Day 46: Una Deerbon Vase
Photo Caption: 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!

Day 41: Premier Pottery Preston PPP Vase
Photo Caption: 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!

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 29: Ellis Ceramics Pelican
Photo Caption: Day 29: Today’s piece is by Ellis Ceramics out of Melbourne circa 1960s70s. Who doesn’t love a good piece of Ellis?! Classic mid century design is pretty much timeless and this piece is no exception. I have seen this Pelican figure as a money box before but this version is just a freestanding figure. Except for the sticker these pieces are always unmarked.
