A massive Indian buff coloured sandstone carving, possibly depicting Shiva and Parvatti in an architectural niche, a male and female attendant at their feet, probably 11th/12th century, 64.5cm. Provenance: purchased from David Tremayne Ltd., London 30th September 1980. Vishnu is the all-pervading essence of all beings, the master of - and beyond - the past, present and future, the creator and destroyer of all existences. Vishnu is four-armed, holding a ;lotus, mace, conch and chakra (wheel). IN almost all Hindu denominations, Vishnu is either worshipped directly or in the form of his ten avatars, such as Krishna. Parvati is a Hindu goddess nominally the second consort of Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction and rejuvenation. Parvati is the mother of the gods Ganesha and Skanda (Kartikeya). Some communities also believe her to be the sister of god Vishnu. Parvati when depicted alongside Shiva appears with two arms, but when alone she is shown having four arms, and astride a tier or lion. Generally considered a benign goddess, Parvati also has fearful aspects like Durga, Kali, Chandi, and the Mahavidyas, as well as benevolent forms like Mahagauri, Shailputri and Lalita.

An impressive Coade stone unicorn head late 18th/early 19th century later mounted on iron base 112cm.; 44ins high This almost certainly originally formed the right hand section of a Royal Armorial, with a lion on the left hand side flanking the Royal coat of arms which would have borne the Coade stamp . These were in great demand in Georgian times for businesses which had received a Royal Warrant to supply some commodity or service. Such firms were and still are, entitled to display the Royal Arms on their premises. These are usually painted today, but in the reigns of George III and George IV, Coade stone offered an attractive and suitably architectural alternative. In 1799 Mrs Coade said that she had supplied Royal Arms, presumably Warrant holders, in Bond Street, Great Queen Street, Charing Cross, Strand, Long Acre, Fleet Street, St James' Street and Piccadilly. Official buildings also had their Royal arms. Mrs Coade had good connections with the War Office, since her 1799 list includes Royal Arms for barracks at Aberdeen, Edinburgh Hamilton, Glasgow, Perth, Northampton and York.

A pair of Compton pottery scroll pots early 20th century 46cm.; 18ins high one with manufacturer's small stamp The Compton Potters Art Guild was started by Mary Watts, the wife of G.F. Watts the Victorian allegorical painter. In 1895 work began on the Watts Mortuary Chapel. Designed by Mary Watts, it was to be built from local clay by the villagers of Compton, near Godalming, Surrey. Mr and Mrs Watts were dedicated supporters of the growing Home Arts and Industries Association, a voluntary movement launched by Earl Brownlow in 1885 to revive the dying art of handicraft among the working classes. The idea was that young uneducated artisans should have their eyes opened to the wonders of art. They would be rescued from idleness, gambling and drinking -so the notion ran- during long winter evenings. Uplifted and taught how to use their hands with skill they would acquire a hobby to be proud of and develop this hitherto unknown talent, where possible to professional standards. The Pottery Art Guild continued from strength to strength, winning medals at the Royal Botanical Society and the Home Arts' highest award, the gold cross. Liberty's sold their garden ornaments as well as hand tufted Donegal carpets designed by Mrs Watts. They received architectural commissions from Lutyens, Clough William-Ellis and Goodhart Rendel. Recommended by Jekyll, they made miniature versions of their pots for the garden of Queen Mary's dollshouse in the early 1920's. The Guild became a limited company run by George Aubertin and continued to produce works based on Mrs Watts' designs until after her death in 1938. These scroll pots are illustrated in the Art Potters Guild catalogue page 11. Literature; The Watts Chapel, An Arts and Crafts Memorial by Veronica Franklin Gould, Arrow Press, Farnham, Surrey

A pair of substantial Blashfield stoneware urns the base stamped J M Blashfield, Stamford, 1870 66cm.; 26ins high by 82cm.; 32ins diameter John Marriott Blashfield, remarked in his essay Account of the History and Manufacture of Ancient and Modern Terracotta (1855) that he had been inspired to make a kind of artificial stoneware by seeing the kind of pieces for which Mark Blanchard had been awarded prizes at the Great Exhibition of 1851. He obtained Letters Patent in 1854 for "Improvements in the Manufacture of China, Pottery, Bricks" and other articles, made for the most part from clay and again in 1860 for "improvements in burning pottery and china ware". He had a manufactory in Millwall, Poplar with a sales outlet at No. 1 Praed Street, Edgware Road, London, but moved to Stamford, Lincolnshire in 1859, to be nearer the clay-beds. He won medals for Terra Cotta, in the glass and pottery and architectural objects classes at the International Exhibition in 1862 and a silver medal at the Paris International Exhibition of 1867. One of the most important commissions with which he was involved was supplying architectural terracotta for the decoration of the new Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, but this undertaking stretched his resources too far and by 1874 the Stamford Terracotta Company works, machinery as well as models and moulds were for sale; it finally closed in 1875.
