Garden Urn: A set of three Compton terracotta apple pots early 20th century with small circular manufacturer's stamp 41cm.; 16ins high by 53cm.; 21ins diameter 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. 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 Apple pattern 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

Chinese School (c.1790-1810) - A group of four Chinese botanical studies A rare collection of Chinese watercolours of flowers and fruit Circa 1790-1810 The largest: 34 x 27 cm. (13 1/4 x 10 5/8 in); the smallest: 30 x 20 cm. (12 x 8 in) Provenance: Formerly in the collection of the Right Honourable Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820) Bt, KCB, FRS, President of the Royal Society ; Private collection, US; from whom purchased by Mallett, 2007. The four watercolours available in the present lot were obtained through the connections that Sir Joseph Banks made in China between 1790 and 1800. They were painted by skilled but unidentified Cantonese artists around that time, the depictions of birds in trees being the earliest in date and the fish being slightly later. Sir Joseph Banks was a British explorer and naturalist who, as long-time President of the Royal Society, London, became known for his support of the advancements of science. Banks studied at Oxford from 1760 to 1763, during which time he inherited a considerable fortune. After graduating, he travelled to Newfoundland and Labrador in 1766, collecting plant and other specimens. In 1768, he led the Royal Society delegation on a voyage around the world with Captain James Cook, during which time they landed in New Zealand, at Poverty Bay, in 1769. While there, Banks described a great number of plants found in the area and wrote detailed descriptions of the Maori people who lived there. His scientific account of the voyage and its discoveries sparked considerable interest in Europe, encouraging European settlement near the Pacific Islands. In 1781, Banks was made a baronet and in 1795 a Knight Commander of the Bath. In 1793, his name was given to the Banks Islands, near Vanuatu in the Pacific, by Captain Bligh (of 'Mutiny on the Bounty' fame) who first explored them.
