Day 13: Mashman Bookends

Photo Caption: Day 13: Today’s piece is a pair of pretty rare bookends by Sydney based pottery Mashman Bros from their Regal Art range circa 1930’s. My first purchase of the year and I’m more than chuffed. Thanks to my new best friend Ludo for helping me out.

Day 10: Modern Ceramic Products

Photo Caption: Day 10: Today’s piece is actually 3 pieces all made by Modern Ceramic Products (known to collectors, and usually marked MCP) under licence from Disney some time after 1947. The character is Figaro who as well as staring in various short films is Minnie Mouse’s cat! Except for some of the larger pieces they weren’t marked except for a blue foil label with the characters name on it which would have been the first thing to go when you got it home. Subsequently pieces with their original labels on are hard to find. Although many of the figures were locally designed this piece is a direct copy of the figure produced by Evan K Shaw in the USA around the same time.

Day 7: Disabled Soldier Pottery

Photo Caption: Day 7: Today’s piece may not look it but it is pretty special. Started around the end of the first world war the Disabled Soldiers Pottery was an initiative of the Red Cross in Redfern NSW to provide work for returned soldiers suffering from severe war related injuries (usually amputations that would have made them unsuitable for other work). Circa 1920.
