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 47: Mashman Frog Figure

Photo Caption: 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.

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 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.
