Day 40: Ellis Ceramics Horse

Photo Caption: 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 I’m 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.

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

Photo Caption: 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

Day 36: Harry Memmott Jug

Photo Caption: Day 36: Today’s piece is by Queensland potter Harry Memmott. Known by most collectors for his souvenir wares this piece is quite different to say the least. With it’s large strap handle and scrunched up stopper this jug is one helluva brute and I love it!

Day 35: Port Arthur Vase

Photo Caption: Day 35: Today’s piece is a bit of a mystery. Inscribed “See Port Arthur” around the neck this vase is unmarked but undoubtedly Tasmanian in origin. The shape is not one I have seen before and the glaze is odd too. Part John Campbell part McHugh and by the looks of it too early to be Van Diemen. Circa 1930s.

Day 34: Amelia Burrows Cup and Saucer

Photo Caption: Day 34: Today’s piece is another early hand painted china piece by Launceston based artist Amelia Burrows circa 1900. I thought i would post another Burrows Studio piece after seeing @robbieburrowsart fantastic photo of her Great Grandmother Amelia hard at work in her studio. Thanks also to @oxalis_curator for the heads up.

Day 33: Agateware Workmans Shoes

Photo Caption: Day 33: Today’s piece is a pair of shoes (well 2 right shoes). Bought locally here in Tassie and assumed to be Australian made workmans pieces from around 1900. Known as agateware which is made using either 2 or more different coloured clays or white clay tinted different colours which are then mixed together and polished after firing to reveal the marbled effect.

There is one problem however. After researching these shoes for this post i think there might be a good chance they may be made by Belfield pottery out of Scotland circa 1880. I have no real evidence for this except for a picture i spotted of a Belfield pottery Chicken money box in almost exactly the same agateware clay with honey glaze on top.
Scottish pottery isn’t really my thing so can anyone out there help a fella out?? #AustralianDesign #AustralianArt #AustralianPottery #australianceramics #Ceramics #Pottery #instapottery #agateware #ScottishPottery #BelfieldPottery #365DaysofAustralianPottery #Shoes

Day 32: Newtone Art Ware Shoe

Photo Caption: Day 32: Today’s piece is by Bakewell Bros from their Newtone Art Ware line. I think I might own more pottery shoes than I do real ones (i don’t own many of either if I’m honest). I’m not sure why they were so popular but alot of pre war Australian potters made shoes to be used as small posy vases.

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
