An Eastern Mediterranean core-formed glass amphoriskos, Hellenistic Period, probably 1st-2nd century BC, the cobalt blue body with white threads wound spirally round the neck and combed into festoons on the body in white and ochre, the tall neck with everted rim, with applied angular handles, height 15cm, together with a Roman type vase, with iridescent body (2).Provenance: From the Estates of June Barrington Ward & Maggie Cameron Frazer‘Two Remarkable Ladies’June Barrington-Ward 1922-2002& Maggie Cameron Frazer 1923-2021 For several decades, two remarkable ladies lived contentedly in the remote farmhouse near Lanreath in Cornwall that they had restored and shared since the 1970s.June Barrington-Ward was a sculptor. She trained at Chelsea School of Art and exhibited widely during the 1960s & 70s. Her work featured in group shows in prestigious galleries and locations like the Royal Academy alongside artists such as Denis Mitchell, John Milne & Kim Lim. June was the daughter of Lancelot Barrington-Ward KCVO, a royal surgeon to King George VI and his family. He also played rugby for England. Her grandfather was the vicar of Duloe in Cornwall. Although her work was applauded by contemporary critics, she never pursued recognition. In the words of a family member “she didn’t seek fame and I believe she was simply happy to be left alone to make things.”We have over 80 pieces of June’s impressive sculpture in the Art Section of this sale.Maggie Cameron Fraser was an academic who specialised in antique glass, a subject on which she wrote extensively and lectured at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Some of the very fine pieces in this sale were part of her treasured collection.They met during the Second World War. June, in the WRNS, drove ambulances in London and Maggie worked at Bletchley Park. For many years they shared a large property in Chiswick with a studio, until making the move to Cornwall.Maggie bought their magical house in North Cornwall from the Carlyon Family in 1978. After renovating their home, they settled happily into retirement, Maggie astutely playing the stock market and June continuing to create sculpture. June died in 2002 and Maggie followed her last year.The home they left, and their wonderful collection of art and antiques, stand as a celebration and testament to their happy life together.Condition report: The body with museum-type restoration, formerly in pieces.

The term 'sweete bag' was used in inventories in the 16th and 17th centuries to describe such a receptacle, usually embroidered, which could be filled with dried flowers, aromatic herbs, or scented powder, and thereby used to perfume clothing or stored linens, as well as deter moths and other insects. It is thought that such bags might also have been carried by ladies and used in the same way as a pomander, to ward off infection and unpleasant odours. These meticulously-stitched items of needlework also appear sometimes to have been used to carry small objects such as a pair of gloves, a handkerchief, an almanac, or a small Bible or Book of Prayer, or as gift bags for items such as gold coins. Sometimes a matching pincushion is attached, suggesting the bag was used to contain sewing tools. Such gifts were frequently bestowed on Queen Elizabeth I, for example, to mark the New Year in 1565, William Huggans, Keeper of the Gardens at Hampton Court, gave “twelve sweete bags of taphata enbrauderid with flowers of Venice golde and silver” to the Queen as part of the festive celebrations. The needlework of the 16th and early 17th century invariably looked to nature for its motifs. Both domestic and professional embroiderers used not only pattern books such as Richard Schorleyker's A Schole-House for the Needle published in 1624, but also herbals, emblem books and bestiaries to provide inspiration. A sweet bag of this fineness and delicacy would have been owned by someone of affluence and social standing, and the materials used, as well as the images depicted, would have been chosen to make a statement about the wealth of the owner. At a time when the tulip was prized above all other flowers, it is not surprising that it is given prominence here. Furthermore, striped tulips were the rarest, and therefore the most sought after and expensive. In particular the red-feathered Semper Augustus tulip, which our embroiderer has chosen to dominate the design, was the rarest and most valuable of them all.
