‘Michael Berthoud had three great loves in his life, his family, his cats, and his English Porcelain’
Michael Berthoud had three great loves in his life, his family, wife Molly, their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, his cats, and English Porcelain.
It would be invidious to attempt to place these in order of importance, but it would be true to say that the pots of Henry and Richard Daniel would be high on that list.
He found his first piece a rather unprepossessing cup and saucer in a junk shop in Worthing in 1972. In the following years from his base in Kent and more recently in Shropshire, many parts of the country were explored in the search for other specimens.
Early on, a dealer with an enormous stock of mostly damaged porcelain explained to him the two main groupings as understood at that time. There was Rockingham (pronounced Rock’nm) and “best Rockingham”. The former with gilding and the latter with landscapes or flowers. Scholarship has advanced considerably since those days.
The publication of an article in the Art and Antiques magazine in 1976 by Geoffrey Godden encouraged Michael to believe that his own researches were advanced enough to make the publication of a monograph viable and this appeared in 1980.
That this would lead to the formation of a thriving research and collecting society gave him enormous pleasure, as the sharing of knowledge was of the greatest importance to him.
I hope that the return to the market through Halls of a collection formed with as much an eye for visual delight as much as study potential would have further pleased him.
As Michael wrote in the forward to his book “this is an attempt to redress the balance and to restore Henry Daniel and his works to their rightful place in English ceramic history – not far below the summit “

Pierre Frederic Ingold (1787-1847) was a watchmaker working in Switzerland, Paris and London. He was a pioneer of mass production and after working with Breguet in Paris he returned to Switzerland to develop techniques for mechanising watchmaking methods. Returning to Paris in 1835 he established the Compagnie d’Horologerie
Parisienne at Palais Royal where the present lot was made. An unsuccessful dalliance with the British watch industry might well have transformed the business were it not for the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers who feared Ingold’s venture would threaten their livelihoods and so blocked the act of parliament that he needed to secure funding. Ingold had much more success in America, however, settling in Boston where mechanisation had already been established. Consequently, the USA and Switzerland led the world in fast, high quality watchmaking while Britain lagged behind, holding on to traditional methods which proved too slow and too expensive.

Samuel Roberts is a well documented clock maker of Llanfair Caereinion in the Montgomeryshire region, now Powys, active between 1750 and the 1780s. Records indicate that he crafted some six hundred pieces, roughly twenty per year, earning him an average of £35 per year. To serve the local community, Roberts established a ‘clock club’ with customers paying by installments and entering a lottery for each clock as it was completed. Some of the cases were made by Roberts’ neighbour, the joiner John Lloyd who, unusually for the period, attached paper labels. The present lot is thus labelled. Two further Samuel Roberts clocks were sold in these rooms:
1 September 2021, lot 368 which sold for £2,600 (+fees); and
12 December 2018, lot 527 which sold for £2,800 (+fees).

Bronze cup, Royal tombs of Ur, Mesopotamia, circa 2600 BC

According to the quarterly journal of Biblical Archaeology, Buried History, Vol.8, No.3, this cup is one of several that was found in the burial pit of Queen Pu-abi or Ur. The tomb was excavated by British archaeologist, Leonard Woolley, between 1922 and 1934 and was jointly sponsored by The British Museum and the University of Pennsylvania Museum; the finds are split between the two. Queen Pu-abi’s tomb was unique in that it had not been looted and in the array of burial goods that accompanied her. These included a heavy, golden headdress made of golden leaves, rings and plates; a superb lyre complete with a golden and lapis lazuliencrusted bearded bull’s head; a profusion of gold tableware; golden, carnelian, and lapis lazuli cylindrical beads used in extravagant necklaces and belts; a chariot adorned with lioness heads in silver, and an abundance of silver, lapis lazuli, and golden rings and bracelets, as well as her headdress, a belt made of gold rings, carnelian and lapis beads, and other various rings and earrings. Also accompanying the burial of the queen were the remains of 52 attendants who it seems were ritually killed in order to accompany the Queen into the afterlife. For information on the royal tombs of Ur see: Leonard Woolley Ur of the Chaldees: A Record of Seven Years of Excavation, 1954.

Alabaster vessels were used throughout the history of ancient Egypt, but they were particularly popular, and reached a level of craftsmanship, that defines the pre and early dynastic periods of Egypt. The stone is mainly found in Middle Egypt, particularly between Miniya and Asiut. The best known and most important source was the Hatnub quarries, near El-Amarna. Because of its colour and durability, alabaster was regarded as a pure stone and used for a variety of items, such as chapels, pavements in temples, sarcophagi, altars, statues and vessels for use by the Egyptian elite. Large numbers of alabaster vessels were placed in the tombs of the rich during the Old Kingdom, and likely contained foodstuff and unguents. For a description of alabaster vessels in Old Kingdom Egypt, see: Dorothea Arnold, When the Pyramids Were Built: Egyptian Art of the Old Kingdom, 1999

The khepresh crown, also known as the war crown, became popular at the start of the New Kingdom and is mostly seen being worn by pharaohs engaged in battle, but also engaged in ceremonies. No original khepresh crown has been discovered but based on the representations of them it is believed it was made of stiffened leather that had been dyed blue and covered with a precise arrangement of hundreds of sequins, discs, bosses, or rings. Despite the regularity of the crown being depicted in battle scenes, it is thought that the crown was also meant to evoke the divine power of the pharaoh and was thereby worn to religiously situate kings as manifestations of gods on earth. The uraeus cobra to the front of the crown, and commonly seen on depictions of royalty and gods, represents the goddess Wadjet who was believed to sit on the brow of the king and magically protect him by spitting fire. The style of the carving suggests that the head represents a pharaoh of the 20th dynasty which is generally considered to be the start of the decline of Ancient Egypt. The period is marked by civil war and the loss of pharaonic power to the High Priests of Amun. The pharaohs would move their capital from Thebes to the delta region of the north, and the ancient capital of Heliopolis, leaving the priests of Amun in control of much of the country. The period is also marked by droughts and famine, as well as raids by the Libyans. For a similar example see: The Penn Museum, accession no. E14303

The style is consistent with the Phoenicians who had a presence on Cyprus in the 2nd millennium BC. Similar examples of the papyri-form capitals can be seen in the Nimrud ivories, now in the British Museum. The style of the heads is also consistent with Phoenician types which borrow from Egyptian artistic conventions. The hole to the base indicates that it would have been inserted into a shaft, either that of a sceptre, or a miniature column for a small shrine or possibly a mirror. The possibility that this is part of a mirror handle is born out by similar, papyri form handles, found on Egyptian mirrors.

Taprell, Holland & Son traded from 1835 until 1843 and was registered at 19 Mary-le-bone Street from 1817-1851. Not much is known about Stephen Taprell, the senior partner, but there was a family connection with William and Henry Holland, the Regency architect. By 1824 Taprell and Holland were highly regarded and this led to their first well known commission, the Athenaeum (182438). Up until 1840 they supplied furniture to Arundel Castle, Harewood House, Ickworth and 7 clubs. William Holland took over the company in 1843. This firm became one of the best furnishing companies of the Victorian era and operated until 1842. Beard, G, Dictionary of English Furniture Makers, published 1986, page 871.

If payment is made before this can take place the buyer may end up paying for a cancelation initially, as our bank will not accept payments before the necessary due diligence checks are made.
1. Definitions. In these Conditions Halls Holdings Limited act only as auctioneers and agents for the seller and the representative of Halls Holdings Limited conducting the auction is called the “Auctioneer”.
2. General. Whilst Halls Holdings Limited make every effort to ensure the accuracy of their catalogues and the description of any lot:-
a. Each lot as set out in the catalogue or as divided or combined with any other lot or lots sold by the seller with all faults, imperfections and errors of description.
b. Halls Holdings Limited do not accept responsibility for the authenticity, attribution, genuineness, origin, authorship, date, age, period, condition or quality of any lot unless they have been instructed in writing by the seller to so certify, and in such case the auctioneers do so as agents of the seller and are not themselves responsible for such claims.
c. All statements whether printed in the catalogue or made orally as to any of the matters set out in (b) above are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representations of fact by Halls Holdings Limited unless they have been instructed in writing by the seller to so certify.
d. Any claim under any Statute must be received in writing by the Auctioneers within ten days of the day of the sale.
3. The Auction.
a. The Auctioneer has absolute discretion to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot or lots from the sale, to refuse bids, regulate bidding or cancel the sale without in any case giving any reason or without previous notice. He may bid on behalf of the seller for all goods which are being offered subject to reserve or at the
auctioneer’s discretion.
b. The highest bidder shall be the buyer except in the case of a dispute. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid.

c. Each lot is put up for sale subject to any reserve price placed by the seller.

The seller and the buyer agree to be bound by Halls Holdings Limited’s decision.
5. Default. Halls Holdings Limited disclaim responsibility for default by either the buyer or the seller because they act as agents for the seller only and therefore do not pay out to the seller until payment is received from the buyer.

Collection or shipping arrangements for lots can be made from midday on the next working day after the auction. Halls Fine Art are a small team so unfortunately has neither the staff, nor the facilities to provide a comprehensive packaging service, meeting buyer’s or carriers’ various
stipulations regarding box sizes and materials.

Prospective buyers please note that lots marked with ◉ may be subject to VAT on the hammer price.
Prospective buyers should note that although every effort is made to note repairs, restoration and damage in the catalogue descriptions, a lack of any such note should not be taken to imply that the lot is in perfect condition.
Prospective watch buyers should note that the working order of watches is not guaranteed. All weights stated in the catalogue are approximate only, these figures are for reference only and prospective buyers should satisfy themselves as to the accuracy.
Prospective buyers please note that we do not guarantee amber as being naturally formed and all or parts may be reconstituted. The colour of the amber may vary from the catalogue or online illustration.
Prospective buyers are reminded that coloured gemstones have historically been treated to enhance their appearance. A variety of methods have been, and are currently used to improve both transparency and colour of various gemstones. All yellow and white metals have not been tested. The International Jewellery Trade generally accept these methods. It is not possible for Halls to obtain gemmological reports on all stones offered for sale and therefore all Halls Holding’s estimates assume that gemstones have been enhanced.
Prospective buyers should be aware that general wear to include; creasing, light foxing, small tears, bumped corners, worn boards or weak spine/joints, will not be specified in the catalogue descriptions. Any substantial losses/wear to include detached boards, detached spines or extensive graffiti will be described as ‘at fault’.
Prospective buyers must satisfy themselves with a condition report prior to bidding, Halls Holdings can take no responsibility for condition of purchased lots if condition reports were not requested.

Detailed condition reports and email images can be obtained on request until 4.30pm the day prior to the sale.
What is buyer’s premium?
All UK auctioneers charge a premium in addition to the hammer price. Halls’ Buyer’s Premium is 24% plus VAT for the first £500,000 and 12% above £500,000 per lot
Can I ask questions about lots before the auction?
You can ask for further details and extra images about any lots in our sales and this is especially important if you cannot view the lot in person. We don’t detail condition in our catalogue descriptions and so recommend asking for a condition report and additional images. Our reports provide a general guide to the condition of a lot but are not a forensic examination and so a physical inspection by you or an appointed agent is ideal.
To request a condition report go to the lot of interest and click on the ‘Request a condition report’ button or email fineart@hallsgb.com. Condition reports are always given in writing.
To bid in any one of our auctions we require all potential buyers to register and provide two forms of identification. This is to comply with existing Anti-Money Laundering Regulations. All our clients need to provide photo ID and proof of name and address by providing the following:
