Increasingly popular, the most well-known of them include Stan ‘Woodpeckerman’ Dodds, Wilf ‘Squirrelman’ Hutchinson and Colin ‘Beaverman’ Almack.

Numerous important private collections of Mouseman have been sold at Tennants over the years, including the Library from Leeds Girls’ High School, the Boardroom from Grattans in Bradford, the contents of St Hilda’s Priory in Whitby, and property from Marco-Pierre White’s Rudloe Arms Hotel in Wiltshire

Richard Batterham (1936-2021) is one of the most important potters of the last fifty years, a master of his craft who quietly dedicated himself to produce an outstanding body of thrown stoneware pots from his Dorset studio.

Batterham was first introduced to pottery aged 13 at Bryanston School in Dorset, but it was a week-long visit to a country pottery in Surrey during a period of leave from National Service that was to set the course for his life. After leaving service, he served a two-year apprenticeship with Bernard Leach, the pre-eminent artist-potter of the 20th century, in his St Ives studio. Leach exerted the utmost influence on the development of studio pottery, and elevated ceramics to the status of the Fine Arts, challenging homogeneous mass-produced pottery. Leach drew heavily on influences from the Far East as well as British medieval and vernacular pottery, creating a style that filtered down to his students and followers including Batterham.

In 1959 Batterham set up his own studio in Durweston in Dorset, just a stone’s throw from his old school, where throughout his long career he never employed assistants, preferring to have complete control of his craft from mixing his own clay to firing the kiln. He was incredibly industrious and disciplined and was resolute in producing beautiful and functional objects that were not subject to passing fashions or external influences. Once he had established his style and technique as a young man, it remained largely unchanged, with forms and glazes instead going through a steady development and refinement process with no radical reinvention.

Marked by a quiet modernity and subtlety of form and decoration, Batterham’s style is immediately recognisable to collectors of studio pottery. The shapes of his pots were inspired by the practical needs of his young family, and he made no distinction in the quality of his work between objects for use and grand display pieces. Soft, rich iron, ash and salt glazes, refined over the long decades of his career, appear painterly and organic, whilst his careful and restrained surface decoration is deceptively simple. Fluid faceted cuts, gentle fluting, and simple lines of raised decoration highlight and exaggerate the harmonious shape of a vase or bowl. He created an extraordinary variety of pots through simple manipulation of the clay and glaze of his distinctive thrown forms.

Having slowly built a loyal customer base, by the mid-1960s he was gaining recognition as a fine potter, and in 1965 was give his first solo show at the Crafts Centre of Great Britain in London. However, he was never comfortable with publicising himself, and said about the attention after one exhibition: “Crafts are like wild animals; if you crowd round the water hole they creep further into the bush”. Instead, he had a quiet sense of selfbelief, going so far as to refuse to mark his work, regarding it as distinctive enough to be recognisable in its own right. Despite commercial success, Batterham continued to live simply and quietly in his Dorset home, thriving in and supporting his local community and its activities such as bellringing and beekeeping.

In 2022, shortly after his death, Batterham was honoured with a retrospective exhibition at the V&A of his elegant, understated pots, and today they are much sought-after by collectors.

Pilkington’s Tile and Pottery Company produced high quality, innovative and decorative pottery, flourishing during the last years of the 19th century and opening decades of the 20th century. Today, they are best remembered for their distinctive Royal Lancastrian range of elaborately decorated lustreware which is much prized by collectors.

The company was founded in Clifton on the outskirts of Manchester by the Pilkington family, who discovered a seam of clay when a two new shafts being sunk at their colliery hit a fault and flooded. Initially thinking they would make use of the clay by making bricks, they instead began making decorative tiles which were much in demand at the time. By happy accident, the Pilkington brothers met William Burton, a chemist working for Wedgwood. Burton was soon appointed manager, and a state-of-the-art pottery was built in Clifton in 1891. Using his connections in the Staffordshire potteries, Burton brought on board skilled craftsmen and influential designers.

This was an age of scientific advances, and technical experimentation in glazes began at the pottery under the leadership of Burton. They produced a range of new glazes over the years in a myriad of colours and textures, but it is their opalescent lustre glaze developed in 1903 for which they are best remembered. This new glaze was called ‘Lancastrian’ as a tribute to their origins outside of the stronghold of the Staffordshire potteries. Drawing heavily on Classical and Medieval designs, heavy weight designers of the day such as Walter Crane, C.F.A. Voysey and Lewis Day, as well as the pottery’s own in-house designers such as William S Mycock, Richard Joyce and Gordon Forsyth, created a range of designs incorporating Latin inscriptions, mythical and heraldic beasts, gods, and ships. Elaborate, gilded and highly decorative, the Lancastrian range became much sought after. The renown was sealed when they were awarded a Royal Warrant in 1913 after King George V and Queen Mary discovered their wares at the home of Lord Derby. Thereafter, the range was renamed Royal Lancastrian.

Creating fine pottery with experimental glazes was highly technical and production costs were high. Indeed, one large Royal Lancastrian pot could cost a month’s wages for the average worker. Their wares were popular amongst the burgeoning middle classes, and twinned with good publicity at exhibitions in London the firm went from strength to strength in the early 20th century. However, rising production costs and economic woes associated with the First World War led to a dramatic drop in sales. The firm struggled on producing art pottery with limited financial success until 1938; despite a brief resurgence in the middle of the 20th century Pilkington’s never replicated its glory days exemplified by their Royal Lancastrian wares.

Ronald Pennell (b.1935) is a British glass engraver, sculptor and artist. Born in Birmingham, he studied at the Birmingham School of Art before moving to Germany in 1957 to study gem engraving - the start of a long association with artists and arts education in Germany and Central Europe. The early stages of his career were focused on gem engraving, metal engraving, drawing and design, which included lecturing at Birmingham College of Art.

In 1977 he began to engrave onto glass, adapting his gem engraving techniques for a larger format. Just two years later, his work was chosen to be part of a touring exhibition by Corning Museum of Glass in New York, after which he achieved international recognition for his work. Examples of his metal work are held in the British Museum, and a major retrospective was held at the Wolverhampton Art Gallery in 1999.

Pennell’s glass engraving features a rich, complex yet playful iconography. A theme common in his work is the Everyman figure, often represented by the artist himself, watched over by his Jack Russell terrier. The Everyman battles against the forces of nature, often in the form of crocodiles (as in the present example), owls, women or mythical beings.

Archibald Knox (1864-1933) was one of the leading designers of the Arts & Crafts Movement. He is perhaps best remembered for the designs he produced for the iconic London department store Liberty & Co. Knox was born on the Isle of Man to Scottish parents, and his Celtic heritage exerted a powerful influence on the young designer. Not only did he introduce Celtic motifs into his designs, but he also became a published scholar of Manx Celtic crosses and standing stones and collected Manx artefacts.

Knox balanced a career teaching art and design with his work as a commercial designer. Having begun his career as both student and teacher at the Douglas School of Art, he moved to London in 1896 or 1897 to study under and work for leading designer Christopher Dresser. Following a period teaching and designing in London, Knox moved back to the Isle of Man at the turn of the century, where he produced hundreds of designs for Liberty, before returning to teaching.

These designs spanned across multiple mediums, from metalware to terracotta, jewellery to graphic design, all of which were then manufactured by specialist factories. None of the pieces are signed by Knox, as Liberty & Co had a strict policy of anonymity for their designers. Knox’s best-known designs were those he produced for their Cymric (precious metal) and Tudric (pewter) ranges.

Knox’s designs for Liberty & Co bridged the major art movements of the early 20th century. The Arts & Crafts pieces brought in motifs from the Art Nouveau, Celtic Revival and Modernist movements. He combined a strong sense of form and proportion with re-interpreted historic motifs to create stylish pieces that encapsulate the spirit of the era.

Stanley Webb Davies (1894-1978) was the epitome of an Arts and Crafts furniture maker. Working from his studio in Windermere, he strove to uphold the principles of the Arts and Crafts movement with his fine handmade furniture whilst constantly working to better society for all.

Davies was born into a wealthy mill-owning Quaker family in Darwen, Lancashire, and was educated at Bootham, a Quaker school in York, where he first discovered his love of and talent for woodwork. During his first year at Oxford, he was called up to serve in World War I, but after being turned down for exemption on religious grounds, he spent three years on non-combatant service constructing wooden huts for refugees in France with the Friends War Victims Relief Unit where he honed his woodworking skills. Returning home, he joined the family business, however, he yearned to be once more working with wood and he began his career as an apprentice to the renowned Hampshire furniture designer and craftsman Arthur Romney Green.

In 1923, with financial help from his father, he set up a workshop in Windermere, the South Lakes being a centre of excellence for the Arts and Crafts movement and where there was a thriving community of Quakers. Here he began making furniture in a simple, rural style. Davies soon married Emily, the daughter of a prominent Sheffield surgeon, and together they built a beautiful Arts and Crafts home filled with Davies’ furniture and Emily’s carvings. The home, which they called Gatesbield (which means a shelter for small animals), was left after their deaths to a Quaker Housing Association to provide accommodation for those in need. Davies created simple, eminently practical furniture without unnecessary adornment, borrowing construction techniques and stylistic elements from traditional rural objects and influenced by the likes of Ernest Gimson and Sidney Barnsley. Yet everything he made was very carefully designed, with each piece meticulously drawn to scale. Indeed, an archive of over three thousand of his drawings is now held in the Abbot Hall Gallery, Kendal and he was determined to never make exactly the same piece twice. Whilst it seems that his team of craftsmen never had a hand in the designing of the furniture, they were encouraged to put their own maker’s mark on pieces that they had made. Amongst his longest serving craftsmen in his happy and fair workshop were Brian Rickett, Ernest Oldcorn, Fred Ellison and Richard Cloudsdale.

His work can be recognised by its marked solidity compared to the work of many of his contemporaries. Only using solid timber, his furniture had clean, unfussy lines and he constructed all his handles, latches, and mechanisms in wood. He also favoured panels, exposed joints, octagonal column-like legs and simple chip-carved decoration. On Davies’ retirement, the workshop closed, marking the end of an era in the Arts and Crafts movement.

The present collection of Stanley Webb Davies furniture was commissioned by Mrs A.W. Philipson of Canon Winder Hall, Flookburgh, Westmorland, and was featured in Hugh Wright’s 2006 book Stanley Webb Davies 1894-1978: Arts and Crafts Furniture Maker.

Mrs Philipson was one of Davies’ most important local clients, and he borrowed some of the pieces of furniture he had made for to exhibit at the Exhibition at Ambleside and in Manchester at the Red Rose Guild of Craftsmen’.
