Day 48: Trent Art Ware of Bexley Vase

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. #AustralianPottery #AustralianArtPottery #Pottery #Ceramics #instapottery #AustralianDesign #NewtonePottery #NewtoneArtWare #Newtone #Bakewells #BakewellBros #TrentArtWare #TrentArtWareBexley #australianceramics #SydneyPottery #SydneyCeramics #Bexley #365DaysofAustralianPottery

Day 47: Mashman Frog Figure

Day 47: Today's piece is by Mashman Bros. Yes, another unmarked piece again but a known Mashman shape and glaze. This is the small frog made by Mashman which is pretty hard to find. There is a BIG toad garden ornament but you will probably see 10 of these frogs before you see another Toad. #AustralianPottery #AustralianArtPottery #NSWPottery #Pottery #Ceramics #instapottery #AustralianDesign #MashmanPottery #Mashman #MashmanBros #Frogs #Frog #Toad #australianceramics #SydneyPottery #SydneyCeramics #365DaysofAustralianPottery

Day 46: Una Deerbon Vase

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! #AustralianPottery #AustralianArtPottery #NSWPottery #Pottery #Ceramics #instapottery #AustralianDesign #MelbourneCeramics #MelbournePottery #australianceramics #Remued #UnaDeerbon #CastleHarris #EricJuckert #365DaysofAustralianPottery

Day 44: Darbyshire Kangaroo Figure

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! #AustralianPottery #AustralianArtPottery #WAPottery #WACeramics #Pottery #instapottery #Ceramics #AustralianDesign #australianceramics #DarbyshirePottery #JeanDarbyshire #365DaysofAustralianPottery

Day 43: Newtone Art Ware Vase

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. #AustralianPottery #AustralianArtPottery #Pottery #Ceramics #instapottery #AustralianDesign #australianceramics #NewtonePottery #NewtoneArtWare #Newtone #Bakewells #BakewellBros #365DaysofAustralianPottery

Day 42: Premier Pottery Preston PPP Vase

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. #AustralianPottery #AustralianArtPottery #Pottery #instapottery #Ceramics #AustralianDesign #australianceramics #PPP #PremierPottteryPreston #Remued #365DaysofAustralianPottery

Day 41: Premier Pottery Preston PPP Vase

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! #AustralianPottery #AustralianArtPottery #PPP #PremierPottteryPreston #Remued #Pottery #Ceramics #instapottery #AustralianDesign #AustralianArt #australianceramics #MelbourneCeramics #VICPottery #ArtDeco

Day 40: Ellis Ceramics Horse

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 im 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. #AustralianPottery #AustralianArtPottery #Pottery #Ceramics #instapottery #AustralianDesign #AustralianArt #EllisCeramics #EllisPottery #VICPottery #australianceramics #MelbourneCeramics #MidCentury #RetroPottery #365DaysofAustralianPottery

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 37: Les Blakebrough Beaker

Day 37: Today's piece is by Tasmanian master potter Les Blakebrough. I always call these Sake cups but it might be a bit big for that so I might go for beaker. Either way it's a perfect little piece of antipodean orientalism (see what i did there!? 😒). #AustralianPottery #AustralianArtPottery #Pottery #Ceramics #instapottery #AustralianDesign #TasmanianPottery #LesBlakebrough #australianceramics #TasmanianArt #365DaysofAustralianPottery
