AMENDED DESCRIPTION - Dan Kelly (b.1953)Footed dish with abstract decoration, 1979PorcelainUnmarked21cm diameter, 5.5cm highProvenanceDan Kelly has advised that this was made for his final show exhibition of his work completed whilst at the RCA.  The piece was purchased by Grahame Clarke, who had been his tutor during the period of study 1977-1979.The Grahame Clarke Collection of British Studio Ceramics.The Grahame Clarke collection of British Studio Ceramics (lots 163-179)Grahame Clarke (1942-2014) was a potter, Royal College of Art ceramics lecturer and collector. He was first influenced by such names as Harry Davis, Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada but rather than producing one-off pieces for display, he focused on producing handmade, usable tableware. In 1974 he co-founded Highland Stoneware in Lochinver, Scotland, and in 1991 founded Grahame Clarke Porcelain, in Norfolk.Grahame graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1962. As a student he assisted Harry Davis at his studios in Cornwall, and after graduation went to Stoke-on-Trent, working for Price and Kensington and Royal Doulton. He also travelled to Denmark to work for Bing and Grøndahl.Later he joined the Royal College as a senior lecturer in glass and ceramics, and worked there for over 20 years. In the ceramics department he worked alongside the artist Eduardo Paolozzi and the pottery designer David Douglas, Marquess of Queensberry. Grahame Clarke’s porcelain combined the durable porcelain body, modelled on 17th-century Chinese pottery, with a free hand-painted style inspired by the Delftware and Lowestoft blue-and-white decorations of the 16th and 17th centuries. He sold work under his own name, as well as producing contemporary design commissions for Heal’s, for the interior designer Jane Churchill and for the tableware retailer Thomas Goode.

When it emerged that Knox would not be returning to Kingston, a group of his former students also resigned their places in protest. One of these students, Denise Wren (nee Tuckfield), went on to help establish the Knox Guild of Design and Craft in 1912, a studio workshop in Kingston-Upon-Thames where Knox continued to be a source of inspiration. Wren’s own pottery designs in the 1910s and 1920s can be seen to incorporate Knox’s Art Nouveau and Celtic motifs clearly. The Oxshott Pottery was set up by Denise Wren and her husband Henry at their home, Potters Croft, in Oxshott, Surrey in 1920.

§ Akiko Hirai (Japanese 1970-) Large Moon Jar, 2017 painted artist's mark, grogged stoneware, rugged and cracked porcelain deposits with running ash glaze Dimensions:48cm high, 43cm diameter (18 7/8in high, 16 7/8in diameter)Provenance:Provenance:The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh, Akiko Hirai: In Praise of Shadows, 2017.Note: Known for her exploration of the contrast between rough clay and smooth, translucent glaze, Akiko Hirai is one of the most prominent contemporary ceramicists producing work presently. Born in Japan in March 1970, Hirai originally studied cognitive psychology before she was inspired to take up ceramics following her discovery of the Korean moon jars in the British Museum. She relocated to London in 1999 and enrolled at University of Westminster in 2000 and then Central St. Martins in 2002 to study ceramics. From 2004 until 2015, she taught ceramics at the Kensington & Chelsea College in London, where she was the head of the ceramics department for the final three years. Hirai describes her work as a response to human senses, with each piece being made up of unique deep textures, cool colours, and simple forms to allow the viewer to understand her works in their own terms. The way in which she blends Japanese and British pottery techniques results in her celebrated, asymmetrical natural forms that are distinctly contemporary and evoke the inspiration she finds in her urban environment along with everyday scenery. Motivated by the excitement of turning her visualised ideas into reality, she embraces imperfection, irregularity, and chance in line with the Japanese tradition of Shibui that refers to an aesthetic of simple, and unobtrusive beauty. The resulting ceramics are at once subtle and quiet yet shocking and unexpected.

SUFFRAGETTE TEA SERVICEComplete tea service designed by Sylvia Pankhurst, decorated with the badge of the Women's Social and Political Union printed in green and washed in purple, a trumpeting angel under the banner 'FREEDOM' and the initials 'WSPU', the rims and angular handles also picked out in green enamel, comprising a teapot and cover, six cups, six saucers, six small plates, a cake plate, a sucrier and a milk jug, teapot 14.2cm high, printed marks for H M Williamson and Sons of Longton, c.1909 (23)Footnotes:A RARE COMPLETE SUFFRAGETTE TEA SET DESIGNED BY SYLVIA PANKHURST WITH FINE PROVENANCE.No firm produced pottery and porcelain in support of the women's suffrage movement commercially, so pieces such as this service were commissioned by the movement itself. In early 1909 the WSPU commissioned Williamson's of Longton, Staffordshire to produce wares for use in the refreshment room at the Prince's Skating Rink Exhibition held in Knightsbridge for two weeks in May 1909. Each piece bears Sylvia Pankhurst's 'Angel of Freedom' in the WSPU colours, a motif designed specifically for the exhibition. After the exhibition the china was sold off in sets of 22 pieces to raise funds for the cause. Votes for Women of 13 May 1910 noted that some was still available to purchase; 'a breakfast set for two, 11s; small tea set, 15s; whole tea set £1; or pieces may be had singly' (Crawford, Elizabeth, The Women's Suffrage Movement: A Reference Guide 1866-1928, 1999, p.108). The motif also appears on many other items such as the illuminated addresses awarded to prisoners, badges and the medallion also included in this sale. Christabel Pankhurst wrote of the opportunity that the exhibition afforded for supporters to purchase a wide variety of items in the WSPU colours and thus spread the message through merchandising: 'every member of the Union will become an advertiser for the movement, and will bring to the Prince's Skating Rink a dozen, or a score, or an even larger number men and women of her acquaintance who... will appreciate for the first time the strength of the woman's movement' (Crawford, p.137).Provenance: A letter included in the lot from the daughter of the original owner, describes how the tea set was originally purchased c.1913 by her mother Lily Kerran, an ardent supporter of women's suffrage, socialist and free thinker. Lily's husband Ferdinand Louis Kerran (1883-1949) was a prominent activist in the British Socialist Party and, from 1920, a member of the executive of the new Communist Party of Great Britain. He had a successful photography business in Bexleyheath with his brother Frederick, who produced postcards, and became an semi-official photographer of WSPU members and events. During the first war he was interned in the Islington workhouse from whence he escaped to New York, rearrested and returned to Brixton prison. As a leading member of the communist party he worked along former suffragettes such as Sylvia Pankhurst, who wrote to his wife on his death in 1949. The tea set was then offered by descendants of the Kerran family at Christie's South Kensington on 10 March 1995 and purchased by the present owner.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
