Day 22: (Part 1) Newtone Art Ware Vase – Shape 142

Photo Caption: Day 22: (Part 1) Today’s piece is the 4th and final example of the Bakewell’s shape 142 from the Newtone line and this one is a little special in more ways than one. Firstly and most obviously this piece is hand painted with a spray of flowers trailing down the front and back. Secondly it is signed by head paintresses at Bakewells Daisy Victoria Merton. Thirdly and most interesting to a pottery collecting nerd like me is the green paper label on the base. The label is interesting to me because it shows the factory design code for this flower design. Every glaze combination and hand painted design would have had it’s own code. I’ve only seen a handful of these labels but they are out there and I’d like to see more.

Day 21: Newtone Art Ware Vase – Shape 142

Photo Caption: Day 21: Today’s piece is by Bakewell Bros from their Newtone Art Ware line and is the 3rd shape 142 vase I have to show you. This one features a sponged finish in quite an odd glaze combo for Newtone. I included a shot of the inside because I think it looks better than the outside #AustralianPottery #AustralianArtPottery #NSWPottery #Pottery #Ceramics #instapottery #AustralianDesign #BakewellBros #Bakewells #NewtonePottery #NewtoneArtWare #Newtone #australianceramics #365DaysofAustralianPottery

Day 20: Newtone Art Ware Vase – Shape 142

Photo Caption: Day 20: Today’s piece is by Bakewell Bros from their Newtone Art Ware line and is the 2nd shape 142 piece I have. This piece is decorated in what i would refer to as the “standard” drip glaze green and brown. Chances are if you remember seeing a Newtone vase you’ve seen it in green and brown.

Day 19: Newtone Art Ware Vase – Shape 142

Photo Caption: Day 19: Today’s piece is by Bakewell Bros from their Newtone Art Ware line circa 1930s. This piece is shape 142 and is one of four I own. I’ll post the other 3 over the coming days to show the different decorating techniques being used at the time by Bakewell Bros. This piece is (for want of a better term) air brushed. I’ll also post a picture of all four side by side which will show just how hand made and individual these commercially produced pieces can be.

I also have to admit that I saw this green giant and immediately thought of my friend Liz @downtoearthvintage not sure if this is the right green for you. If not don’t despair i have a few to come I know you will like!

Day 17: Rynne Tanton Vase

Photo Caption: Day 17: Today’s piece is by Tasmanian potter Rynne Tanton. You know you have too many pieces when you forget you have a beauty like this. I only rediscovered it while looking through some old boxes and thought it deserved to see the light of day once more.

Day 16: Trent Art Ware Vase

Photo Caption: Day 16: Today’s piece is by Bakewells of Erskinville NSW under their Trent Art Ware label which was nothing more than a rebranding of the Newtone line of wares after WWII. This exact shape in this exact colouring would have been produced in the Newtone range some 10 years earlier. Circa mid to late 1940’s.

Day 15: Eileen Brooker Milk Jug

Photo Caption: Day 15: Today’s piece is by iconic Tasmanian potter Eileen Brooker. This small milk jug features a hand painted image of what I think is a Fairy Wren. Circa 2000

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.
