Dänische Pflanzenwelt) ist der Name eines botanischen Atlasses, der1753 von Christian Oeder, dem Direktor des Botanischen Gartens in Kopenhagen, begonnenwurde. Es dauerte 122 Jahre bis die gesamte Flora des dänischen Staates in der Art eines Herbariums erfasst - und die umfassende Enzyklopädie fertig gestellt wurde. 1790 bestellte der dänische Kronprinz und spätere König Friedrich der VI. ein umfangreiches Speiseservice bei der königlichen Porzellanmanufaktur in Kopenhagen das nicht nur den Namen, sondern auch die Motive der 'Flora Danica' tragen sollte. Gedacht war es als Geschenk für die russische Zarin Katharina II., die jedoch bereits 1796, vor der Fertigstellung des Services im Jahr 1802, verstarb. Somit seiner ursprünglichen Bestimmung beraubt, wurde das Service vom Dänischen Hof behalten, wo Teile davon bis Heute zu Staatsbanketten in Schloss Christiansborg gedeckt werden.

Danish flora) is the name of a botanical atlas that was started in 1753 by Christian Oeder, director of the Botanical Garden in Copenhagen. It took 122 years until the entire flora of the Danish state was recorded in the manner of a herbarium - and the extensive encyclopedia was completed. In 1790, the Danish Crown Prince and later King Frederick VI ordered an extensive dinner service from the Royal Porcelain Manufactory in Copenhagen, which was to bear not only the name but also the motifs of 'Flora Danica'. It was intended as a gift for the Russian Tsarina Catherine II, who died in 1796, before the service was completed in 1802. Thus deprived of its original purpose, the service was kept by the Danish Court, where parts of it are still used for state banquets at Christiansborg Castle. Explanations to the Catalogue

Carrie Lees (b.1966) Snowdrop Signed verso Limited edition giclée print 56 x 40.5cm (63.5 x 48cm including frame) Horatio's Garden will receive 100% of the hammer price on this lot. Carrie Lees trained as a fine art photographer at St. Martins and the Black and White School of Photography with Natasha Bult, where she immersed herself in traditional printing techniques, producing exhibition quality work. Her landscape and travel work have featured in many group exhibitions, such as the Thackeray Gallery, and in various Condé Nast publications. Carrie subsequently worked as a successful portrait photographer for many years. She developed techniques that focussed on manipulation of natural light to create timeless images and printed using museum quality papers. More recently she has experimented with using these skills and the same traditional methods to create similar "portraits" of plants. She is drawn to the beauty and fragility of the botanical world and aims to produce simple but structural images to portray the living essence of the plants themselves. This can be seen both in her latest photographs and cyanotype prints.

Hitomi Hosono (Japanese, b. 1978) A Kaze and Hawthorn Bowl Signed on the base Moulded, carved and hand-built porcelain with an interior of dancing sprigs, 2020 13cm high x 15cm diameter This lot is subject to VAT on the hammer price. Horatio's Garden will receive 50% of the hammer price. "I receive inspiration from greenery in East London. Often when rambling with my friend I discover interesting plants; touching them to feel the texture and to examine the structure. First, I design a leaf or flower sprig by studying organic botanical forms. I analyse the plant forms by looking, touching, and drawing. I examine how the veins of a leaf branch and how its edges are shaped. After the completion of original sprig models and the plaster moulds, I press-mould hundreds of leaf sprigs in porcelain and carefully and patiently carve the finer details. I then apply the porcelain leaves in layers onto a form thrown on a potter's wheel. I apply the leaves so densely that the underlying shape is entirely hidden, like the multitude of green leaves, which obscure the branches of a tree. It is my intention to transfer the leaf's beauty and detail into my ceramic work, using it as my own language to weave new stories for objects."

Her work features in 'Contemporary Botanical Art' by Shirley Sherwood and is represented in many private collections.
