A PAIR OF FRENCH EMAILLE ENAMEL URNSMID 19TH CENTURYEach tapering to a socle and spread foot, one signed Ch PARIS et CIE au BOUGET PRIZ PARIS (SEINE)61cm high, 55cm diameter The highly renowned firm of Charles-Emile Paris specialised in the manufacture of crystal glass, enamelled and mosaic embellished products. The crystal making and enamelling firm was founded in 1827 or1829 at rue de Bercy by his father, Jean-Alexandre Paris, who was the jeweller goldsmith of the Palais Royal. In 1867 Charles-Emile Paris left the Parisian site due to the new law forbidding the emission of industrial smoke in the capital, and founded a new factory at Le Bourget (Seine) at the site of a Louis XV hunting lodge. The new plant was destroyed during the war of 1870 and ruined Charles-Emile Paris; he had to sell the land in order to rebuild the factory on the leased site. The business was successful and the number of employees grew steadily and subsequently a retail shop was opened at rue de Paradis in the 10th arrondissement of Paris in 1876. It was a dynamic and innovative firm, which ensured its success. Among the most notable and prestigious of its achievements was the supply of enamels (1847) for the tomb of Napoleon at the Invalides, decorative mosaic enamels at the Casino de Monte-Carlo (1879), and winning a number of highly prestigious awards at the Paris International Exhibitions in 1867, 1878 and 1889 in various categories. Charles-Emile Paris also specialised in making elegant enamelled cast iron urns and jardinières for the display of plants in conservatories.

Six: Lieutenant P. O. Ellman-Brown, 11th Battalion (The Queen’s Westminsters), Kings Royal Rifle Corps, later Rhodesian Police Reserve, who was murdered in Zimbabwe by ‘dissidents’ in August 1982 1939-45 Star; Italy Star; War Medal 1939-45; Zimbabwe Independence 1980 (19716); Rhodesia, General Service Medal (7052P F/R Ellman-Brown P.O.); Police Reserve Long Service Medal (7052P. F/R P.O. Ellman-Brown), with Police Reserve cloth insignia, generally good very fine (6) £200-£240 --- Phillip Owen Ellman-Brown was born in Bulawayo, Rhodesia in August 1922. He was educated at the Diocesan College Rhondebosch, Cape Town. Ellman-Brown was commissioned Lieutenant in the 11th Battalion (The Queen’s Westminsters), Kings Royal Rifle Corps in 1943, and he served with this motorised unit in Italy and Greece. After the war he was employed by the Rhodesian Police Reserve, and subsequently lived as a farmer at U’Guizan Ranch. Ellman-Brown was murdered, 8 August 1982, and extracts from an article that appeared in the New York Times give the following: ‘A white farmer was reported today to have been killed in western Zimbabwe by those officially termed ‘dissidents’. The event, a killing in cold blood on an empty, remote road, was not the kind of thing to raise too many eyebrows. This southern African nation, once called Rhodesia and run by its white minority, has known violence and war for the last eight years. Yet to some who doubt Prime Minister Robert Mugabe’s ability to construct a final peace, the death of Phillip Ellman-Brown, 50 miles north of the city of Bulawayo, coincided with other portents that have eroded the hopefulness that surrounded the nation at independence in 1980. Mr Ellman-Brown was killed close to an area where more than 2,000 soldiers and policemen have been hunting in vain for the last 16 days for a group of ‘dissidents’ holding hostage six foreign tourists, two of them American, to enforce demands for the release of detained comrades....’ Sold with copied research.

Ensemble de trois figures en porcelaine modelées par Peter Strang représentant un jongleur, un cracheur de feu et une danseuse au serpent, Meissen, circa 1996-1997 Three Meissen figures modelled by Peter Strang depicting a juggler, a fire eater and a female snake dancer, circa 1996-1997The Juggler signed P Strang in gilding to back of base, the fire eater and snake dancer with a dedication on the base in gilding to Prof. Rafael, 25.5cm-29cm high, The Juggler: crossed swords mark in underglaze-blue, impressed model number 60603, impressed 26 C{?}, impressed 'von 11 Urstuecken No 2'; the Fire Easter: crossed swords mark in underglaze-blue, impressed model number 60602, impressed 1S; The Snake Dancer: crossed swords mark in underglaze-blue, impressed model number 60601, impressed 12 S (3)Footnotes:Peter Strang (b. 1936) is considered one of the most important post-war artists working at Meissen. He says of himself 'I always wanted to produce serious art, be ever so dramatic, like Lembruch or Barlach. But then everything (I made) turned out funny, although it wasn't meant to!' 'The material doesn't always do what you want it to, and sometimes it is better to simply listen to what it is saying to you. You start with something big and long, and you end up with something small and fat!' 'I never intended to stay this long at the factory, but the material just didn't want to let me go.'After WWII, and after the founding of the DDR in 1949, the Meissen factory started up again. Initially it looked to the past for its modellers and approached Willy Münch-Khe and Paul Börner, but soon the management of the factory realised they needed a new artistic impulse and started buying models from independent artists, no doubt well-aware the same method had been employed successfully by Pfeiffer before the war. When the factory became more commercially viable a group of young, progressive artists became attached to the factory: the Kollektiv Künstlerische Entwicklung [collective for artistic development] included Rudi Stolle, Peter Strang, Heinz Werner and Ludwig Zepner. They followed in the footsteps of Scheurich, Esser and Börner and developed a new stylistic language in porcelain, still rooted in the traditions of the 250 or so preceding years. The best-known artistic output of this collective of artists is perhaps the 250-part Jagdservice [hunting service] of 1973, which was most recently exhibited at the Hetjens Museum in Düsseldorf (Märchenhaftes Meissen - Traumwelten der DDR, November 2019-April 2020).
