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.

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.

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
