The following 8 lots are by the British ceramic artist Peter Hayes, Peter Hayes was born in Birmingham and after initial studies at the Birmingham College of Art he travelled to Africa, India, Japan, Korea and New Mexico where he worked as a ceramic artist with tribes and he was inspired to use limited technology and tools but rather combining techniques derived from the landscape and his natural surroundings. The distinctive appearance of Peter Hayes' ceramics comes from the techniques like Raku firing which he subjects them but also by submerging them in the river beside his studio in Bath or washing them in the Cornish seas for months at a time. Erosion and change through time and nature are recorded in his pieces . The water washes minerals like copper and metal oxides into the white clay which he works with creating random elements that make every piece individual. Hayes then finishes the works by waxing and polishing. Peter Hayes, British b.1946- Raku bow with blue wave and disc; raku ceramic sculpture on slate base, signed and dated '06 on the base, height 35.5cm, width 19cm, (excluding base) (may be subject to Droit de Suite) CONDITION REPORT: overall there appear to be no damages, visible restorations or chips as such in good original condition Note: some of the cracks & crazing to the surface of the work are filled with polychrome material and others are not it is not clear whether this was part of the intended design of the artist, due to the firing and finishing processes or whether this is due to some movement of the ceramic body or glaze at a later date in some places, in the areas where the crazing is not filled, some sections of the surface of the ceramic sit proud of the overall surface of the work

''The Llanthony Estate Table'', this 13' 4 1/2'' long Oak Refectory Table known as "The High Table" is believed to be being offered for sale on the open market for the first time in 324 years, it has a one-plank top and stands on six carefully shaped square-section legs, an understandably, exceptionally uncommon design; which in comparison with wood-turning, must have taken very considerable time to craft from solid Oak in the late 17th century with the few hand tools available. The table top, which is about 2 1/4'' thick, varies from 31 3/4'' to 33'' wide and the height similarly varies from 31 1/2'' to 33'' approx. The one plank top has been patched in places to bridge splits/shakes and knots, the six square shaped legs are united by perimeter stretchers, the frieze rails being decorated with carved repeated flutes. The three legs to one side are carved respectively with the date "1690", the initials "TW/M" and the number "28". Some damage is evident to a number of the legs. It is unusual, indeed, for so much of an item's past history to be available, it seems highly likely that Llwyn-Celyn Farmhouse at Cwmyoy, near Abergavenny was the table's original home as still extant at that very early building is the associated bench, still attached to the dais partition. Mention of the table being at Llwyn-Celyn is made in Bradney's 1906 History of Monmouthshire, but the table was apparently accepted in lieu of rent by the Llanthony Estate some time subsequent to this and it was taken to Llanthony Abbey/Priory, which was the focal point of the substantial Llanthony Estate. The extrication of the table from the farmhouse caused some considerable logistical difficulties; due to it's great size, and it is understood to have entailed the complete removal and re-installing of a large window. The table has since remained at the private apartment at Llanthony Abbey and it is almost certainly being sold on the open market for the first time in it's existence due to the recent sad demise of the widow of the late Matthew Knight, Esq., the last land agent for the estate; who was resident at the Priory, having in 1963 purchased the over one acre site. His purchase included the magnificent ancient ruins (which have since the 1950's been maintained by Cadw), the private apartment and the Abbey Hotel itself. The sale of the premises has recently been agreed and the table has therefore been removed. The Llanthony Estate itself has a long and interesting history, it was purchased by the renowned poet Walter Savage Landor in the early 19th century, a time when the table was already over a hundred years old. The Abbey is surely one of the most atmospheric sites in the principality, nestling in the base of the valley under the towering backdrop of the surrounding Black Mountains.
