* GRAEME WILCOX (SCOTTISH b. 1967),DANCING BUGoil on canvas, signed versoimage size 153cm x 178cm, overall size 169cm x 194cmFramed.Note: After graduating from Glasgow School of Art in 1993, Wilcox continues to prosper as a painter based in Glasgow. He exhibits regularly in solo shows and group exhibitions throughout the UK and Europe. Recent work depicts people and events experienced in public spaces around the city. These paintings show figures engaged in ambiguous actions in half-remembered spaces. The situations and scenes have lodged in the memory due to some resonance or poignancy that can't quite be dismissed. The resulting paintings are partly an attempt to balance a sense of stillness with a sense of movement; a tension that hopefully generates a heightened feeling of the strangeness of everyday life and those around us. Graeme has collaborated on a number of multimedia projects with Mischief-la-bas-performance group and with other artists, culminating in projects at the Arches and Tramway in Glasgow and the Albany Theatre in London. He has also organised two large scale mural projects in collaboration with the East End Community Arts for Glasgow Health Board and devised and ran "Face to Face" photography project in Glasgow. This Arts Council funded project culminated in a temporary public artwork at the East End Festival in Glasgow. In 2011 he completed a prestigious portrait commission for the newly opened Conway Hall in London. Graeme's work is held in private collections in Europe, the USA and Canada and in public collections in Petrezovodsk, Russia and the Gulf State of Qatar. He is also held in the Corporate Collection of the Royal Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh. A recent example of Graeme Wilcox's work to be offered in our auctions was "On the Same Page" (a 112 x 102 cm oil on canvas) which was sold in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 28th March 2021, lot 722 for £5000 (hammer).

A rare Vezzi teapot and cover, circa 1725The body lobed and moulded with a circular panel on each side painted with a green and gilt flower motif, the shoulder moulded with an overlapping scale pattern decorated in green and gilding, the spout with a terminal in the shape of a palmette, the centre in green and gilding, applied with an angular strapwork handle, the cover similarly decorated with the overlapping scale pattern and applied with a knop finial, 14.5cm high, incised fC(?) (finial restuck on cover, chip with associated haircrack to top of handle) (2)Footnotes:The shape of this rare pot appears unrecorded, although it bears resemblance in the fluting around the side gadrooning around the footrim and the scale pattern on cover and shoulder, to a teapot in the collection of Dr Giovanni Lokar (as published by Andreina d'Agliano, Porcellane Italiane dalla Collezione Lokar (2013) cat. no 13.).The incised Cf mark under the base of the pot and inside the cover is consistent with other Vezzi pieces, for example a teapot most recently sold at Christie's, 25 April 2017, lot 84, and a teapot in the Victoria and Albert Museum (C.121&A-1930). The Vezzi factory in Venice was the third factory in Europe (after Meissen and du Paquier) to produce a hard-paste porcelain. The factory was founded by Giovanni Vezzi (1686-1746), a nobleman, whose father Franceso Vezzi, provided funding to build a porcelain manufactory. It is a story of industrial espionage which was discussed by Francesco Stazzi, Porcellane della Casa Eccelentissima Vezzi (1967) in great detail, and was most recently revisited and supplemented by Luca Melegati (op.cit in A. d'Agliano (2013) p. 19). Production began in 1720 after Vezzi was able to secure the knowledge and experience of some foreign arcanists, mostly from the du Paquier manufactory in Vienna, to come to Venice to assist him in setting up the workshop. These included Christoph Conrad Hunger from du Paquier, who is listed in 1720 as a partner in the new factory, but who broke off his association with the Giovanni Vezzi in 1724 and left Venice in 1727. Although never commercially viable like the other famous Veneto factory founded some decades later by Geminiano Cozzi, Vezzi did manage to produce a remarkable range of wares using clay from the Veneto region. These are notable for their unique and individual baroque shapes, often combined with polychrome colours and gilding. In 1727 the factory was forced to close due to financial difficulties, and the production spanned less than a decade.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
