess of £1.1 million. (30) Sir Leslie Joseph was born in Swansea and had a long business career, which saw him eventually becoming vice-chairman of the Trusthouse Forte group. He had bought his first piece of Welsh porcelain before the Second World War. In the 1950s he began to 29 assemble a collection that would eventually fill those display cabinets that lined five attic rooms at Coedargraig. Sir Leslie was a scrupulous researcher, and his aim was to secure examples of every shape and pattern made at the Swansea and Nantgarw potteries. Over the years he built up a vast knowledge of Welsh ceramics and especially the script marks used on Swansea porcelain. In 1988 he published the book Swansea Porcelain: Shapes and Decoration with A.E. Jones, which is an invaluable resource for collectors. We have copies of this book for sale. Please enquire. (31)
Sir Kyffin Williams RA Once again, the entries from Wales’ most favourite artists are exceptional. There are five oil paintings, with two having been selected by the artist and loaned out by the present owners to the 1987 National Museum of Wales exhibition. Another, ‘Gwastadnant’ is one of those instantly recognisable Kyffin oils - variations of the composition were used in linocut prints (32) and Christmas cards. The humble Welsh village in the shadows of the imposing Welsh peaks is…well, iconic - which is an overused term that we try to avoid, but ‘Gwastadnant’ is certainly that.
Other Paintings in this Welsh Sale There are once again excellent examples of art from The Welsh Sale stalwarts including Donald McIntyre, Gwilym Prichard, John Elwyn, Jack Jones and George Chapman to name but a few. Selecting highlights is a difficult job as it is so personal, but I would like to give a mention to the Nicholas Evans painting entitled ‘Trevethick Engine 1804’. The monumental work is typical in style, but I am not sure I have seen a more impressive composition by the artist. (33, 34, 35)

Rogers Jones & Co • The View / Bwrw Golwg Cadarnhaodd yr arwerthiant mai casgliad Syr Leslie oedd y detholiad mwyaf yn y byd o borslen Abertawe a Nantgarw oedd dan berchnogaeth breifat; cynigiwyd dros 2,000 o eitemau mewn arwerthiant unigryw yn yr Orendy ym Mharc Margam. Daeth dros 900 o lotiau dan y morthwyl, gan godi mwy nag £1.1 miliwn. (30) Cafodd Syr Leslie Joseph ei eni yn Abertawe a chafodd yrfa hir ym myd busnes, a’i gwelodd yn y pen draw yn dod yn is-gadeirydd grŵp Trusthouse Forte. Roedd wedi prynu ei ddarn cyntaf o borslen Cymreig cyn yr Ail Ryfel Byd. Yn y 1950au, dechreuodd dynnu casgliad ynghyd a fyddai, yn y pen draw, yn llenwi’r holl gypyrddau arddangos yna a oedd ar hyd waliau pum ystafell atig yng Nghoedargraig.
31
RHAGOLWG Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig Unwaith eto, mae ansawdd a nifer y lotiau yn ein Harwerthiant Cymreig yn ein rhyfeddu. Rydym yn hynod ddiolchgar i’r holl werthwyr am ddefnyddio’n gwasanaeth.
Casgliad Gwyneth ac Ieuan Evans Rhan II Rydym yn teimlo’n hynod freintiedig ein bod wedi’n dewis i fod yn arwerthwyr i gynrychioli’r casgliad hwn yn dilyn marwolaeth y casglwr, yr awdur a’r academig, Mr Ieuan Evans. Cafwyd llwyddiant wrth werthu rhan gyntaf y casgliad ym mis Gorffennaf ac rydym yn edrych ymlaen nawr at gyflwyno ail ran y casgliad. Bydd sawl un yn cadw llygad craff ar lestr gwasael arall o grochenwaith slip Ewenny ar ôl i’r enghraifft ym mis Gorffennaf gael £15,000. Rydym yn credu mai’r enghraifft hon, sydd yn llai na’r un ym mis Gorffennaf, ydy’r un cynharaf i gyrraedd y farchnad. Mae’r addurniadau sgraffito yn hyfryd ac mae’n cael ei ddyrchafu gydag enw’r gwneuthurwr ar y corff. (27) Mae Gwyneth Evans wedi cyhoeddi cyfrol newydd eleni o ‘Ewenny Potteries, Potters & Pots’ sy’n adrodd hanes crochendai ardal Ewenny ynghyd â’r crochenwyr a’r gweithiau a gynhyrchwyd gan yr ardal. Ar noson 17eg Tachwedd, byddwn yn cynnal noson Ewenny yn yr ystafell arwerthu yng Nghaerdydd , a bydd Gwyneth yno yn trafod ei llyfr gyda gwesteion arbennig. Bydd y digwyddiad ar gael i nifer cyfyngedig, felly cysylltwch â ni mewn da bryd os ydych am fynychu. (28)
Casgliad Mary Daley Mary Daley ydy merch Syr Leslie Joseph – yr enw amlycaf ym myd porslen Cymreig. Mae’n fraint i ni gael cyflwyno arwerthiant o gasgliad Ms Daley, y mae’r rhan fwyaf ohono’n deillio o’r prif gasgliad. Yn aml, byddwn yn arwerthu serameg sydd â labeli adnabyddus Casgliad Leslie Joseph wedi’u gosod ar y gwaelod, ond mae’n rhoi pleser mawr i ni gael cyfarwyddyd yn uniongyrchol gan y teulu Joseph. Mae’n gwobrwyo ein hymdrechion parhaus ym marchnad porslen Cymreig ac yn cadarnhau ein statws fel un o brif arwerthwyr serameg Cymreig. Roedd pobl yn gwybod bod casgliad Syr Leslie Joseph o borslen Cymreig yn un trawiadol pan roedd wedi’i gartrefu yn ei gypyrddau niferus yn ei gartref, Coedargraig ar gyrion Newton ger Porthcawl. A thros y blynyddoedd, roedd modd i’r cyhoedd gael cip ar ei gasgliad ar yr adegau pan fyddai rhai eitemau’n cael eu rhyddhau ar gyfer arddangosfeydd, gan gynnwys rhai yn Oriel Glynn Vivian yn Abertawe. (29)
Roedd Syr Leslie yn ymchwilydd cydwybodol, a’i nod oedd sicrhau esiamplau o bob siâp a phatrwm a wnaed yng nghrochendai Abertawe a Nantgarw. Dros y blynyddoedd, datblygodd wybodaeth enfawr ynglŷn â serameg Cymreig ac yn arbennig y marciau ysgrifen a ddefnyddiwyd ar borslen Abertawe. Ym 1988, cyhoeddodd y llyfr Swansea Porcelain: Shapes and Decoration gydag A.E. Jones, sy’n adnodd amhrisiadwy i gasglwyr. Mae gennym gopïau sbâr o’r llyfr hwn ar werth. Holwch ni. (31)
Syr Kyffin Williams RA Unwaith eto, mae’r cyfraniadau gan hoff arlunydd Cymru yn eithriadol. Mae yna bump o baentiadau olew, a dau o’r rheiny yn rhai a ddewiswyd gan yr arlunydd ac a roddwyd ar fenthyg gan y perchnogion presennol ar gyfer arddangosfa Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Cymru yn 1987 Mae un arall, ‘Gwastadnant’ yn un o weithiau olew amlycaf Kyffin - cafodd amrywiadau o’r darlun hwn eu defnyddio mewn printiau 32 leino a chardiau Nadolig. Mae’r pentref bach Cymreig yng nghysgod y mynyddoedd mawreddog yn... wel, eiconig - gair rydyn ni’n ceisio’i osgoi gan fod tuedd iddo gael ei orddefnyddio, ond does dim dwywaith bod ‘Gwastadnant’ yn haeddu’r disgrifiad. (32)
Paentiadau eraill yn yr Arwerthiant Cymreig hwn Unwaith eto, mae yna enghreifftiau rhagorol o gelf gan hoelion wyth yr Arwerthiant Cymreig gan gynnwys Donald McIntyre, Gwilym Prichard, John Elwyn, Jack Jones a George Chapman i enwi ychydig ohonynt. Mae dethol uchafbwyntiau yn dasg anodd gan fod gan bawb ei ffefrynnau, ond mi hoffwn i sôn am baentiad Nicholas Evans sy’n dwyn yr enw ‘Trevithick Engine 1804’. Mae’r gwaith aruthrol hwn yn nodweddiadol o ran ei arddull, ond dydw 34 i ddim yn meddwl fy mod i wedi gweld unrhyw waith gan yr artist sy’n creu mwy o argraff na hwn. (33, 34, 35)
Ond roedd llawer o gasglwyr wedi’u syfrdanu gan anferthedd y casgliad pan gafodd ei gyflwyno mewn arwerthiant ym Mharc Margam yn dilyn marwolaeth Syr Leslie ym 1992. Dymuniad Syr Leslie oedd i’r casgliad gael ei wasgaru, gan ganiatáu i gasglwyr newydd gael yr un pleser ag y cafodd yntau o’i grynhoi. 35 33

PREVIEW Selections & Collections Our highly popular Selections & Collections auction continues to showcase the very best in class across the antiques spectrum. The real gems our valuers uncover during the many house visits and valuation days held across the country and beyond find their way into this high-quality sale held in the capital. It truly is a global event with registered bidders regularly joining us from the US, China, Australia, Canada and beyond. With Christmas just around the corner it is an excellent opportunity to find that thoughtful, special, and unique present. We feel privileged whenever we offer military medals at auction but especially so when they are entered by the family of the awardee. We are humbled and hugely grateful to the family of the late Wing-Commander Rex Sanders OBE for entrusting us with the marketing of his superb medal group which includes his Distinguished Flying Cross. (37) Estate and private jewellery feature once again with a fantastic array of diamonds on offer including a beautiful Victorian diamond encrusted cross pendant, stunning solitaires, and head-turning
City Hospice offer palliative care and support to patients in their own homes and some at their centre in Whitchurch. Referrals are made from Velindre Cancer Centre, the University Hospital of Wales, or from a patient’s own GP.
39 cluster rings to name but a few. Also fitting into the small-but-beautiful category is a wonderful single owner collection of vesta cases. (38) Following the success of the military Grana wristwatch in July’s sale we have further military examples by Omega and Hamilton. Highly desirable and understated, popularity for these timepieces has soared in recent years and strong international competition is expected once again. (39) Arriving via our Colwyn Bay saleroom are two interesting collections - Chinese ceramics and rare whisky. In recent years whisky has outperformed almost all other sectors of our industry with ferocious competition seen particularly for rare bottlings from ‘silent’ distilleries. With over 40 bottles on offer from a single owner collection, look out for expressions from heavy-hitters Macallan, Millburn and St Magdalene. (40) Bob Dylan needs no introduction when it comes to music. He is possibly the most important solo singer-songwriter from the last sixty years. But he has also come to the fore as a visual artist in this century. Dylan created a collection of drawings that were published in a book entitled Drawn Blank in 1994. These expressive works captured Dylan’s chance encounters and observations whilst travelling on tour between 1989 and 1992, creating portraits, land and cityscapes, interiors, nudes and still life and were done to “relax and refocus a restless mind”. As with his comprehensive backcatalogue of poetic songs, his art encapsulates the ‘back-roads’ of America. (41)

The charity helps patients with diagnoses such as Cancer, Dementia, Motor Neurone Disease (MND), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or other life-limiting illnesses. In September we held an auction at a golfing event, hosted by boxer Joe Calzaghe. Our next event for City Hospice will be an art auction to be held online from our Cardiff saleroom on November 25th. Please see our website for details. We will also be supporting Mind Cymru this autumn. Mental Health for many has deteriorated during the pandemic and Mind are committed to helping people in this capacity. Lot 118 in this Welsh Sale is one of only ten hand-coloured prints by Kevin Sinnott. All proceeds from the sale of this print will be forwarded to Mind. Then on the 12th November there will be a one-off auction of another of these prestigious prints in Cardiff. Please enquire for further details. We have not yet resumed our valuation tour in which we offer no obligation valuations at local venues (but please watch this space)! We have though reconvened our monthly valuation days at Newton Village Hall, near Swansea, on an appointment basis only. The venue is very convenient for those in Swansea and the Gower and offers free parking. The final event at Newton this year is on November 30th.

SPOTLIGHT ON WELSH POTTERY WITH BEN ROGERS JONES
Sold £1500
Stepping out of the Shadow In recent years, examples of antique Welsh pottery have stepped out of the shadow of their more gentrified porcelain cousins. The porcelain of Swansea and Nantgarw has always been held in high esteem and it is often regarded by academics as the finest porcelain of its age. This refinement however was incredibly difficult to make profitable and thus the porcelain output from both Swansea and Nantgarw only lasted twelve short years, between 1814 and 1826. Lot 37
Welsh pottery production began long before William Billingsley fired the first batch of porcelain wares in 1814. The Cambrian Pottery company began in 1764 and pottery continued to be made in Swansea until 1870. Llanelli’s South Wales Pottery lasted until 1922. While Ewenny pottery continues to operate today, under the Jenkins’ family ownership – a dynasty who have been at the wheel since the early 19th century.
Documentary pottery items are especially sought after. Jugs or plates with names of Welsh folk from centuries ago are decorative headstones bringing the names of the past to our living rooms. While political and satirical jugs which comment on the zeitgeist of long ago are historically interesting. Then there are the Wassail bowls by Ewenny. These bowls were famous locally and their use by New Years revellers form part of the Mari Lwyd folk-lore. So, as well as being very unusual in their form, they are also an important part of the Welsh tradition. Collections of antique Welsh pottery often combine history, poignancy, tradition and cheerful decoration with a uniquely Welsh perspective and charm.
Since we opened our doors in Cardiff in 2013, Welsh ceramics have found a new auction home in The Welsh Sale. And we have seen some excellent prices for Nantgarw and Swansea with renewed interest from local collectors who are pleased to see collections being offered in the heart of the Welsh porcelain collecting base. However, these high prices for fine Welsh porcelain examples are not unexpected. In my eyes though, there have been a greater number of auction shocks for Welsh pottery. In the last few years, we have seen fierce bidding and inflated auction prices for Llanelly pottery, Ynysmeudwy, Ewenny and of course Swansea pottery. So, what is the appeal of these rustic wares? Sold £550
Sold £950
Welsh pottery is especially appealing to the vernacular collector. Those who favour Welsh dressers and tridarns over china cabinets. Collectors are attracted by the naivety of the decoration, the vivid colours and the quirkiness. It is perhaps more fun than the more refined and ‘high-brow’ decoration of Welsh porcelain. Llanelly cockerel plates by ‘Aunt Sal’ are a prime example of ‘fun over fine’. When a collection of these iconic Welsh plates is assembled on a dresser, they are exciting and cheerful. Sold £1650

Yn y blynyddoedd diweddaraf, mae enghreifftiau o grochenwaith Cymreig hynafol wedi camu o gysgod eu cefndryd porslen mwy uchel-ael. Mae porslen Abertawe a Nantgarw wastad wedi bod yn uchel ei fri ac yn aml, bydd academyddion yn ystyried mai dyma borslen mwyaf cywrain ei oes. Ond roedd yn anodd drybeilig gwneud elw o’r cywreinrwydd hwn, felly dim ond am ddeuddeg mlynedd y parodd y gwaith cynhyrchu porslen yn Abertawe ac yn Nantgarw, rhwng 1814 a 1826. Roedd gwaith cynhyrchu crochenwaith wedi dechrau yng Nghymru ymhell cyn i William Billingsley danio’r casgliad cyntaf o weithiau porslen ym 1814. Dechreuodd cwmni Crochendy Cambrian ym 1764 ac roedd crochenwaith yn dal i gael ei wneud yn Abertawe tan 1870. Daliodd Crochendy De Cymru yn Llanelli ati tan 1922. Ac mae crochendy Ewenny yn dal wrthi heddiw, dan berchnogaeth teulu Jenkins – llinach sydd wedi bod yn troelli ers dechrau’r 19eg ganrif. Ers i ni agor ein drysau yng Nghaerdydd yn 2013, mae serameg Cymreig wedi cael cartref arwerthu newydd yn Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig. Ac rydyn ni wedi gweld prisiau rhagorol am ddarnau o Nantgarw ac Abertawe, gyda diddordeb wedi’i aildanio ymhlith casglwyr lleol sy’n falch o weld casgliadau’n cael eu cynnig wrth galon y gymuned o gasglwyr porslen Cymreig. Fodd bynnag, nid yw’r prisiau uchel hyn am borslen Cymreig cywrain yn annisgwyl. Ond yn fy ngolwg i, cafwyd llawer mwy o brofiadau annisgwyl mewn arwerthiannau ar gyfer crochenwaith Cymreig. Yn ystod y
Lots 4, 8 & 5 blynyddoedd diweddaraf, rydym wedi gweld ymrysonau ffyrnig a phrisiau uchel mewn arwerthiannau ar gyfer crochenwaith Llanelly, Ynysmeudwy, Ewenny, ac Abertawe hefyd, wrth gwrs. Felly beth yw apêl y gweithiau gwerinol hyn? Mae crochenwaith Cymreig yn arbennig o ddeniadol i gasglwyr eitemau cynhenid. Y rhai sy’n ffafrio dreseli Cymreig a thridarnau yn hytrach na chypyrddau tsieni. Mae casglwyr yn cael eu denu gan symlrwydd yr addurniadau, y lliwiau llachar a’r hynodrwydd. Efallai ei fod yn fwy o hwyl nag addurniadau mwy cywrain ac ‘uchel-ael’ y porslen Cymreig. Mae platiau ceiliog Llanelly gan ‘Aunt Sal’ yn enghraifft amlwg lle o feddylfryd ‘mwynhau yn lle mawredd’. Pan fydd casgliad o’r platiau Cymreig eiconig hyn wedi’u gosod ar ddresel, maent yn creu cyffro ac yn dod â gwên. Mae eitemau crochenwaith dogfennol yn arbennig o boblogaidd. Mae jygiau neu blatiau gydag enwau Cymry o’r canrifoedd a fu yn gerrig beddi addurniadol sy’n dod ag enwau’r gorffennol i mewn i’n cartrefi. Ac mae jygiau gwleidyddol a dychanol sy’n cynnig sylwebaeth ar ysbryd oes a fu yn mynd â ni’n ôl hefyd i’r fan a’r lle. Wedyn mae llestri Gwasael Ewenny. Roedd y llestri hyn yn enwog yn lleol a’u defnydd ar gyfer dathliadau’r Calan yn rhan o draddodiad gwerin y Fari Lwyd. Felly, yn ogystal â bod yn anarferol iawn o ran eu ffurf, maent hefyd yn rhan bwysig o draddodiad y Cymry.
Sold £6500
Bydd casgliadau o grochenwaith Cymreig hynafol yn aml yn cyfuno hanes, teimlad, traddodiad ac addurniadau hwyliog gyda phersbectif a swyn sy’n unigryw i’r Cymry. 15

COMMISSION BIDDING
TELEPHONE BIDDING
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.
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.
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.

37 37 AN IMPORTANT EWENNY POTTERY SLIPWARE WASSAIL BOWL & COVER, DATED 1823 glazed in yellow over red with sgraffito decoration, the base with seventeen loops decorated with zig-zags, repeated interlocking circles below the rim and below the handles the inscription ‘THOMAS ARTHUR maker Ewenny, Glamorganshire, South Wales, November 26th, 1823’ below the inscription a naive scrolling trail, and with a trail of flowers to the opposite side, the sgraffito decorated domed cover with loops and a prowling fox, the flat top adorned with birds and beehives or hay-cocks, 29cms high Provenance: from the collection of Gwyneth and the late Ieuan Evans, purchased privately by the vendor, to accompany a page from an old auction catalogue with an illustration and description of the bowl (possibly 1960s/70s), the maker is likely to be Thomas Arthur (1792-1853), a resident of nearby Corntown, who was registered as a potter in the 1851 Census (please see page 41 of Ewenny Potteries, Potters & Pots by Gwyneth & Ieuan R Evans) Auctioneer’s Note: Wassail bowls were used in an ancient custom in south Wales around New Year, when groups of revellers would travel from house to house wishing happiness, health and well-being to their neighbours. In Glamorgan the wassail tradition was closely associated with The Mari Lwyd ritual, where a horse’s skull was fixed to a ribbon-decorated pole and promenaded around the well-wishers. The bowls were usually filled with spiced ale. The communal nature of the wassail custom is highlighted by the multiple handles which may have been decorated with ribbons for the event. In the South Wales News of April 30th 1892 a report refers to William Williams, a potter at Claypits who made wassail bowls in the 1820s for parishes at a cost of one guinea each

It was to be several years before steam locomotion became commercially viable, meaning Richard Trevithick and not George Stephenson was the real father of the railways. In 1803, Samuel Homfray brought Richard Trevithick to his Penydarren ironworks at Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales. Homfray was interested in the high pressure engines that the Cornishman had developed and installed in his road engines. He encouraged Trevithick to look into the possibility of converting such an engine into a rail-mounted locomotive to travel over the newly laid tramroad from Penydarren to the canal wharf at Abercynon. It would appear that Trevithick started work on the locomotive in the autumn of 1803 and, by February 1804, it was completed. Tradition has it that Richard Crawshay, owner of the nearby Cyfarthfa ironworks, was highly sceptical about the new engine, and he and Homfray placed a wager of 500 guineas each with Richard Hill (of the 375 Plymouth ironworks) as to whether or not the engine could haul ten tons of iron to Abercynon, and haul the empty wagons back. The first run was on 21 February, and was described in some detail by Trevithick, ‘yesterday we proceeded on our journey with the engine, and we carried ten tons of iron in five wagons, and seventy men riding on them the whole of the journey… the engine, while working, went nearly five miles an hour; there was no water put into the boiler from the time we started until our journey’s end… the coal consumed was two hundredweight”. Unfortunately, on the return journey a bolt sheared, causing the boiler to leak. The fire then had to be dropped and the engine did not get back to Penydarren until the following day. This gave Crawshay reason to claim that the run had not been completed as stipulated in the wager, but it is not known if this was ever settled! The engine was, in fact, too heavy for the rails. Later, it would serve as a stationary engine driving a forge hammer at the Penydarren works Comments: frame slightly tired and scuffed but in otherwise good order, one of the most powerful Nick Evans work to come to auction showing a seminal moment in industrial history which took place in south Wales £1500-2500

595 595 PAIR COPPER & BRASS WINE COOLERS, each with four bottle sleeves around a central lidded ice container, stepped circular base, tops stamped ‘S.S. Boston’ and ‘White Star’, 31.2 d. x 23.5cms h Provenance: Private collection (South Wales) Auctioneer’s Note: The S.S. Boston was a 4,989 ton steam passenger ship built in 1924 for Eastern Steamship Lines Inc Portsmouth, USA. This ship was given to Britain & transferred to the Ministry of War in 1942. She was sunk by German U-Boat on the September of that year. The U-boat captain, Captain, Karl-Otto Schultz believed her to be the much larger Viceroy of India class boat, due to her high superstructure and twin funnels. It is unclear as to why this piece is also stamped White Star, since this was a separate shipping line, most well-known for building the RMS Titanic. In later years the term ‘White Star’ was adopted by Cunard who bought out the White Star Line to indicate a higher level of service to passengers Comments: generally very good with minor dints to edges £1000-1500

Rogers Jones & Co • Selections & Collections 596 VERY RARE ‘MENAGERIE’ PINK LUSTRE PEARLWARE JUG, c. 1810, named for ‘James Hagger, Keeper at Wombwells’s Royal Menagerie’, with printed and coloured vignettes of a leopard and African man, camel and rider with Turkish handlers, and a zebra and rider, between flowers sprays and floral collar, lustre rim, moulded handle, 17cms high Provenance: Leslie Joseph collection no. MP1. Consigned to auction by Sir Leslie Joseph’s family Auctioneer’s Note: George Wombwell’s Menagerie began travelling around Britain in about 1807. The arrival of a travelling menagerie to a town would have caused great excitement, as it would have been a rare chance for people to see live wild animals. Wombwell was so successful that by his death in 1850, there were three different menageries on tour at any one time. His family continued the business and the last of the Wombwell menagaries closed in 1884. Cf. Pat Halfpenny, English Earthenware Figures, 1740-1840 (Suffolk, 1991), p. 236, pl. 69 and p. 274, for examples of Wombwell’s menagerie groups Comments: handle broken and restored.

596
Provenance: Private collection (West Wales) Auctioneer’s Note: For camparisons, see Bonhams 10.8.07 lot 115 and Pitt Rivers Museum no. 1897.69.8 for similaryly printed nursery plates. Alison Petch writes: The image on the plate refers to George Augustus Frederick of Hanover, (1762-1830), known as the Prince Regent and later George IV, whose residence was Carlton House until 1820 when he ascended the throne. He is the best known resident in the house and the timescale fits (dandy horses were popular just before 1820 when he was Prince Regent and still resident in Carlton House). The Prince Regent was probably the ultimate dandy of the time. Carlton House was an opulent residence, which could be called a palace when the Price Regent was living there so lavish was its decoration. The house was demolished in 1825 and replaced by Carlton House Terrace. The reference to Richmond refers to Maria Anne Fitzherbert (1756-1837). She was married to the future George IV in 1785 (her third marriage), but this marriage was considered invalid under the Royal Marriages Act of 1772 because it had not been approved by George III, his father. In any case, it would not have been possible to marry as she was a Roman Catholic. The relationship lasted until 1811. Maria Fitzherbert was known as the Sweet Lass of Richmond Hill. The jug is therefore a light-hearted political commentary about the scandal of their marriage and on-going relationship. The dandy horse may have been specifically chosen, not only to link George IV and Maria Fitzherbert on the same machine, but also because its name was synonymous with the high living of the early nineteenth century, which the Prince Regent epitomised

Donatello’s bronze statue of David (circa 1440s) is notable as the first unsupported standing work in bronze cast during the Renaissance period, and the first freestanding nude male sculpture made since antiquity. It created a sensation when it was first shown, due to its portrayal of the nude young male. It depicts the young David with an enigmatic smile, posed with his foot on Goliath’s severed head just after killing the giant. The youth is standing naked, apart from a laurel-topped hat and boots, bearing the sword of Goliath. The exact date of creation is widely disputed, dates ranging between 1430 and the more accepted 1440s. It is now displayed in the Bargello, Florence. There is a full-size plaster cast (with a broken sword) in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. The Chiurazzi foundry was established in Naples and were at their most active around the turn of the 19th/20th centuries. They produced a range of over 1300 different models, mainly in bronze of after the Antique and Renaissance models, largely catering for clients engaged on the Grand Tour Comments: base filled, old cracks to chest and back £800-1200

Provenance: direct from family Auctioneer’s Note: Wing Commander Rex Southern Sanders DFC AFC & Bar OBE was a Royal Air Force navigator who won a DFC for his service during the Second World War and an AFC for his part in secret photographic and radar reconnaissance missions behind Soviet lines during the Cold War in the 1950s. Operation Jiu Jitsu - the cover story was that the RAF was evaluating the mid air refueling capabilities of the RB-45 when secretly vital intelligence was being gathered on the Soviet infrastructure, defences and offences. Sanders was the lead navigator of a select nine-man RAF team that flew USAF reconnaissance aircraft on a series of top secret, and highly risky, spy flights deep into the Soviet Union in the early 1950s. In August 1951, three RAF bomber crews flew to a USAF base in Louisiana to train on the North American RB-45C four-engine jet reconnaissance aircraft. The following February the crews were briefed on the operation. Four RB-45Cs were flown to an RAF base in north Norfolk, where they were shorn of their USAF markings and repainted with RAF roundels Comments: viewing in person highly recommended £4000-6000

669 A SOUVENIR RUGBY UNION PROGRAMME FROM WALES V NEW ZEALAND 1905, one of the most famous matches of all, played at Cardiff Arms Park on December 16th, 20cms high Provenance: lady vendor, by descent, Cardiff Auctioneer’s Note: Wales versus The All Black ‘Originals’, in Cardiff, is regarded as one of sport’s greatest matches with over 47,000 spectators at the Arms Park. Even before kick-off the match had become a landmark game when the Welsh supporters sang ‘Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau (Land of My Fathers)’ in response to the New Zealand player’s stirring performance of the Haka. It was the first time a national anthem had been sung before a sporting fixture. There had already been a degree of controversy leading up to the test, particularly in relation to the choice of referee John Dallas, and with regards to the tactics New Zealand had brought with them to the Northern Hemisphere including the role of Gallaher as a roaming wing-forward which many remarked as unsporting with the intent of obstructing opposition players. The controversy continued as the game developed with decisions seeming to go against The Originals. As the referee struggled to keep up with play, there was a ‘try that never was’ and the half-time whistle was reported to have been blown early when Wales were under pressure. Wales were the victors 3-0 Comments: complete, with folds and small tears within the folds, excellent overall in our opinion £2000-3000
670 BRAMBLE PATTERN GOLF BALL AUTOGRAPHED BY THE WORLD FAMOUS PIONEER GOLFER HARRY VARDON by St Mungo Manufacturing Co. marked to the poles ‘The Colonel’, ink signed ‘Harry Vardon’ with date inscribed as ‘March 3rd 1909’ and with inscribed scores of three rounds at believed Radyr Golf Club, Cardiff, ‘1st 67, 2nd 6, 3rd 67’ Provenance: presented to Mrs Franklin Thomas, Lady Captain of Radyr in 1909 and by descent, two newspaper cuttings Auctioneer’s Note: Harry Vardon (1870-1937) played at Radyr in mid-Summer of 1903 with the other two most famous golfers of the time, James Braid and John Henry Taylor, who made up the ‘Great Triumvirate’. Harry Vardon, originally from Jersey, was Open Champion six times between 1896 and 1914, and also US Open Champion in 1900. Vardon was responsible for popularising the grip which is now almost universally used by golfers of all standards and was the first professional golfer to play in knickerbockers - discarding the proper’ dress of an Englishman in an uncomfortable shirt and tie with a buttoned jacket. Later he became a golf course architect, designing several courses in Britain including Llandrindod Wells, Woodhall Spa and Radcliffeon-Trent. The PGA of America created the Vardon Trophy, now awarded annually to the player on the PGA Tour with the year’s lowest adjusted scoring average and the British PGA created the Harry Vardon Trophy which now serves as the award for the winner of the European Tour’s Race to Dubai. Vardon’s 1903 visit to Radyr is well described in ‘Playing Through Time - 100 Years of Golf at Radyr 1902-2002’ by Ron Jones (2002). The other recorded visit from Vardon was in 1908 when he and James Braid played a second exhibition match at the Club. But the date of March 3rd 1909 on the ball are somewhat of a mystery, but it is not inconceivable that Vardon revisited the course in 1909 or came for a social visit and recalled his score from the previous year. Comments: ball in good condition, wear to ink marks £300-500

Rogers Jones & Co
COMPANY TERMS & CONDITIONS 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) INFORMATION FOR BUYERS AT AUCTIONS 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.

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 the symbol next to the lot number. 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%

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.

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. 17.7 These Terms of Sale and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including any non-contractual claims or disputes) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the British law and British courts.
