WEMYSS RARE GARDEN PLAQUE, CIRCA 1894. of heart shape, inscribed by Karel Nekola in blue enamel and reserved on a white ground with the legend; "It has seemed to me more pos-/ sible than I knew to carry a friend-/ ship greatly on one side. Why should/ I cumber myself with regrets - It / never troubles the sun that some/ of his rays fall wide and/ vain into ungrateful/ space./ Emerson." 15cm wide, 15cm high Provenance; Mr Randolph and Lady Lillian Erskine-Wemyss, for the Friendship Garden at Chapel Gardens, West Wemyss, circa 1894. Lady Victoria Erskine-Wemyss Thence as a gift to the present owner. Literature; Andrew S. Cunningham 'Randolph Gordon Erskine Wemyss: An Appreciation', published Leven 1909. Peter Davis and Robert Rankine 'Wemyss Ware', presented by Victoria de Rin and David MacMillan, pub. Edinburgh 1986. Note:The patronage of the Wemyss family at nearby Wemyss Castle was an enormous contribution to the success that Robert Heron & Son enjoyed with Wemyss Ware. Indeed as a tribute to the family two vases in the range were named for Randolph Erskine-Wemyss' sister Lady Henry Grosvenor (Grosvenor vase) and for his second wife Lady Eva Wellesley (Lady Eva vase). From the beginning of the project and throughout its heyday at the turn of the 20th century their continuing support ensured the success of the range. The following lots bear testament to their support as they were specially commissioned from Robert Heron & Son by the Erskine-Wemyss family to decorate the Friendship Garden which had been created within The Chapel Garden in 1894 by Mr Erskine Wemyss and his then wife Lady Lillian Wemyss. Each is painted by Karel Nekola, chief decorator at Robert Heron & Son, with a motto pertaining to friendship and can be seen in contemporary photographs attached to a tree in the middle of the garden (see illustration left and overleaf). Accompanying documents with these plaques show photographs of the completed garden as well as a list of donors to the garden and the plants donated dated 1894. The photographs show borders of donated plants surrounding the central tree and each donors plot is marked with a heart-shaped plaque - one of which survives in this group (lot ) and is inscribed 'Dowager Countess of Airlie'. The Chapel Garden had been created in 1894 by Randolph Gordon Erskine-Wemyss adjacent to the burial ground he had created for his family by the ruined chapel nearby in the same year. Andrew S. Cunningham in his 1909 publication 'Randolph Gordon Erskine Wemyss: An Appreciation' writes about the garden; "The garden is situated in a semi- circular creek in Red Rocks Bay, to the west of the village of West Wemyss….To get to the place of burial one has to pass through a pergola of ivy and hops and pretty creeping hops, and at every turn he meets rustic gateways and pretty creeping plants. In a pond constructed in the red rock there are some rare specimens of plants and roses grow in profusion. The old dovecote which takes the name of the East Tower, has been converted into a summer house, and above the entrance are carved the words: "I wish the sun would shine on all men's fruits and flowers as well as mine"".
