A Brett Guthrie Leach Pottery stoneware teapot, with bamboo handle, personal and pottery seal.From the Bret Guthrie CollectionOriginally born in Barrow-in-Furness in 1916, to a Russian mother and English father, Bret Guthrie moved to Cornwall in 1926 when his father's work took the family to Falmouth, where he enjoyed his school years before the family moved again to East London. He later returned to Cornwall to await his army call-up for WWII. Whilst living in Nancledra, a cycling accident in St Ives threw him quite literally, at the feet of David Leach, son of the renowned potter. This led to a life-long friendship with both father and son, as well as a job dealing with the pottery's accounts. During his time at the Leach Pottery he also learnt about glazes, clay preparation and fired a few of his own pots. When the original kiln hearth, built by Tsurunosuke Matsubayashi in 1922 came to the end of its useful life, Guthrie and David Leach constricted a new one. At this time, Bernard Leach was away teaching at Dartington and as he and his son were so busy, Bret was tasked with experimenting with clay mixes and glazes and recording the results for the use of the pottery. Through Leach, Bret met and befriended many of the St Ives artists, Peter Lanyon, Naum Gabo, Adrian Stokes, Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson etc. He married, and despite his role as a pilot in the RAF, he survived the war unscathed and took up teaching in 1946. Bret and Wendy became close friends with Francis Horne and her daughter Marjorie. It was Francis a local wealthy philanthropist who lived at Tremorna in Carbis Bay who offered Bernard Leach a capital loan of £2500 to set up his pottery with Hamada and also an assured income of £250 for 3 years and it was from Marjorie that Wendy inherited a cottage and collection of Leach pottery. It is a tantalising thought that some of the lots offered in this sale may have been personal gifts from Leach to his benefactor.Bret followed a productive and satisfying career, teaching in various Cornish schools and enjoying the exciting social life of post-war St Ives. He took an active interest in archaeology and joined many important digs and his work in Cornish pre-history led to his induction as a Bard in the Cornish Gorseth in 1959. In later life, he travelled extensively and involved himself in many local community projects including the creation of the Tate St Ives. It was here at the Tate in 2001, where Bret passed away whilst invigilating. Condition report: Slight roughness of spout.

Glasgow - A rare Scottish provincial teapot M&Co (un recorded) marked to base M&Co in script, M&Co in script (maker's mark), S, of inverted pear shape with chased floral, fruit and scroll border, twin scroll formed cartouche, with fluted slender S spout and simple acanthus leaf capped C scroll handle with wooden insulators, the hinged lid with engraved trailing foliate and bud finial Length: 18cm, weight: 24.5oz Notes: Although this mark is often attributed to Milne & Campbell of Glasgow, closer inspection of this punch reveals it is not the standard 'M&C' punch commonly encountered, but a much rarer punch of 'M&Co' in script for an unidentified maker. It would appear the maker is contemporary to the period of Milne & Campbell so perhaps the mark being in script was aimed at stopping any confusion between the two makers.

Glasgow - A Scottish provincial teapot stand James McEwan, marked JMc, Glasgow town mark, JMc, S, of shaped oval outline with finely cast foliate and shell border, the well with chased fruiting foliage and arched borders containing engraved armorial, raised on four hoof feet Length: 22cm, weight: 10.5oz The Arms of Napier The armorial bearings are those of a branch of the family of Napier. They may be blazoned as follows: Arms: Argent a saltire engrailed between four roses gules all within a bordure or Crest: A dexter hand holding an eagle's leg erased in bend [sinister] proper armed gules Motto: Nill (sic) veretur veritas [Truth fears nothing] Upon the balance of probability and without any evidence to the contrary these armorial bearings reflect a kinship with the family of Napier of Ballikinrain in the County of Dumbartonshire. Given the presumed date of manufacture of this teapot stand its owner may have been a cousin to John Napier of Ballikinrain (died October 1784), the 13th of Ballikinrain and his wife, Janet Buchanan, the daughter of Moses Buchanan of Glinns in the County of Stirlingshire. Sadly, there is a dearth of genealogical information upon the branches of the particular branch of the Napier family that would assist in pinpointing which member of the family bore these armorial bearings. So, saying, there is the possibility that a viable candidate for ownership would be one of the sons of John and Janet's only child, Janet Napier of Ballikinrain (died 1st May 1801), the 14th of Ballikinrain who married in 1776 Robert Dunmore who took the name and designation of Napier of Ballikinrain by the Courtesy of Scotland.
