Day 48: Trent Art Ware of Bexley Vase
Photo Caption: Day 48: Today’s piece is by Trent Art Ware of Bexley NSW. These pieces are somewhat of a mystery wrapped in a riddle. Around 1955 Bakewells was bought out by James Hardie and the rights to the Trent Art Ware name sold (possibly) to some former employees who operated out of a premisis in Bexley. As far as I can tell the lines they produced are completely different to anything produced at Bakewells and seem to consist mainly of these hand painted style pieces. Like this piece they sometimes have the old Trent sticker on them but I find it hard to consider them “real” Trent pieces. They have a place in the story of Bakewells and the Newtone and Trent wares but how much I don’t know.
