Lot 336
A silver and enamel snuff / cigarette box, import marks for London 1930, importer's mark of H.C. Freeman, and also with Irish import marks for 1940, rectangular form, engine turned sides and base, the hinged cover enamelled with a cartoon of a man on bended knee with a woman in Islamic dress, with a man peeping round a corner, signed H.M. Bateman, Copyright', length 7.8cm, approx. weight 3,2oz. 'To many admirers of the art of the cartoon, H.M. Bateman is the most original, the most various, the most brilliant - and, indeed, the funniest - genius of his times. Born in 1887, he was already drawing for publication in his early teens. Surprisingly, prolific and inventive, everything he saw became material, so that his work can be read as a social history of Britain in the first half of the 20th Century and, to an extraordinary degree, as a kind of autobiography. His family and friends; his trips to the fair, to the seaside, abroad; his passions for the Music Hall, for tap-dancing, for boxing, for fishing, for golf; his desperate experiences in the First World War; his car, his house, his vacuum-cleaner; his triumphs and disasters over many years - all find their way in to his cartoons'. ref www.hmbateman.com.

By Fred Rich, a modern silver and enamel vase, London 1994, also signed 'Fred Rich 94', tapering cylindrical form, enamelled with four frogs amongst reeds, flowers and foliate decoration, gilded interior, on a raised spread circular foot, height 15.8cm, approx. weight 25oz. Fred Rich (b.1954) studied at the central School of Arts and Design, London. This is where he learnt his skills in enamelling, and also attended evening enamelling classes at the Sir John Cass School of Art . In 1980 Fred won various awards including a bursary from the Royal Society of Arts and another from Goddard's. He graduated in 1981 with a first class honours degree. He set up a workshop in Portobello Green with two fellow graduates from the Central School. The demand for his enamelling skills by other designers resulted in him being so busy he could not get on with his own work. The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths acquired the enamelled vase for which he won another award for in 1982, and in 1983 he started exhibiting at the Goldsmith's Fair, but was mainly offering jewellery with some small piece of silver. In 1984 De Beers purchased one of this necklaces for the trainer of the winner of the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes. Commissions arrived from the British Museum, De Beers, Lambeth Palace and the World Gold Council. Towards the latter half of the 1980's he decided to gradually wind down his work for others and concentrate on his own projects. In the 1990's there was a change in his work and he was one of the four exhibitors of the Rising Star's Exhibition at Goldsmiths Hall in 1990. In 1993 his work was commissioned by Garrard and Co, as part of their 150th anniversary exhibition. His work so impressed Richard Jarvis, the Managing Director of Garrards that he supported a one man show by Fred. in 1997 he received four major accolades including the coveted Jacques Cartier Award. In 2000 he established a partnership Fred Rich Enamel Design, with Adrian Butcher. Reference: Andrew, J. and Styles, D., Designer British Silver The Antique Collector's Club, 2015. pages 406-415. A vase by Fred Rich was exhibited at Treasures of the 20th Century, The Goldsmiths Company, 25 May-21 July 2000, no. 288, illustrated on page 108 of the catalogue.
