R & G McPHERSON
R & G McPherson Antiques was started by a 15 year old collector. The idea behind it was that it would fund his growing collection. Robert McPherson’s stall at Camden Passage opened on the 25th of May 1980. The stall did very well but during this period he started studying the conservation of prints and drawings at the Camberwell School of Art in London - after all his mother had said he should get a 'proper' job. Being a conservator at a museum certainly would have been a proper job, but Robert's real interest was always with the objects themselves.
So when he was 19, Robert moved indoors with his childhood friend David Glick to Grays Antiques Market, near Bond Street in central London. It was at this time he became a specialist in Chinese ceramics and again worked on his own. His business soon expanded and his stand at Grays doubled in size. He then moved to Kensington Church Street in 1991, but it was not until he married Georgina that having his own shop became possible.
Georgina has always been interested in antiques, but she had also worked in business as an administrator, and later as a ceramics restorer. Her skills complemented Robert’s perfectly. In 2001, she became a Joint Partner and R & G McPherson Antiques was formed.
In January 2003 Robert and Georgina realised their dream, opening their shop at No. 40, Kensington Church Street, in London. From late September of this year their shop lease ends, and they will deal online from their website www.orientalceramics.com, as well as doing exhibitions in London.
GARRY ATKINS
After pursuing a successful career in the financial world where he became a senior partner in an insurance firm, Garry Atkins took an interest in dealing over 20 years ago. He started his own business in 1987 and, with his wife Julie, established his premises in Kensington Church Street in 1991. He quickly became one of the best known and knowledgeable dealers in the field of 17th and 18th century English pottery, concentrating on early delftwares, saltglazed stoneware and creamwares.
In March 2005, the lease on his popular shop expired and he decided to deal by appointment only. He will continue to exhibit at The New York Ceramic Fair and Eight Days in June at 66c Kensington Church Street.

FORTHCOMING EXHIBITIONS AND EVENTS
-6-
Eight Days in June Eight Days in June can be seen as a serious, specialised event. Well, on one level it is, but it can also be seen as an excuse for collectors and colleagues from around the world to meet up and have a good time. It is the perfect occasion to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. At its heart is a true love of ceramics and a never-ending quest for knowledge. The participants are a group of people who have known each other for years, or more accurately decades, and who enjoy coming together to share their enthusiasm and expertise in ceramics with like-minded people.
The range of exhibits offered for sale has always been extensive, from a thickly potted 18th century slipware dish with the finger marks of the potter on the back and a runny treacly glaze, to a tiny, perfectly formed, fragile Chelsea scent bottle. This year sees the scope of pieces on show widen further with the inclusion of R & G McPherson Antiques, the Oriental specialists. While many of the wares presented by the existing participants are based on Chinese and Japanese designs, the Oriental ceramics will all be Export Porcelain, so a lot of these pieces will be copying English shapes and designs, some of which will themselves be based on Oriental models. We hope this will promote a spirited debate. The Eight Days in June website, www.eightdaysinjune.com, has been updated and we will be adding more things of interest to it in the future
We all hope you will join us during our eight-day celebration of ceramics. If previous years are anything to go by, it will be lively and great fun. And, for those of you who are keen enough to queue up for the opening from the early hours, we hope the weather will be kind. -7-
RODERICK JELLICOE
This year we have a varied selection of English porcelain for Eight Days in June starting with a good offering of Worcester that includes a fine pair of Worcester figures of a Turk and his companion (1) standing in traditional dress. The base of one figure is impressed with the letters 'IT'. (Provenance: The T. Grant Dixon Collection). The early Worcester hexagonal cream jug with an angular handle (2) is crisply moulded with a geranium leaf below the lip and rococo scrollwork panels containing 'Smoky Primitive' prints of rustic buildings and a fortress. (Provenance: Jas.A Lewis & Son. New York). The Bow bell shaped mug (3) is exceptionally rare, only a handful are known decorated with this print of the King of Prussia on horseback. It is titled on the front ‘the PRUSSIAN HERO’, with military trophies on the reverse.
We have several pieces of Worcester decorated by James Giles including two pairs of plates (4-5). One pair is finely painted with flowers, the other is decorated with large spectacular ‘Fancy Birds’ with fruit and insects in the border. Also decorated with birds of a different kind, are the rare Derby guglet and coffee pot (6-7). The Chelsea tureen (8) is an exceptionally monumental piece and appears to be unrecorded in literature. It is painted with floral bouquets and a large dragon fly accompanied by other exotic insects.
The St James’s (Girl in a Swing) faceted cream boat from Charles Gouyn's factory is exceptionally rare (9); it is painted with two sprays of flowers and leaves with smaller sprays and sprigs. The main output of this factory was figures and scent bottles, teawares being especially rare. Only about sixteen surviving pieces are known, nine of which are in the Victoria & Albert Museum.
Blue ground Worcester and Gold Anchor Chelsea are making a comeback after years of neglect as collectors have tended to opt for the earlier academic pieces from these factories. Today they represent good value as they are still relatively less expensive than they were forty or fifty years ago. When these pieces were produced they where highly prized for their quality. The skill and technical expertise of the lavish decoration embellished on some of these pieces could not be matched today and the cost of such work would be prohibitive. There are a large pair of Chelsea blue ground beakers (10) with bird painting and some bell shaped cups (11) painted with putti in various pursuits (Provenance: The Peter Chance Collection). The artist responsible for decorating these cups has not yet been recognised, but they are quite exquisite. The large pair of two handled covered cups (12) are also finely decorated with Teniers type figures of children with musical instruments, courting and gardening. (Provenance: The Baroness Burton Collection and The Peter Chance Collection). The Worcester blue scale chocolate cup and saucer with two pierced handles is very rare (13), the shaped reserves with rococo gilded borders are painted with Chinese figures playing musical instruments. (Provenance: Arkwright Collection, Hampton Court, Shropshire. The Arkwright family, inventors of the Spinning Jenny). I feel provenance is an important part of collecting as it enables us to identify where an object has been and which collection it has graced. Provenance doesn’t come any better than the next piece, a Chelsea gold anchor plate (14) from the celebrated Mecklenburg-Strelitz Service which was ordered by King George III and Queen Charlotte in 1762 as a gift to her brother Duke Adolphus Frederick IV of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, at the cost of twelve hundred pounds. The service was returned to the Royal collection in 1948, although a few pieces had escaped. Shown alongside the Mecklenburg-Strelitz plate is another plate from a second service with similar shaped rim which was made at Chelsea in 1764 and advertised as ‘the last that will be made of the Pottery’.
As always we are restricted by space in the catalogue and a selection of the blue and white on offer is shown on pages 16-17. -8-

SIMON SPERO
The Chelsea Goat and Bee creamjug, no. 1, is perhaps the most iconic and idiosyncratic of all pieces of early English porcelain. It stands apart from the mainstream production of the triangle period, both in the delicacy and thinness of its potting and in the intricacy and incongruity of its design, conceived perhaps as a promotional device, with no pretensions to utility. For consumers accustomed only to the available Chinese porcelain, it must indeed have provided a fascinating source of both curiosity and admiration.
Hardly less innovative in its conception is the fine Longton Hall bowl and stand, no. 2, painted by the anonymous ‘Castle Painter’, an example of what might be termed provincial rococo, inspired by Meissen but modulated in a distinctly Staffordshire rhythm. Envisaged for the dessert course, the asymmetric contours of the bowl fit unexpectedly comfortably around the fingers as a practical pouring vessel.
The theme of my Spring exhibition this year was Bow porcelain from the 1750s. The 50 exhibits were drawn from an extensive collection of over 120 pieces and a further selection is included in my display for Eight Days in June. As in the exhibition, botanical decoration features prominently. Somewhat rarer than its Chelsea counterparts, Bow botanical decoration tends to be executed with more freedom and fluidity and in some respects, with more artistic assuredness. The delightful pair of octagonal dishes, no. 3, depicts roses with related leaves, but an incorrect number of leaflets. A more exuberant style, still further removed from the more familiar Chelsea idiom, is evident on the small Bow plate, no. 4. The courgette with yellow flowers, leaves and tendrils is quite accurately depicted, the tendrils laid out with a rococo flourish. More problematical is the octagonal dish, no. 5, which may be either Anemone Coronaria or more possibly Paeonia lactiflora, although the leaves are more rose-like and the buds grafted on from another plant.
These naturalistic themes, conceived for the dessert course, are echoed by the striking pair of Bow partridge boxes, no. 6. The seated lions, no. 7, sharing both the period and the palette of ‘The Muses Modeller’, are altogether more fearsome and wild-eyed than their benign undecorated counterparts. They are accompanied by a group of smaller Bow animals comprising a slightly mournful hound, no. 8, a recumbent calf, no. 9, and a diminutive monkey engaged in eating a nut, no. 10.
From a recently purchased collection of blue and white porcelain comes an exceedingly rare Longton Hall coffee jug, no. 11, a Worcester bowl decorated with the celebrated ‘Eloping Bride’ pattern, no. 12, and a beautifully potted teabowl and saucer painted in the unaffected sketchy manner so characteristic of Vauxhall, no. 13. And, as a lifelong collector of blue and white porcelain, should I be reluctantly confined to one single piece, I would happily choose the wonderful early Lowestoft cider jug, no. 14. It encompasses in its majestic contours and artless uninhibited decoration, all that I admire in a piece of English blue and white. -18-

R & G McPHERSON
We are very pleased to have been invited to join Eight Days in June, an event which we have enjoyed going to since its start. As new participants dealing in oriental ceramics, we thought it would be interesting to organise an exhibition that complements the themes running through Eight Days in June. So we have spent the last year putting together our exhibits which reflect Western taste: Chinese and Japanese Export Porcelain.
Many of the pieces on offer have designs and forms based on European originals and some were even decorated in Europe. Nos. 5 a, b and c, and 7 were decorated in London, probably in the workshop of James Giles; there are also two cups with decoration attributed to James Rogers (see our online catalogue). We have a rare, apparently unrecorded, Dutch decorated bowl, no. 6. This is painted with scenes relating to weighing and taxation of butter in Holland (see our online catalogue for more information). We also include Chinese porcelain that was copied by Western potters, for example no. 13, the pair of large Blanc de Chine birds dating to the Kangxi period (1662-1722). These relate closely to an interesting English salt-glazed stoneware bird, described as a ‘Wading Bird’ and dated to c.1750-1760, (Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, Dr. J. W. L. Glaisher Bequest C812-1928).
Pieces commissioned for the West include an apparently unrecorded, ‘Sailor’s Farewell’ bowl, no. 1. This was made for the English market and bears the name ‘Elizabeth Darling’ and the date 1757 on the interior in gold. The bowl, no. 3, with black decoration showing two hands clasped under a crown, is somewhat of a mystery. Again, apparently unrecorded, the painting appears to look like an engraving. We also have a group of porcelain from the collection of Augustus II (1670-1733) King of Poland and Elector of Saxony, known as Augustus the Strong. The illustrated example, no. 10, is a pair of French-style Chinese Imari seaux à rafraîchir (wine coolers).
There are many European-subject pieces, including two unusual mid18th century blue and white beakers and saucers, with a design based on an illustration from A Compleat History of Drugs, London 1712, by Pierre Pomet, showing a pineapple and a branch of cloves.
To view these together with the whole exhibition, including extensive descriptions, references and photographs, please access our website, www.orientalceramics.com. We very much hope you can come to our shop to see the exhibition. -28-

GARRY ATKINS
This year’s Eight Days in June now encompasses oriental ceramics and many of our exhibits have a Chinese theme which mirrors the originals.
Tin-glazed earthenware blue dash chargers were produced for about 100 years from the mid 1600s, and provincial pottery centres such as Bristol carried on the tradition long after metropolitan taste had moved on. George II is depicted on No. 1, with full regalia for his coronation in October 1727, surrounded by sponged trees, typical of the later, rather formulaic treatment of this type of subject. Both Dutch and English delftwares of the 17th century were hugely influenced by imported Ming wares, and the blue and white patterns have been skilfully adapted on the flower bowl, No. 2, and the posset pot No. 3. The birds among foliage have been painted by an expert hand and serve to draw the eye away from the ponderous shapes of the pottery which is so remote from the fragility of the porcelain being copied.
Drug jars were important objects in the 17th century, and much attention was devoted to the decorative potential of the label. No. 4 is unusually large with a fine ‘pipe smokers’ design advertising Conserve of Chicory, a mild laxative which was no doubt in great demand. A whiff of scandal attaches itself to the electioneering plate, No. 5, in support of Thomas Cresswell, MP for Wootton Bassett, who was involved in a law suit due to a bigamous marriage. He was described at the time as “base and unmanly”, something which could not possibly happen today!
The early 18th century London tin-glazed plate, No. 6, is amusingly decorated with an alluring mermaid and the marine theme is continued by No. 7, two delightful Liverpool wall pockets in the shape of fish. The few that are known all face the same way, so were not, strictly speaking, manufactured in pairs. Also from Liverpool are a rare chinoiserie plate, No. 8, with exquisite famille rose decoration, and four tiles, No. 9, with whimsical oriental figures, surrounded by ‘fish roe’ borders and ‘michaelmas daisy’ corners. Continuing the chinoiserie theme, the Elers brother in the 1690s developed an imitation Chinese redware which perhaps surpasses its precursor. The tiny tea canister No. 13, is perfect in its execution, and includes a seal mark on the underside.
The saltglazed stoneware jug, No. 10, makes use of bright enamels for its appeal, but the two spoon trays, Nos. 11 and 12, use the colour of the clay. Various decorative techniques are used on the creamware pieces. The charming model of a hare, No. 14, is brought to life with soft underglaze tones, whilst the caddy, No. 15, is ornamented in relief with the fable of ‘The Fox and the Stork’ from Aesop’s fables, highlighted in enamel colours. Improving subject matter also features on the extremely rare Greatbatch coffee pot and cover, No. 16, with printed scenes from ‘The Prodigal Son’. The late 18th century pearlware jug, No. 17, is also printed with a humorous caricature of Signor Gruntinelli playing the latest instrument called a ‘Swinetta’, in reality a live pig with its tail being pulled. The dial, No. 18, from the same period, is an extremely rare and somewhat impractical survivor from a long case clock, which would generally have a painted or enamelled face. -38-

R&G MCPHERSON
This year Robert and Georgina will be making the biggest change to their business since it started in 1980, they had been planning to make this change for several years. As they knew their shop lease expires at the end of September, it seemed to be the perfect time for them to start dealing solely online. They will build up their already successful website www.orientalceramics.com as a 'shop window' for their stock but also a useful research tool with articles, links and events. The connection with Kensington Church Street will not be entirely severed as they will be back twice a year to put on exhibitions as part of Eight Days in June in the summer and also in November to coincide with the major Oriental events in London.
