Lot 462
A Minton secessionist vase designed by Léon Solon and John Wadsworth, circa 1900, tubelined in light brown and turquoise, printed marks including 'No.42', 13cm highAnglosia or Secessionist ware as it came to be known was a widely produced type of pottery which falls under the loose descriptive term of 'Art Nouveau'. An exhibition of the Secession had been held in Vienna in 1898, and Minton's own bold adoption of the name came as part of a move to be identified in the public mind as a part of this progressive European movement of design.Ironically, Minton's 'Secessionist' ware follows little in form from its European counterparts. Instead, an influence from the Glasgow School of Arts and Arts and Crafts takes precedence beyond the continental Art Nouveau from which they took their name.

Lot 105
A Caughley dessert plate with a blue painted scene within a gilt spangled border, circa 1785-93, impressed Salopian mark, 20.8cm diameter (gilding rubbed)Provenance: Wright Collection no. 875, purchased in 2011. From the Star and Spangles service, the painting on plate may be influenced by a Continental or Fantasy scene. It was Gaye Blake Roberts who first shed significant light on these designs in 1974 within an English Ceramic Circle Transaction paper in which it was reported that the source of several scenes from a Bright Landscapes dessert service were taken from Paul Sandby's Virtouosis' Museum published in 1778. The Gold Star Border and Spangles dessert service was first illustrated in 1969 by Godden. Research has shown that there are at least two dessert services with this gilt design.
Lot 162
A Caughley mask head cabbage leaf jug, circa 1796-99, transfer-printed in underglaze blue with the Fisherman or Pleasure Boat pattern, unmarked, 19.3cm highProvenance: Wright Collection no.768, purchased on Ebay from Indiana in 2006. A late example, probably using a 1796 mould, the pattern is a light blue and the transfer has run. This running is most likely because of both the factory cutting corners and the variability of availability of resources in the late period.
Lot 21
A Caughley punch bowl transfer-printed with the Punch Bowl Sprays pattern and the monogrammed initials 'E.H REA', unmarked, 26cm diameter (light glaze craze to foot rim)Provenance: Wright Collection no.992, purchased in 2016 from D. Norley.Literature: Newsletter May 2016 no.66 p23.This is a very interesting piece with three of the Punch bowl sprays (4, 5 & 6) round the outside and several butterflies and insects, including a dragonfly. It also has the Iris pattern which is part of the third Punch bowl spray and not strictly speaking another pattern despite being including as such in the Caughley Blue and White Patterns on the basis of a bowl in Shrewsbury Museum. The border is the printed Peony one. Caughley did both painted and printed whilst Worcester did only a painted version. So the join gives it away. The style of lettering of the monogram matches of the examples illustrated page in The Caughley Society, Caughley Blue and White Patterns, p233-236.
