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.

Day 43: Newtone Art Ware Vase

Photo Caption: 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.

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 28: Newtone Art Ware Vase

Photo Caption: Day 28: Today’s piece is by Bakewell Bros from their Newtone Art Ware line circa 1930s. There is quite a lot going on with this piece. It’s bulbous and flared at the top with a ribbed lower section. Again this piece is in the “standard” Newtone green and brown drip glaze.

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 16: Trent Art Ware Vase

Photo Caption: Day 16: Today’s piece is by Bakewells of Erskinville NSW under their Trent Art Ware label which was nothing more than a rebranding of the Newtone line of wares after WWII. This exact shape in this exact colouring would have been produced in the Newtone range some 10 years earlier. Circa mid to late 1940’s.
