Day 46: Una Deerbon Vase

Photo Caption: Day 46: Today’s piece is by Melbourne based potter Una Deerbon. Born in Woollarah, NSW, she was a student of the Sydney Art school. She designed clothing for David Jones, produced series of humerous post cards and even opened her own design school. Teacher to her cousin John (Jack) Castle Harris, Eric Juckert and just generally annoyingly over talented. Circa mid 1930s this piece is interesting for Una as she was known for her colorful glazes. I think the monotone white looks much better but that might be a controversial to say out loud but hey you gotta live on the edge I suppose!

Day 45: Wembley Ware Salt and Pepper Shakers

Photo Caption: Day 45: Today’s piece is another of this weekends finds. If I could have luck like this every week I’d be a happy boy. This pair (and despite the different colours this is the original pairing) of salt and pepper shakers was made by Wembley Ware out of Subiaco, Perth, Western Australia featuring a hand painted image of the MV Princess of Tasmania (the Spirit of Tasmania’s predecessor) circa 1950s. Unmarked again because there is no room in the base. They possibly once had a sticker on them to identify the maker.

Day 44: Darbyshire Kangaroo Figure

Photo Caption: Day 44: Today’s piece is my find of the month so far. Made by the Darbyshire Pottery at Innaloo just outside Perth Western Australia circa 1950s. These pieces don’t really have a good place to put a makers mark so you have to know what you are looking for. This piece was spotted in amongst a load of Japanese made animals figures so it pays to keep your eyes peeled!

Day 43: Newtone Art Ware Vase

Photo Caption: Day 43: Today’s piece is another piece by my fav Newtone Art Ware. This is one of the more common shapes in one of the more common colour combinations but still a great piece. Circa 1935.

Day 42: Cynthia Mitchell Wall Plaque

Photo Caption: Day 42: Today’s piece is another piece by my fav post war Tasmanian potter Cynthia Mitchell and what a piece it is! This is Skimbleshanks the Railway cat who drives the mail train. He is from T.S. Eliot’s, Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats. My guess is this 3D wall plaque is a complete one off. There are 14 or so poems in the book and my guess is there is a wall plaque for every poem (I know of the existence of 3 other T.S. Eliot cat plaques). I love this piece and waited a number of years for one to turn up. I wouldn’t be surprised if the “missing” 10 or so plaques have migrated to the mainland or indeed overseas. Fingers crossed they haven’t been consigned to the land fill.

Day 42: Premier Pottery Preston PPP Vase

Photo Caption: Day 42: Today’s piece is another piece by Premier Pottery Preston. This piece features a very trippy multicoloured glaze combination and a little pair of ears just to finish it off nicely. Unmarked but undoubtedly PPP, circa 1930.

Day 41: Premier Pottery Preston PPP Vase

Photo Caption: Day 41: Today’s piece is by Premier Pottery Preston or simply PPP. Starting production in 1930 the PPP line of wares is the predecessor to the Remued pottery line. Although both lines were produced by the same factory only 3 or 4 years apart they couldn’t be more different!

Day 40: Ellis Ceramics Horse

Photo Caption: Day 40: Today’s piece is another piece by Ellis Ceramics out of Melbourne. Ellis must have made quite a few of these little horses but I’m not sure I have seen two the same. They were obviously cast from the same mould but the decoration and glaze combination seems to have been up to the individual artist. This is the only one I have but I imagine you could build a pretty special collection just concentrating on this one Ellis shape.

Day 39: Mystery Milk Jug

**insta-image**

Photo Caption: Day 39: Today’s piece is the rather large milk jug to go with my mystery teapot from yesterday. Maybe we will call it a water jug? It’s way lighter than you’d expect but definitely old. Any ideas people?

Day 36: Harry Memmott Jug

Photo Caption: Day 36: Today’s piece is by Queensland potter Harry Memmott. Known by most collectors for his souvenir wares this piece is quite different to say the least. With it’s large strap handle and scrunched up stopper this jug is one helluva brute and I love it!
