A very rare Staffordshire saltglaze 'Goat and Bee' jug, circa 1745-50After the Chelsea model, the lower section moulded with two russet goats seated nose to tail, a bee resting on the curved branch under the lip, the naturalistic branch handle applied with leaves at the terminals, picked out in greens, blue, purple and yellow, a leafy border below the shaped rim, 9.2cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceWith Jonathan HorneA fascinating interpretation of the Chelsea porcelain models, dating from circa 1745-47. Although arguably less elegant in stoneware, the palette of the enamelling does resemble the Chelsea polychrome examples, save for the fully coloured goats. An uncoloured saltglaze example formerly in the Collection of Wallace Elliot is in the Nelson-Atkins Museum, Kansas, and is illustrated by Ross E Taggart, The Burnap Collection of English Pottery (1967), p.77, fig.211. This would appear to have been made from the same mould as the present lot. The bee is somewhat diminutive compared to the Chelsea examples. Understandably, the Staffordshire potters sought to simplify the precarious bee, which would have been modelled separately and painstakingly applied to the jug before firing in porcelain. By incorporating the bee into the mould unnecessary kiln losses were minimised. Another saltglaze example with a plain strap handle is illustrated by Diana Edwards and Rodney Hampson, White Salt-Glazed Stoneware of the British Isles (2005), p.93, col. pl.60.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

For a closely related Bow example see Anton Gabszewicz and Geoffrey Freeman, Bow Porcelain (1982), p.104, pl.158. A vase also with closely related leaves and an insect is in the Borough of Newham Collection, see Anton Gabszewicz, Made at New Canton (2000), fig.59.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A very rare Chelsea fluted sugar bowl, circa 1752Of generous size and of fluted form, finely painted in Vincennes style with colourful European flowers with amongst a variety of insects including a green centipede, further insects and flowerheads to the interior below a brown line rim, 7.8cm highFootnotes:Although fluted teabowls of this form appear in Chelsea of the raised anchor and red anchor periods, this larger example, presumably a sugar bowl is incredibly rare. The delicate botanical sprays seen on Vincennes and quirky yet highly detailed insects are found on a number of raised anchor wares. For a pair of similarly decorated plinths marked with red raised anchors, see F Severne Mackenna, Chelsea Porcelain: The Triangle and Raised Anchor Wares (1948), pl.27, no.60.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Gerhild DiesnerBlühende Magnolienbäume1960Öl auf Leinwand; gerahmt69 x 69 cmSigniert und datiert links unten: Diesner 60Privatbesitz, Bozen"Die Malerei muss viel mehr als bloß ein Hobby sein. Sie ist eine Leidenschaft, die das Ganze verlangt, sonst ist alles nur halbe Malerei und halbes Leben. Die Form und Farbe so zu lieben, dass man unglücklich ist, wenn man nicht malen kann, solche Zeiten gibt es viele in meinem Leben. (...) Ich bin sehr abhängig von Stimmungen. Wenn es mir schlecht geht, male ich besser. Früher war ich viel unglücklicher und da habe ich die besten Bilder gemacht."(Gerhild Diesner, Ateliergespräch mit Wolfgang Pfaundler, in: Das Fenster, Winter 1975/76, S. 1709)Gerhild Diesners künstlerisches Schaffen zeichnet sich durch eine eigenwillige Rezeption der französischen Moderne aus. Innerhalb der österreichischen Kunst steht ihr Oeuvre als Bindeglied zwischen der expressiven Tradition und der abstrakten Avantgarde.Gerhild Diesner wurde am 4. August 1915 in Innsbruck geboren. Sie besuchte zunächst die Fachschule für Damenkleidung und begann ihren künstlerischen Werdegang erst mit zwanzig Jahren. 1935 bis 1937 lebte sie in England, besuchte dort zunächst die Chelsea Art School und dann die School of Art in Brighton. 1937 zog sie nach München, um an der Akademie für angewandte Kunst in der Abteilung Gebrauchsgraphik zu studieren. In den Münchener Museen fand ihre erste intensive Auseinandersetzung mit der französischen Kunst statt. Trotz der unruhigen Kriegszeiten, gelang es ihr 1943, ein Studium in Paris an der Académie André Lhote und an der École de la Grande Chaumière bewilligt zu bekommen. Die französische Moderne wurde für ihre Kunst zur wesentlichen Inspirationsquelle. Auch wenn sich die Affinität zum Fauvismus von Henri Matisse und zu anderen großen Vorbildern wie Vincent van Gogh oder Paul Gauguin in ihren Werken deutlich erkennen lässt, entwickelte sie bald eine eigenständige Handschrift.In den Jahren nach dem Krieg erfuhr Diesners Schaffen ihren künstlerischen Höhepunkt. Sie konnte ihre Position innerhalb des Tiroler Kunstbetriebs festigen und ihre Werke auch auf Ausstellungen in Wien, etwa im "Art Club", präsentieren. Sensationell war die Beteiligung an der Biennale für Frauen in Bozen, wo ihre Bilder neben jenen von Sonja Delaunay gezeigt wurden. Nach ihrer Scheidung von Bodo Kampmann 1953 zog sie sich gesellschaftlich zurück und ihre Ausstellungsbeteiligungen wurden geringer. Zunehmend konzentrierte sie ihre beruflichen Aktivitäten auf Tirol. Im langen Werkabschnitt bis zu ihrem Lebensende 1995 blieb sie künstlerisch jedoch äußerst produktiv und hinterließ zahlreiche Bilder, die in ihrer lyrischen Suggestivkraft unverwechselbar bleiben.(Claudia Mörth-Gasser)
