The history of ceramics in the Kwa Zulu province of South Africa originates with the Zulu tribal practice of making ceramics for food storage. For over 1000 years, the Zulu people have been making pottery. Ceramic vessels for beer storage are an integral part of Zulu culture since ritual beer drinking takes place in every aspect of the customary Zulu life. Beer is used to introduce a new child to the family’s ancestors, at all marriage ceremonies as well as burial ceremonies. The beer is also used as a medium to evoke the ancestors – it is served in a pot and left overnight in the back of the hut for the ancestor. Beer was even used as a form of economic exchange. It is the essence of hospitality and commonality. From this tradition of pot making, the skill of ceramic production was passed down from one generation to the next. In the last quarter of the 20th century, a cottage ceramic industry emerge in Kwa Zulu Natal. The art works contained in this sale represent a fine cross section of styles of the artists in this region.

Furthermore, many of the current potters who continue to utilize these traditional techniques have become the backbone of their communities, supporting and improving basic necessities and lifestyles. These skilled artisans often face challenging conditions, such as having to walk long distances of over 500 meters to fetch water for their families and for use in their pottery production.

Despite these hardships, they persevere and contribute significantly to their communities by preserving their cultural heritage and creating beautiful ceramics that not only serve practical purposes but also showcase their artistic talents. These potters play a vital role in sustaining the cultural and economic fabric of the Kwa Zulu province in South Africa.

Some of the main studios that have emerged from this region include Ardmore Ceramics, LoveArt Ceramics, Senzo Duma, and Wiseman, among others. These studios have gained recognition for their exceptional craftsmanship and unique artistic styles. Their works often showcase a fusion of African nature themes, whimsical elements, and traditional textures.

There is strict liability for the accuracy of descriptions under modern consumer legislation and in some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuracies occur. We will assume that you have approved the catalogue description of your lots unless informed to the contrary. Where we are obliged to return the price to the buyer when the lot is a deliberate forgery under Condition 4 of the Conditions of Sale and we have accounted to you for the proceeds of sale you agree to reimburse us the sale proceeds.

12. UNSOLD ITEMS

If an item is unsold it may at our discretion be re-offered at a future sale. Where in our opinion an item is unsaleable you must collect such items from the saleroom promptly on being so informed. Otherwise, storage charges may be incurred.

13. WITHDRAWN AND BOUGHT IN ITEMS

These are liable to incur charges on being bought in or withdrawn after being catalogued.

14. CONDITIONS OF SALE

You agree that all goods will be sold subject to our Conditions of Sale. In particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goods either as owner or agent for the owner. You undertake to compensate us and any buyer or third party for all losses, liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of this undertaking.

15. AUTHORITY TO DEDUCT COMMISSION AND EXPENSES AND RETAIN PREMIUM AND INTEREST

You authorise us to deduct commission at the stated rate and all expenses incurred from your account from the hammer price and consent to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the buyer in accordance with our Conditions of Sale and any interest earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement. You authorise us at our discretion to negotiate a sale by private treaty not later than the close of business 48 hours after the day of sale in the case of lots unsold at auction, in which case the same charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction and so far as appropriate these Terms apply.

17. STORAGE

We disclaim all liability for goods delivered to our saleroom without sufficient sale instructions and reserve the right to make storage charges.

18. SETTLEMENT

Subject to funds having cleared in our account we aim to pay you no later than four weeks following the sale. If the buyer has not paid for the goods no settlement will be made but we will take your instructions in the light of our Conditions of Sale. You authorise any sums owed by you to us on other transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds. Please note the liability to reimburse the proceeds of sale to us as under the circumstances provided for in Condition 11 above and you should therefore bear this in mind before parting with the proceeds of sale.

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS

1. INTRODUCTION

The following notes are intended to assist buyers particularly those who may be inexperienced or new to our saleroom. All sales are conducted in accordance with our Conditions of Sale. Our staff will be happy to help you with anything you do not fully understand.

2. AGENCY

As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly, if you buy your primary contract is with the seller.

3. THE BUYER

The highest bidder acknowledged as such by the auctioneer will be the buyer. If any dispute arises, the auctioneer has absolute discretion to settle the matter. The auctioneer rules the bidding and bids cannot be retracted. The auctioneer reserves the right to refuse any bid.

The successful bidder, whether bidding for himself or for a third party, is entirely responsible for paying for the lots they have bought in accordance with Kinghams’s Conditions of Sale and Business. The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of the sellers for any lot and to withdraw, consolidate or divide any lot or lots.

4. REGISTRATION

Unless registered already on a bidding platform, it is essential that all prospective buyers register with us, giving their full name, address, contact telephone number(s) and email address. First time buyers will be required to provide proof of identity (i.e. driving licence/passport), a valid debit or credit card and a copy of a utility bill confirming their name and address. Upon receipt of the above a paddle will be issued, which is only valid for the current sale. The paddle may be used to indicate your bids to the Auctioneer during the sale. If successful, the bidder must ensure that their number can be seen by the Auctioneer and that it is their number that is called out. Should there be any doubts as to price or buyer, please draw the Auctioneer’s attention to it immediately.

5. BUYER’S PREMIUM - COMMISSION CHARGES

There is a buyer’s premium of 25% plus VAT on the hammer price of each lot up to and including £500,000. The buyer’s premium is 18% plus VAT on the hammer price of each lot on the excess of £500,001 up to and including £1,000,000. The buyer’s premium is 15% plus VAT on the hammer price of each lot on the excess of £1,000,001.

6. VALUE ADDED TAX

Lots on which the buyer may have to pay VAT on the ‘hammer price’ are indicated in the catalogue with the following symbol *. The buyer must pay this VAT at the rates that apply on the day of the auction in addition to the buyer’s premium and VAT thereon.

7. AUCTIONEERS MARGIN SCHEME

This scheme allows auctioneers to sell items without VAT on the hammer price. The buyer then pays an amount equivalent to VAT. This amount cannot be refunded and is not shown separately on the invoice.

8. PAYMENT

Buyers must pay in full before items can be removed from the premises (please see “payment methods” below).

Invoices will be issued from the day of the sale. Buyers must pay their invoice in full within 24 hours and advise when they will be collecting their item(s). Any invoices which remain unpaid after seven days will incur interest at 5% above the base rate, charged from the date of the sale. If buyers are unknown to us, we cannot hand over purchases unless we have adequate references or payment is cleared.

11. COMMISSION BIDS

If instructed, Kinghams will execute bids and advise prospective buyers. This service is free.

Buyers who cannot come to a sale may leave their bid with our staff after/during viewing, or make their bid in advance by telephone or email (enquiries@kinghamandormeauctioneers.com). Such bids are placed at the buyer’s own risk.

Bids must be made at least one hour before the sale starts, but we advise buyers to make bids at the earliest possible opportunity. When making bids, buyers must provide:

Their full name

Address

Email address

Contact telephone numbers

The number of the lot they wish to buy

Their maximum bid amount – excluding commission which will be added to the invoice afterwards

Buyers must state what their maximum bid would be. We cannot accept an instruction to ‘buy’ or unlimited bid.

We will ensure that lots are bought as cheaply as possible depending on the bids made and other reserves. If identical bids are placed, they will be dealt with on a “first come first served” basis.

12. TELEPHONE BIDS

Lines for telephone bidding should be booked 24 hours before the auction. Lines are booked on a “first come first served basis.” Full name, address and telephone numbers will be required together with proof of identity and address. Bank and credit/debit card details are also necessary to secure the line.

13. DATA PROTECTION

Kinghams will use information provided by its clients or obtained by Kinghams relating to its clients for the provision of auction services or as required by law. Kinghams may need to record telephone conversations for security or legal reasons or as necessary to provide a higher quality of service. Clients agree that Kinghams may use sensitive information that they supply to Kinghams. Unless permitted by law, Kinghams will not otherwise process sensitive personal data without express consent. By agreeing to the Conditions of Sale and Business, clients agree to the processing of their personal information.

14. STORAGE AND COLLECTION

Please note all items after the auction will be removed to store. Arrangements for collection can be made with the office.

15. ELECTRICAL GOODS AND SOFT FURNISHINGS

These are sold as ‘antiques’ only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations.

16. EXPORT OF GOODS

Buyers intending to export goods should check whether an export licence is required and whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if you need help.

17. PACKING AND DESPATCH

We offer a packing and despatch service for smaller lots. We also use national and local carriers. Further details can be obtained from our office.

18. DROIT DE SUITE ROYALTY CHARGES

A work of art by a living artist, or those who have died within the last 70 years, which costs more than the UK sterling equivalent of €1,000 will incur a royalty charge. We pass this payment onto the Design and Artists Copyright Society (DACS), and do not charge a handling fee. Buyers can calculate royalty charges on the DACS website.

Items marked with the † symbol in the catalogue will potentially incur royalty payments.

We use the euro to UK sterling exchange rate which applies on the day of the sale. It is the buyer’s responsibility to check the relevant exchange rate. The actual qualifying threshold is calculated by the Artist’s Resale Right Service Hub based on the European Central Bank reference rate published at 2.15pm on the day of the sale, and can be found on the DACS website. The royalty charge for pictures which achieve a hammer price of more than the UK sterling equivalent of €1,000, but less that the UK sterling equivalent of €50,000 is 4%. On works of art that achieve a hammer price of more than the UK sterling equivalent of €50,000 a sliding scale of royalty charges applies. For a complete list of the royalty charges and threshold levels please download more information from the DACS website. The royalty charge is added to invoices, and must be paid before purchases are removed. VAT is not paid on royalty charges.
