Lot 237
A rare Doulton Lambeth art pottery vase by A.G Hopkins dated 1927, of baluster form and with partial experimental blue glaze, signed, 7cm high Born in Lambeth. He was the third generation of a family of potters and was the son of Alfred Hopkins (born c.1865 in Lambeth), a potter and pottery foreman probably at the Doulton Factory. His brother was the potter, Henry Loveday Hopkins (born c.1886 in Lambeth). Alfred George worked as a plasterer in the pottery between c.1901-11. He established himself as a studio potter before 1915 and worked with his brother Henry Loveday as 'Hopkins Brothers' from 208 Lambeth Road and in the 1920s from the Old Lambeth Pottery, 149 Lower Kennington Lane. Their work was collected (c.1926-9) by Sydney K. Greenslade, curator of the Arts and Crafts Museum at the University of Aberystwyth (there are thirty-two items in the collection, reference below). The Hopkins Brothers also modelled animals and figures and marketed materials for other potters. Alfred's work was exhibited at the Fine Art Society in 1927 and 1928. He also organised a show of his work at the Old Lambeth Pottery in 1929 which was compared favourably to pottery by William Staite Murray in a review in 'The Times' (23 November 1929). Around 1932 Alfred (and possibly his brother) relocated to Broadstairs, Kent and established the Stone Pottery. He died in Broadstairs, Kent.
