A massive Staffordshire figure of Bacchus and Ariadne, 19th century, based on a marble model, Bacchus draped in a pink robe with his arm around Ariadne, who holds a goblet of wine, raised on a faux marble base, rivets beneath the base, 61.5cm.Cf. Pat Halfpenny, English Earthenware Figures 1740-1840, p.152, pl.42 for a similar example.
A creamware jug, c.1780, printed in black by Thomas Fletcher of Shelton with a sailor and a girl in mourning beside a coffin, titled `Poor Tom Bowling`, the print signed, the reverse with a compass, minor faults, 24cm.Tom Bowling (or Tom Bowline) was an 18th century generic term for a sailor, following from a popular song written by Charles Dibdin about the death of his brother, a sailor, who was struck by lightning while on deck.
A rare pair of Sèvres chinoiserie plates, c.1795, the wells finely painted with continuous garlands of polychrome flowers, the rims richly decorated in gilt and platinum on a blue-black ground, each with three chinoiserie scenes of Oriental figures reading, farming and at other pursuits, each marked `Sèvres` to the reverse, 24.4cm. (2)This pair of plates form part of a service which, in turn, belongs to a very rare group of Sèvres hard-paste porcelains. In the last decade of the 18th century, while France was in revolutionary turmoil, the Sèvres factory responded to the fashion and desire for Oriental lacquer by producing a number of pieces with chinoiserie decoration in gold and platinum on a rich black ground. The techniques for producing such wares are known to have been mastered around the start of that decade, and the first recorded service produced with this decoration was sold to a M. de Sémonville in 1791. This was presumably Charles Louis Huguet, the Marquis de Sémonville, who was that year appointed Minister and Envoy Extraordinary of France in Genoa. But it was in 1794 and 1795 that a number of services and other items, totalling many hundreds of thousands of livres, were sold to the Citoyen Empaytaz et Compagnie - an extremely wealthy dealer with offices in Paris and Berlin. While archives are sketchy, there is enough evidence to conclude that among the pieces sold in these consignments were a number of services with chinoiserie decoration in gilt and platinum, and that these plates would almost certainly have been included in their number.While there are a number of variations on the decoration of the wells of plates from these services, the border decoration remains remarkably similar. Sadly, there is nothing in the archives to pinpoint a specific designer at Sèvres, but inspiration is believed to have been taken from original Chinese lacquerwork, Chinese woodcut prints, and designs by Jean-Baptiste Pillement. A number of plates from the services delivered to Empaytaz are now in National collections and only a limited number of pieces remain in private hands. The Metropolitan Museum holds nine plates, slightly different to these, which are discussed at length in an article for the museum`s 2002 journal (No. 37) by Antoine D`Albis, entitled "Hard-paste Porcelain Plates from Sèvres with Chinoiserie Decoration in Colored Golds and Platinums". The British Museum holds a plate very similar to these, as does the Hermitage Museum. A pair of vases in the Royal Collection bear remarkably similar decoration.These two plates were among 36 held in the collection of Lord and Lady Fairhaven, the other 24 of which have been previously sold at these rooms.For more information concerning this service and type of chinoiserie decoration please see: Aileen Dawson, French Porcelain: A catalogue of the British Museum Collection, pp. 213-214, no. 177, and David Peters, Sèvres Plates and Services of the 18th Century, Vol. V, pp. 1053-55.

* JOHN MCNAIRN (1910-2009) IN THE WOOD oil on board, signed 81 x 112 cm (31.9 x 44.1 inches) note : McNairn enrolled at The Edinburgh College of Art in 1927; an especially fertile period in the college`s history and then followed in the custom for the most talented Edinburgh students to go abroad to continue their development. In Paris in the early 1930s McNairn made the unusual choice of attending the Academie Scandinave, attracted by the presence of Othon Friesz. Although Friesz no longer painted in the vigorous Fauve style of his early career, his connection with Post-Impressionism appealed to McNairn, who expressed a wish to paint in a direct and truthful manner. Through his friendship with Robin John (son of Augustus John) he was introduced to Julian Trevelyan and S.W. Hayter, whose print studio, Atelier 17, was used by the most prominent artists, including many of the leading Surrealists. With Trevelyan, he saw the Surrealist`s 1933 Paris exhibition and recollects the disturbing effect Dalí and Mirô had on him. Consequently, many of McNairn`s paintings have an unsettling emptiness, accentuated by a slightly unreal perspective. Despite the looming spectre of Fascism, McNairn went on to travel extensively in Spain, a country he felt immensely drawn to, and it was here that he developed his life long passion for the art of El Greco. After war service in India, he returned to Hawick, and then to Selkirk, where he became Head of the Art Department at Selkirk High School. Here, he and his wife Stella raised four children, including the artists Caroline (b.1955) and Julia (b.1962), who also studied at Edinburgh College of Art. In 1950, Edinburgh`s The Scottish Gallery held a joint exhibition of McNairn and his father`s painting (shortly after the latter`s death). This celebration of a family`s art was repeated in greater form, when five generations of McNairn artists were brought together in an exhibition in Peebles in 1987. Between these years, McNairn was variously included in other exhibitions, and he organised displays of his own in the gallery he and his wife established in Selkirk. Throughout his admirably long career McNairn has steadfastly produced paintings in which he has orchestrated a simple vocabulary of forms, line and colour, to produce an art that encapsulates the inspiration he felt in the world around him. In 2010, The National Galleries of Scotland acquired `Eyemouth Sea Shore, Jour de Fête` a 63 x 75 cm oil on board by John McNairn using funds from the Cecil and Mary Gibson Bequest.
Fred Pollock, Scottish b.1937- "Untitled V"; acrylic on paper, signed and dated `89 in pencil, 56x76.5cm, (may be subject to Droit de Suite) Provenance: with the Vanessa Devereux Gallery Limited, 11 Blenheim Crescent, London W11 2EE according to the label attached to the reverse. Note: Fred Pollock was born in Glasgow in 1937, and studied at Glasgow School of Art. He now lives and works in London, and was amongst the artist who showed together at Stockwell Depot in the Seventies. His work was included in "British Painting 1952-77" at the Royal Academy in 1977, and in the Eighties he began a series of solo shows at the Vanessa Devereux Gallery, London. In 1980 he was in the Hayward Annual, and in 1982, a Serpentine Gallery Summer Show. In 1984 Pollock was a guest artist at the Triangle Workshop in Mashomack, New York State. In the Nineties he had solo shows at the Rebecca Hossack Gallery, London, as well as solo shows in Amsterdam and Groningen. His work has always been held in high regard by critics and collectors, and Pollock is now considered pre-eminent amongst abstract painters of his generation for his sustained exploration of abstraction through highly charged colour values. His work is in numerous public and private collections, including the Arts Council and the Scottish Arts Council.
