The Dr John C.Yule Collection of Middlesbrough & Linthorpe Pottery (Lots 1-43) An avid collector, Dr Yule put together the finest collection of Middlesbrough pottery in private hands, which includes examples from across the pottery’s history. Deeply knowledgeable on his subject, he collected by pattern and accumulated pieces with every variation of the pottery’s stamp as well as unusual and unique pieces. Notable pieces in the collection include three plates commemorating the casualties of a Barnsley mining disaster, a Middlesbrough Pottery cup and saucer commemorating the establishment in 1855 of the Middlesbro’ Weekly News and Cleveland Advertiser, and an oversize Country House slop pail. Amongst over 100 Linthorpe pottery pieces in the sale are numerous examples of designs by the renowned Christopher Dresser including a rare 1880 Sake Bottle, on offer with an estimate of £500-800. ABOUT MIDDLESBROUGH POTTERY (1834-1887) Middlesbrough’s first industry was not what many might think. Rather than the iron works, it was the Middlesbrough Pottery Company that got the infant town on its feet, increasing the population of the area tenfold in as many years. The brainchild of a Darlington man, Richard Otley, the Middlesbrough Pottery Company was formed in 1834. The town provided the perfect location when it came to pottery manufacture: there was no nearby competition, and it was a coal port. Not only was there fuel in abundance, but white clay suitable for pottery making was brought as ballast on the coal ships on their return journeys from the South of England. Otley was a surveyor for the Darlington and Stockton Railway and was responsible for planning the new town. Having kept an eye out for a suitable plot of land, building of the new pottery commenced in 1834. Construction was rapid, skilled workers were lured from Tyne and Wear and Staffordshire, and by the end of the year the company’s first consignment of earthenware was shipped to Gibraltar. From its conception, the Pottery was ambitious, Otley being determined to produce both practical and beautiful goods. On offer was a range of wares, including lusterware and transfer patterns. In 1843, Isaac Wilson and his brother John succeeded Otley, rechristening the Pottery as the Middlesbrough Earthenware Company. By the middle of the 1850s the company was thriving. Having changed its name once again to Isaac Wilson & Co., they were recorded in 1854 as having exported an astounding 279,000 pieces of earthenware. Compared to the whole earthenware output of Wearside – which comprised six or seven different manufacturers – who produced an estimated 300,000 pieces in a year, Middlesbrough Pottery was in its heyday. These successes, however, were relatively short-lived. The expansion of the iron works drew employment away, the Pottery was not fully mechanised, and working conditions were poor. Things went from bad to worse with the overcrowding of burgeoning industrial enterprises such as The Tees Engine and Foundry Company and the Gas Works, all competing for resources and workers. When, in 1879, the well-known Linthorpe Pottery was established, the situation appeared dire, and after half a century the Pottery closed its doors in 1887.

The Pottery’s most sought-after produce was its transfer ware, designed for everyday use, in which a detailed design was etched onto a metal plate, before the image was then printed in oil paint onto tissue paper. The tissue was then applied to the pot and transferred before the paper was removed. Whilst some of these engraved designs were produced in-house, most would have been purchased from other potteries and specialist engravers. One of the most popular patterns was the blue and white Willow pattern, however, Middlesbrough Pottery also saw some more unique designs. For example, they produced a set of plates featuring with images of a famous caricaturist George Cruikshank, demonising those who drank, made in 1847 for the Temperance League. The company also made higher quality ornamental pieces in fine lustre decoration.

Relatively little is known about Middlesbrough Pottery. Much of its history has been forgotten with only generational accounts remaining. Yet its role as a pioneer of industry within the city deserves wider recognition. At auction, Middlesbrough Pottery is largely only collected by those in the North East, and as such it is still very affordable. Highlights of the collection include a fascinating piece of social history, a Temperance Pledge Plaque dedicated to Thomas Cooke, Elizabeth Cooke and Mary Jane Cooke in 1840. The Cooke family lived at 125 Bridge Street, and Thomas, who was an earthenware fireman at the pottery, was originally from Staffordshire.

THE COLLECTOR: DR JOHN YULE John Charles Yule was born in Middlesbrough in 1946, where he attended Acklam Hall Grammar School before going on to study medicine at Newcastle University in 1963. After qualifying, he worked successively at Carlisle and Dryburn Hospitals, until he joined the Medical Practice Group in Meadowfield, County Durham, in 1973. Kind and infinitely patient, John was a dedicated GP until he began a well-earned retirement in 2009. Beyond medicine and the care of his patients, John had two great loves, his wife Margaret and his collections. John collected widely, with great scholarship and discernment, from books to antique bottles, to assembling reference collections of Middlesbrough and Linthorpe pottery from his hometown. In later years, he and Margaret had the time to attend numerous antiques fairs, and this allowed John to continue searching out fine items for his collections, driven by his enormous enthusiasm and good taste. John was the author of two scholarly works about antique bottles. His two-volume book Making Headway describes the transfer printed pottery bottles widely used for ginger beer and stout by North Eastern brewers and mineral water companies during the late Victorian period and early 20th century. It also includes a detailed description of how the bottles were manufactured by the various (mainly) Scottish potteries that made them. Nothing but the Blues represents the first comprehensive catalogue of the now highly collected blue glass mineral water bottles from North East England. Sadly, John died in 2019 and this was followed by Margaret's death after a short illness in 2023.

We have been able to trace the provenance of this monk’s chair to 1932 when it was given as a wedding present (together with the partners’ desk in lot 158) by a father to his son: Paul Herrick Kelly (father), born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1881, the son of John Magrath Kelly, agent for the Lamson Cash Ball system in London, served as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Tank Corps, died in Cheam in 1964 Captain Philip Paul Kelly (1906-1943) (son), born in Kent, attended Ampleforth College (1919-1923), served in the Durham Light Infantry, mentioned in despatches, killed in Burma in 1943 Married Mary Haselwood Porter (1908-2001) in 1932. Sold in the early 1970s by Philip’s widow Mary to the current vendor’s parents.

Droit de Suite/ Artists’ Resale Rights

Method of Payment

All items in this catalogue that are marked with “3” are potentially qualifying items, and the royalty charge (set out below) will apply if the Hammer Price is more than the UK sterling equivalent of €1,000. The royalty charge will be added to purchase invoices, and must be paid before items can be cleared. All royalty charges are paid to either the Design and Artists Copyright Society (“DACS”) or the Artists’ Collecting Society (“ACS”) by the auctioneers, and no handling costs or additional fees with respect to these changes will be retained by the auctioneer.

Payment is accepted online via our website.

From 14 February 2006 United Kingdom art market professionals (which includes auctioneers) are required to collect a royalty payment for all works of art that have been produced by living artists, and those who have died within the last 70 years. This payment is calculated on qualifying works of art which are sold for a Hammer Price more that the UK sterling equivalent of €1,000 (the UK sterling equivalent will fluctuate in line with prevailing exchange rates). It is the responsibility of the Buyer to acquaint themselves with the actual Euro to UK sterling exchange rate on the Day of Sale. The actual qualifying threshold will be 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 Sale and can be found on www.dacs.org.uk The royalty charge for qualifying items which achieve a Hammer Price of more than the UK sterling equivalent of €1,000 is as follows: Up to €50,000 – 4% €50,000.01 to €200,000 – 3% €200,000.01 to €350,000 – 1% €350,000.01 to €500,000 – 0.5% Exceeding €500,000 – 0.25% For further information please visit www.dacs.org.uk or www.artistscollectingsociety.org. There is no VAT payable on this royalty charge.

Post 1950 Furniture Some furniture offered in the sale (as applicable) was not originally intended for use in a private home and will be sold under the category “works of art”. It is possible that some furniture does not comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire)(Safety) Regulations 1989 and, for this reason, should not be used in a private home or re-upholstered. We do not provide any warranty or guarantee as to the safety of such furniture or the compliance with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1989.

Furniture Made from Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia Negra) To comply with CITES Regulations on post-1947 Brazilian Rosewood furniture, all items have non-transferable Article 10 certificates.
