Vanessa Bell (British, 1879-1961)Still life with roses signed with initials and dated 'VB 58' (lower right)oil on canvas47 x 40.8 cm. (18 1/2 x 16 in.)Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate Collection, U.K.From 1916 Charleston, an isolated farmhouse situated near Firle, Sussex, became the home of Vanessa Bell and her family along with the artist Duncan Grant. Soon after their arrival, the artists began to embellish the interior with paintings, furniture, textiles, and ceramics; while the garden became a luxuriant space adorned with ponds, mosaics, and sculptural features. From the desk by the French window in her bedroom, the artist was able to see the garden in full bloom during the summer months in which a mass of roses vied for space alongside carnations, lilies, and sweet peas. The present work, depicting a generous grouping of roses in various bright colours, was painted during the 1950s and demonstrates Bell's long association with still life. Here we see her entirely modern interpretation of the traditional subject with the incorporation of a patterned fabric drawing our eyes around the composition. In 2017, a new shrub rose was introduced at the Chelsea Flower Show by David Austin with the name Rosa Vanessa Bell.

Lot 9
A magnificent, rare and large Charles I bronze mortar, dated 1638, by the John Palmar (or Palmer) Foundry, Gloucestershire (fl. c.1621) and Canterbury (fl.1636-1656)Inscribed beneath the rim ‘JOHN PALMAR MADE MEE FOR MARGRET BALDOCKE 1638’, the words and the date spaced by vacant lozenge stops, along with highly stylised flowers and a portcullis, the waist with a brand cast band of alternating roses and flowers admits foliage centred by a portcullis, with two cord mouldings above the waist and four below, 32cm diameter, 24cm highProvenance:In 1887, J.C.L. Stahlschmidt, author of 'The Church Bells of Kent', notes this mortar was then in a grocer's shop Canterbury, and thought to be a bell with 'its crown stable having been chipped or filled off'.Former Arthur G. Hemming, Robert Spalding, Roger Rosewell & Christopher Bangs Collections.Illustrated: A. G. Hemming, 'Dated English Bell-Metal Mortars', Connoisseur, March 1929, No.VIIIP. Hornsby, 'Collecting Antique Copper & Brass' (1989), p. 14, fig. 5.M. Finlay, 'English Decorated Mortars & their Makers' (2010), p.49, fig.58.Margaret Baldocke, was born Margaret Bruxbie, c.1612, the daughter of John Bruxbie, tailor, of All Saint's Canterbury. Margaret married at least three times. Her second marriage, in 1633, was to Robert Baldocke, who had been apprenticed in 1628 to Walter Southwell, a surgeon, apothecary and Mayor of Canterbury in 1634. Robert Baldocke died the year this mortar was made (1638) and it is highly likely Margaret took over their business, as many early modern women are known to have done, and commissioned this mortar for her personal use. Mortars cast solely with a women's full name are rare. Conventionally, a women's name appears alongside and following her husband's. Michael Finlay's 'Checklist of English Dated Mortars 1308-1979', (Finlay. 'Decorated Mortars', pp. 169-198) includes over four-hundred dated mortars known to the author in 2010, and only three mortars - including this example - are inscribed with only a women's name.John Palmar started his career in Gloucester, but was established in Canterbury by 1638. Whilst a posnet by him is recorded, as well as a number of skillets, only one other mortar by him is presently known, and was made in 1621 during his time in Gloucester. This is the only serving mortar cast by him at Canterbury. See ibid., pp. 49-50.

Fine and rare early Worcester 'Scratch Cross' mug, circa 1754, of bell shape, finely painted in the bird and snail pattern in a kakiemon inspired palette of pale green, terracotta and yellow, the base with incised cross mark, height 15cmProvenance: The property of a GentlemanNote: This mug is previously unrecorded and is one of only four now known examples. Three bell shaped mugs with the same decoration have been previously recorded, each inscribed on the base 'Ex L 1754', one from the Grant Dixon Collection at Ampleforth Abbey, another is in the Victoria & Albert Museum Collection, bequeathed by Mr Arthur Hurst (accession number C350-1940), and the third is at Colonial Williamsburg. These recorded mugs are fundamental to the dating of 'Scratch Cross' porcelains and this present lot appears to be the only mug found to date without the 'Ex L 1754' inscription on the base. Whilst the numbers of porcelains in this pattern are few, the pattern does exist on a small number of waisted vases and a water bottle and basin which is now housed in the museum of Royal Worcester
