Regensburg, München 2007, S. 465, WVZ-Nr. 7616 Seit unserer Gründung im Jahr 1993 haben wir kaum eine Jugendstilauktion durchgeführt, in der wir nicht auch Erzeugnisse der Keramikmanufaktur Friedrich Goldscheider präsentiert haben. Aber noch nie haben wir ein Objekt dieses Unternehmens anbieten können, das derart beklemmend dessen Schicksal in der Zeit der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft veranschaulicht: Eigentümer der 1882 gegründeten „Wiener Manufaktur Friedrich Goldscheider“ war im Jahr 1938 der aus einer jüdischen Familie stammende Walter Goldscheider. Unmittelbar nach der Okkupation Österreichs durch das nationalsozialistische Deutschland wurde er verhaftet; während dieser Haft wurde Walter Goldscheider gezwungen, sein Unternehmen um 50.000 Reichsmark, das entsprach 6 % des Vorjahresumsatzes, an den deutschen Staatsbürger Josef Schuster und dessen Ehefrau zu verkaufen. Ab dann – bis zu seiner Restitution kurz nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges – trat das Unternehmen unter der Bezeichnung „Wiener Manufaktur Josef Schuster“ auf. Im Jahr 1936 brachte die Manufaktur Friedrich Goldscheider zahlreiche dunkelhäutige Frauen darstellende Wandmasken, Büsten, Kopfskulpturen und Buchstützen auf den Markt. Darunter auch eine sogenannte Stehmaske, die den Kopf einer jungen Frau afrikanischer Herkunft zeigte. (Abbildung) In der Zeit der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft in Österreich galten die meisten dunkelhäutigen Menschen als „rassisch minderwertig“. Die Gesichtsskulptur wurde daher – ebenso wie das Unternehmen – „arisiert“: Die Form blieb zwar gleich, aber die dunkle Hautfarbe wurde gegen eine weiße ausgetauscht; und die gekräuselten Haare wurden durch blonde Locken ersetzt. Die nationalsozialistische Ideologie hat also – hier besonders sichtbar – bis in die Kunstproduktion durchgeschlagen. Hergestellt ist das Objekt um 1942 worden. Im Jahr 1946 wurde der zwischen Walter Goldscheider und Josef Schuster zustande gekommene Kaufvertrag als nichtig aufgehoben und die Wiener Manufaktur Friedrich Goldscheider – allerdings schwer beschädigt und wirtschaftlich zugrunde gerichtet – seinem früheren Eigentümer zurückgegeben.

Koloman Moser Vase, Kunstgewerbeschule, Wien, 1900 Keramik, weißer Scherben, eingeprägtes und eingeschnittenes Muster, blau und grün glasiert, H. 14,5 cm aus dem Besitz Familie Fritz Wärndorfer; danach Privatbesitz U.S.A.; seit 1985 Privatbesitz Großbritannien Witt-Dörring (Hg.), Koloman Moser. Designing Modern Vienna 1897-1907, München, London, New York 2013, Abb. S. 252-54 Im Frühjahr 1899 ist Koloman Moser ein Posten als Lehrer für Malerei an der Kunstgewerbeschule des österreichischen Museums für Kunst und Industrie in Wien in Aussicht gestellt worden. Diesem Angebot lag die Erwartung des Leiters der Kunstgewerbeschule zugrunde, dass Moser seine Schüler sowohl in dem (Haupt)Fach Malerei, als auch im Entwerfen und Schaffen von kunstgewerblichen Gegenständen ausbilden werde. Moser hat die in ihn gesetzten Erwartungen vollauf erfüllt: Der von ihm festgelegte Lehrstoff seiner Klasse umfasste, ganz den Prinzipien des Gesamtkunstwerks und daher auch der Gleichwertigkeit aller Kunstgattungen verpflichtet, Malerei, andere Formen von bildender Kunst sowie mannigfaltige Arten des Kunstgewerbes. Seine Schüler sollten nicht mehr, wie bis dahin üblich, nur im Nach- und Abzeichnen von Vorbildern unterrichtet werden, sie sollten Neues entwerfen und diese neuen Entwürfe womöglich auch eigenhändig ausführen. Um diese frühe Form des „learning by doing“ bei der Herstellung von Keramikobjekten realisieren zu können, richtete die Kunstgewerbeschule sogar eine eigene Töpferwerkstätte ein; und sie arbeitete mit einigen Wiener Unternehmen, die ihre Betriebe in räumlicher Nähe zu der Kunstgewerbeschule hatten, zusammen: Etwa mit den Manufakturen Förster (Wien III, Landstraßer Hauptstraße 27) und Josef Böck (Wien IV, Wiedner Hauptstraße 25-27). Gleich nach seiner Bestellung hat Kolo Moser erste Entwürfe für Keramikobjekte geschaffen und dabei von ihm in den Jahren zuvor entwickelte Flächendekore auf sphärische Objekte umgelegt. (Abbildung) Seine Entwürfe für keramische Gefäße – bezeichnet hat er sie selbst durchwegs als „Thonwaren“ und „Blumenvasen aus gebranntem Thon“ – veranschaulichen die geniale Fähigkeit des Künstlers, seine bis dahin nur bei grafischen Arbeiten gezeigten Talente auch bei dreidimensionalen Kunstwerken zu beweisen. Die nach seinen Entwürfen ausgeführten Stücke waren nicht signiert, wir können sie dennoch als eindeutige Arbeiten Mosers aus fünf Fotografien identifizieren, die aus dem Nachlass des Künstlers stammen. Sie zeigen 18 entweder von der Fabrik Josef Böck oder in den Räumen der Kunstgewerbeschule selbst ausgeführte Vasen, die allesamt geritzte Dekore und/oder einfache Einprägungen aufweisen, durch die Moser eine materialgerechte Be- und Verarbeitung veranschaulichen wollte. Die Formen sind allesamt einfach, sie zeigen uns, dass der Künstler sich das Material Ton eben erst erschlossen hat und dass auch der Umgang mit Raumkörpern und deren Dekoration für ihn etwas Neues gewesen ist. Mit diesen bewusst simplen Formen und Dekoren wollte Moser Zweierlei beweisen: Zum einen, dass seine Schüler, wenn ihnen nur das notwendige Selbstvertrauen anerzogen wird, solche Kunstwerke selbst schaffen können. Zum anderen, dass Schüler der Klasse Malerei der Kunstgewerbeschule der Idee des Gesamtkunstwerkes verpflichtet sind und daher auch Blumenvasen aus Ton entwerfen und herstellen können sollten. Ihr Lehrer Moser wollte dabei mit gutem Beispiel vorangehen: An der Erzeugung der von ihm entworfenen Gefäße hat er sicher selbst mitgewirkt. Viel spricht dafür, dass er zwar die Rohlinge von einem professionellen Töpfer herstellen hat lassen, dass er aber alle restlichen Arbeiten, also das Einprägen und Einschneiden des Oberflächendekors und das Glasieren der Oberflächen, selbst ausgeführt hat. Unklar ist, ob die Entwürfe mehrmals ausgeführt worden sind oder ob es sich um Unikate handelt. Wahrscheinlicher ist Letzteres, weil bis heute bloß fünf der auf der Fotografie abgebildeten Gefäße aufgetaucht sind, jedes nur ein einziges Mal. Unsere Vase ist also ein kunst- und kulturhistorisches Dokument von großer Bedeutung; sie steht am Anfang des von der Kunstgewerbeschule Wien ausgehenden „Wien um 1900“-Kunststils und ist von größter Rarität.

DONALD W VANDY (20th century)'Oil Bombs in Ewell'signed l.r., oil on canvas50.5 x 76cmThere were several 'Firemen Artists’ exhibitions at The Royal Academy in the 1940s: September 1941, 28 Aug-26 Sept 1942, 4 Nov-3 Dec 1943 and 27 Oct-3 Dec 1944.Donald W Vandy was a fireman at Epsom Station38-E/5-Z.

The action is fairly tight with only a minute amount of light seen on close inspection when the held up to a strong light source on the left hand side only.

The end cap of the forend is missing. The case has significant signs of wear from use but good overall patina. The two ends of the lid have been replaced as have the straps. The block for which the breach end of the barrels buts up against in the case is loose and is perhaps replaced. It cannot be conclusively ascertained either way if the case is original to the gun.

Harrison 12 bore percussion double barrel shotgun, with 29 inch Damascus barrels, chequered stock with vacant escutcheon, scroll engraved action, fitted into a period oak case in need of repair.Section 58(2) Antique /obsolete calibre, can be owned without a licence.Condition report: The gun is generally in good order with working actions and nice presentable patina. The metalwork has light overall pitting. the stock has the usual scuffs and marks from use. There is a deep scratch near the butt plate. The wood and lockplate have a recently scuff on the left-hand side where a screwdriver or tool has been forced into the case to break it open (hence the damage to the case). I suspect this gun may have been on licence and has not been properly cleaned. A jag and then patches return with thick rust coloured greasy grim but following this work look shinny. There are a couple of shadows in the bore which are probably light pitting. Without a large amount of cleaning it cannot be guaranteed that the bores are completely free of pitting. The barrels have been rebrowned but externally look in good order. There is a strange dark coloured patch on the outside of the left tube see images uploaded. I think this could be a dent that has been lifted as there is a corresponding shadow ring to the inside of the bore in a similar area to this dark patch.
Barnett Commando Crossbow, fitted with Tasco 4x32 scope, together with case, spare bow, and quiver of arrows.No licence required to buy this item, purchaser must be over the age of 18. Cannot be posted to a home address and can only be posted to a Registered Firearms Dealer.Condition report: The crossbow has been stored in a damp area and consequently there is some light corrosion spots to the metal work generally, this would clean up fairly easily on the steel parts but perhaps not on the brass coloured parts. There are scuffs and marks from use but no major damage that I can see. The string is frayed and whilst it will still take the tension of cocking the bow it could probably do with being replaced. The optics are clear and focused to sight through.
Mauser G98 7.92 bolt action rifle, with 30 inch barrel, by DWM serial number 3427 (matching numbers throughout) unit marking to butt disk.UK RFD OR A FIREARMS LICENCE WITH CORRECT VARIATION .7.92, 8mm or 8x57 RIFLE REQUIRED TO BUY THIS LOT.Condition report: Action works but bore has some pitting. Rifling is still present but could do with a good clean.The Gew98 has been left in store since the 1970s and hasn’t had much attention since then. The bore is grubby and has light pitting but there is still strong rifling in there. I think with a lot of cleaning the bore would improve significantly but I don’t think it will ever be 100% perfect. The bolt and action appear to function correctly and have some polish remaining as with other parts of the gun there is light corrosion. The metalwork generally has pitting and corrosion the worst part being the butt plate. The other strange thing is the stock which has a two tone effect. From the bolt back through the stock the gun has a very dark finish whereas stock from the bolt forwards has a nice light wood typical of a Mauser in very good condition. It almost looks like the gun has been stored in a saddle holster (if such a thing existed for a Gew98!) and the butt has seen the elements and the rest of the gun has remained dry and safe. In all this will need a lot of TLC but could improve drastically from how it presents currently.

Harrison of Norwich 4 bore percussion wildfowling gun, with 41 inch Damascus barrel fitted with folding leaf backsight, with modern reproof marked 5/1 chequered pistol grip stock, scroll engraved action, fitted with under-barrel ramrod but is accompanied by a modern made loading rod.Section 58(2) Antique /obsolete calibre, can be owned without a licence.Condition report: The gun has had a modern reproof and at this point has been re-browned. The action works correctly. There is light surface pitting to the parts that have not been refinished and corrosion around the nipple. The stock has been crudely repaired at the forend. It looks like it has split around the barrel keys from recoil and a patch of wood has been let in on the inside. The repairs have been covered with brown paint on the inside and outside and this could do with stripping off and redoing for the gun to look it's best. The bore has a few patches of pitting which are probably too deep to remove easily but is largely clean. One ramrod pipe has been re-attachded. I am not confident as to the ramrods originality to the gun but it is a good fit.
