Antiques & Collectibles Nursery plates collection

A collection of Victorian pottery nursery plates and mugs forms part of a single owner auction on Wednesday, May 5 at Charterhouse in Sherborne. Auctioneer Richard Bromell said: “Rarely do you come across Victorian pottery nurserywares as many did not survive being used by children and the past 180 years. So to come across a collection of 100 pieces is a really rare treat.” The Victorian pottery nursery plates collection came from a country house near Shaftesbury after a family member passed away. The family had been collectors for decades, with a particular interest in naïve art such as the nursery plates. The little plates were transfer printed in bright colours with religious text, animals, letters of the alphabet, tales and morals to teach children how to behave and are highly sought after. These, and the contents including other ceramics, silver, pictures, prints, a mineral collection and even a Victorian shepherd’s hut, are all being sold without reserve and are expected to sell for over £30,000. The items are part of a three-day auction. On May 6, there are hundreds of lots of silver, jewellery and watches, followed on the 7th with Beswick, antiques and interiors, with some 1,100 being sold over the three days. You can now view and attend these auctions and see all the lots at charterhouse-auction.com or drop into their Long Street Salerooms, Sherborne between Monday, (3) and Thursday (6). 01935 812277/info@charterhouse-auction.com

Bowl is particularly fine example

Busby Auctioneers in Bridport will be holding their postponed Spring Fine Art Sale on Thursday, June 17. One of the highlights of the sale is expected to be a particularly fine example of a Lucie Rie stoneware bowl, pictured right. Rie (1902 -1995) has come to be one of the most renowned potters of the 20th century. Austrian born, she studied pottery in Vienna before fleeing Nazi occupation in 1938. Her career flourished in England among a community of potters including Bernard Leach. She is best known for her bowls, notable for the clean modernism of her lines and aesthetics, described as cosmopolitan. Rie received many major awards, and her work is on display in the V&A. She is sold regularly at the London auction houses. Busby is delighted to offer this bowl, which is in immaculate condition, with an estimate of £6,000 - £8,000. The bowl has a white glaze, with the artist’s monogram impressed to the base, and is expected to draw interest internationally. Following the easing of lockdown, Busby will finally be able to open for public viewings for all sales, the first of which being the May 6th General Sale, with viewings on the Saturday, Tuesday, and Wednesday as usual.
