Lot 111
A good pair of Birmingham enamel plaques, circa 1755Of rectangular form, printed in puce and delicately coloured, one with a 'Macaw and Fruit', the long-tailed parrot perched on a stone ledge reaching to peck at fruit below, including peaches, currants and apples, the other with two long-tailed 'Pheasants' standing on a mound beside a river, with a Chinese pagoda in the distance, in original gilt metal frames, plaques 7.7cm x 9.5cm (2)Footnotes:The 'Macaw and Fruit' appears on a very similar plaque illustrated by Egan Mew, Battersea Enamels (1926), fig.54. Similar 'pheasants' in slightly different poses appear in The Ladies Amusement on pages 68 and 69, the prints signed 'R Hancock'. The pheasants group shown on page 68 of The Ladies Amusement also appears on Worcester porcelain, along with several versions of 'Parrot and Fruit'. It is therefore likely that Robert Hancock was responsible for engraving the present lot, and he is known to have provided engraved plates for early Birmingham enamellers.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 135

A creamboat or small sauceboat of the same form is illustrated by Samuel M Clarke, Worcester Porcelain in the Colonial Williamsburg Collection (1987), p.15, pl.1 and two other examples were sold by Bonhams on 12 November 2014, lot 91 and 31 March 2010, lot 29.

Another example is illustrated by Simon Spero, The A J Smith Collection (2006), p.225. no.128. A Chinese prototype beaker is illustrated on the following page.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

They were invariably angled as evil spirits were supposed only to travel in straight lines.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 148

For an interesting parallel in contemporary underglaze blue decoration at Worcester see the 'Jetty Fisherman' pattern (I.A.1A) illustrated by Branyan, French and Sandon, Worcester Blue and White Porcelain (1981), p.41.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 205
An important and documentary Lowestoft large tureen and cover signed by Robert Allen, circa 1768-70Of oval form with a shaped rim and foot and twin handles, painted in blue on both sides and on the cover with a farmer and three cows beside a pantiled and partly timbered building, a river in the middle distance and two grand houses on the far bank, the cover also with a spaniel-like dog, the interior with Cupid holding a heart, the quatrelobed knop with two tiny landscape panels, 33.5cm wide, 24.5cm high, painter's numeral 5 inside footrim, signed 'Allin' on the underside of the base (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceBonhams sale, 3 June 2015, lot 16This important tureen and cover does not appear in the literature. Its significance lies in the appearance of the signature 'Allin' and painter's numeral 5 together on the same piece, confirming the traditional association of the painter Robert Allen with this painter's number. This association was previously based upon two bowls and a milk jug inscribed with the name of Allen's aunt, Elizabeth Buckle. One of the Buckle bowls bears the date 1768 and all carry the painter's numeral 5. For a comparable documentary piece, bearing both a painter's name and number, see the jug signed by Richard Phillips and inscribed 'Ann Hammond. Woodbridge. April 1764' discussed by Christopher Spencer, Early Lowestoft (1981), figs.9-11.In his book Lowestoft Porcelains (1985), p.217, Geoffrey Godden states that only two tureens of this shape and size are recorded, one of these presumably being the example illustrated by Bernard Watney, English Blue and White Porcelain of the 18th Century (1973), fig.78A. Both examples are painted in blue with a Chinese river scene which also appears on platters and on two similarly shaped tureens of smaller size, one in a private collection and another in Norwich Castle Museum.The present lot is a third example of this shape but painted with an unrecorded and typically quirky pattern. Although the farmhouse in the forefront of the scene has a half-timbered gable and is roofed with pantiles characteristic of eastern England, the building is most unlike those found in Suffolk, with Continental and even Chinese influences in its architecture. The presence of Cupid within the interior of the vessel may suggest that it was made to celebrate a marriage and is perhaps a punch bowl rather than a soup tureen. Certainly its importance must have been recognised by Allen himself, his signature a measure of his pride in such fine work.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 213
A rare Lowestoft egg cup, circa 1765Painted in blue with with a pagoda flanked by trees, flowering plants and a fence on a Chinese island, a sampan and smaller island in the distance, above a tramline border, the spreading foot with a flower sprig and flying insect, a husk or 'berry' border beneath the inner rim, 7cm high, indistinct mark under footFootnotes:ExhibitedLowestoft Bicentenary exhibition 1957, no.65Three different forms of egg cup produced at Lowestoft are illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, Lowestoft Porcelains (1985), p.95, pl.109. The present lot is almost identical to the earliest form illustrated on the left. See also the example discussed by Sheenah Smith, Lowestoft Porcelain in Norwich Castle Museum, Vol.1 (1975), p.129, no.178. The spoon tray, which is lot 203 in this sale is painted with the same scene and the same distinctive 'berry' border.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 230
A Lowestoft teapot and cover, circa 1765Of Hughes type and globular form, moulded to both sides with circular panels edged with flowers, leaves and scrolls incorporating the moulded initials 'I.H.' and the date '1761', painted in blue with Chinese river landscapes, one with a naïve bridge, the other with a boat sailing between two islands, a geometric border around the shoulder and to the rim of the cover, 14cm high, (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceGeoffrey Godden Collection, Bonhams sale, 30 June 2010, lot 133Illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, English Blue and White Porcelain (2004), p.281, pl.343. Another similar teapot is illustrated by Godden, Lowestoft Porcelains (1985), p.75, pl.75. The plain loop handle and straight spout dates both pots closer to 1764-65 when the moulds incorporating '1761' where seemingly still being used at the factory. The geometric border design too is characteristic of the 1764 productions and is discussed on pp.59-62. The panel of a boat between two islands can be seen on an earlier moulded teapot and cover, circa 1759-60, illustrated by Christopher Spencer, Early Lowestoft (1981), p.124, figs.168-70. A teapot in the Fitzwilliam Museum, almost identical to the current lot but with a flower finial, is illustrated by Bernard Watney, English Blue and White Porcelain (1973), pl.75B.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
