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 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 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 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.
