Day 31: Eileen Brooker Vase
Photo Caption: Day 31: Today’s piece is another by Hobart icon Eileen Brooker. The photo makes it look much bigger than it is. It’s only about 12cm high and 5cm in diameter hence the difficulty getting a nice clear signature on the base. This piece has a nice wax resist decoration. I’m guessing it is circa 1970s.

Day 30: Amelia Burrows Plate
Photo Caption: Day 30: Although not exactly Australian pottery today’s piece still fits with my Australian ceramics collection. This plate (more than likely an English made blank) was hand painted by Amelia Burrows wife of Launceston photographer Alfred Edward Burrows circa 1900. The scene is titled “Near Wynyard NW Tasmania”. #AustralianPottery #AustralianArtPottery #AustralianStudioPottery #australianceramics #AustralianStudioChinaPainting #ChinaPainting #TasmanianPottery #TasmanianCeramics #TasmanianArt #Pottery #Ceramics #instapottery #WynyardTasmania #365DaysofAustralianPottery

Day 29: Ellis Ceramics Pelican
Photo Caption: Day 29: Today’s piece is by Ellis Ceramics out of Melbourne circa 1960s70s. Who doesn’t love a good piece of Ellis?! Classic mid century design is pretty much timeless and this piece is no exception. I have seen this Pelican figure as a money box before but this version is just a freestanding figure. Except for the sticker these pieces are always unmarked.

Day 28: Newtone Art Ware Vase
Photo Caption: Day 28: Today’s piece is by Bakewell Bros from their Newtone Art Ware line circa 1930s. There is quite a lot going on with this piece. It’s bulbous and flared at the top with a ribbed lower section. Again this piece is in the “standard” Newtone green and brown drip glaze.

Day 27: Alice Mylie Peppin Vase
Photo Caption: Day 27: Today’s piece is by Iconic Tasmanian potter Alice Mylie Peppin (known as Mylie Peppin). Mylie became interested in pottery after visiting an exhibition held by Maude Poynter and her cousin Violet Mace. Soon after Maude became Mylie’s teacher. This chance meeting became a life long obsession for Mylie which resulted in a career spanning 7 decades from the 1930s to the 1990s. Mylie taught pottery just about everywhere to just about everyone including the Lachlan Park Hospital which will get it’s own mention somewhere along the line. This piece is dated 1959 and if you have been in an opshop in southern Tasmania you would have seen something very similar in this same glaze combo sitting on the shelves. This style of decoration must have been one of Mylie’s standard lessons. After seeing so many pots like this with random names and initials on the base it was an absolute shock to pick this one up on Monday with Mylie’s distinctive AMP initials on the base.

Day 26: Tamborine Dish
Photo Caption: Day 26: Today’s piece is a bit of a mystery to me and despite going through all my books and searching the internet I can’t say i have found anything concrete. The 1st ed of Geoff Fords pottery marks interprets the markings as “Tamborune” and suggests a possible connetions to former LJ Harvey student Frances Carnegie who set up her own pottery at Mt Tamborine in Queensland in the 1960s. This piece is signed Tamborine with the capital Q for Queensland associates with markings on many Harvey school pieces but it is also signed Morris or Mauris below the main markings. The clay is red and full of inclusions and the design is one of pure fantasy, part Australian Aboriginal, part Egyptian goddess. Anyways I’m stummped but i love this piece. Maybe @TimothyRobertsArtHistorian might have some clues?

Day 25: Pates Pottery Ashtray
Photo Caption: Day 25: Greetings from Tasmania!Today’s piece is by Pates pottery out of Sydney, NSW. Although unmarked the glaze is early Pates. This apple Isle ashtray must be fairly rare as I’m yet to see another. Just in case you didn’t recognise it the outline of the ashtray is supposed to be a map of Tasmania.

Day 24: Cynthia Mitchell Charger
Photo Caption: Day 24: Today’s piece is by Tasmanian potter Cynthia Mitchell. Not only is this by my favourite post WWII Tasmanian potter but it is just about my favourite piece by her too. It was a gift from a good friend and although it’s almost in 2 pieces I love it. I became a little obsessed with her work and reckon my collection is the largest collection of her pottery and might well be the largest collection of a single 20th century studio potter in private hands in Australia. I must own more than 200 pieces with few if any repeats so be prepared to see a few more pieces throughout the year.

Day 23: Derek Smith Vase
Photo Caption: Day 23: Today’s piece is by Tasmanian potter Derek Smith. Known for his symmetry and clean cut lines and usually in earthy tones this gold lustre is a little bit of a departure from what you’d normally see. Derek is another of my fav Tasmanian potters. If i could fill my house works of this standard I’d be a happy collector.

Day 22: (Part 2) Newtone Art Ware Vase – Shape 142
Photo Caption: Day 22: (Part 2) As promised earlier here is a side by side photo of the four shape 142 vases made by Bakewell Bros, all from the Newtone range of wares. The photo goes to demonstrate that although Bakewell Bros was a very big commercial pottery making everything from bricks to art wares the pieces can be as individual as the people who made and decorated them.
