*Biography. The Rheads were an old North Staffordshire family who had been connected with pottery production since the 18th century. Frederick Alfred Rhead [1856-1933] was to follow the family tradition of potting but combined it with that of artist and designer. At the age of thirteen he joined Mintons as an apprentice painter and a year later was assigned as an apprentice to Louis Solon, the leading exponent of the difficult and skillful technique of pate-sur-pate. Frederick worked for Solon until 1877 and the following year joined the Wedgwood factory. He also worked as a freelance for firms such as Pinder, Bourne and as art director for James Gildea, Brownfield`s and Wileman & Co. In 1912 he joined Wood & Sons and then in 1929 Cauldon Potteries which at that time was a conglomerate including Royal Crown Derby, Royal Worcester and Ridgways. Five of Frederick`s six children were involved in the pottery business, Frederick Hurten Rhead [1880-1942] and Charlotte [Lottie] Rhead [1885-1947] are probably the best known. Frederick Hurten worked for most of his life in the United States for firms including Tiltonville, Wheeling, The Weller Pottery, Roseville, his own firm Rhead Pottery and the Homer Laughlin China Company. Charlotte Rhead [1885-1947] started her career at Wardle & Co. in Hanley and it was here that she developed her skills as a tubeliner. She subsequently worked for Keeling & Co., T&R Boote and with her father at Wood and Sons. She is probably best known for her work at Burgess & Leigh [Burleigh Pottery] and A.G.Richardson [Crown Ducal]. PROVENANCE: The present collection is being sold on behalf of the Executors of the estate of the late Richard Harry Rhead Cronin. Frederick Alfred Rhead and his wife Adolphine had six children: Frederick, Henry, Marie, Charlotte, Catherine and Adolphine. Richard Harry Rhead Cronin was the son of Marie and therefore Charlotte Rhead`s nephew.

He left Paris for London during the Revolution of 1848, working for French emigree goldsmiths J-V Morel & Co. On returning to Paris, Willms worked for Christofle & Cie and F-D Froment-Meurice on designs for their exhibits at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. For Elkington, his 'Graeco Pompeian' Dessert Service, one of many of his works displayed on the firm's stand at the London International Exhibition in 1862, proved highly popular, leading to the award of the Exhibition Medal at the London International Exhibition of 1862. In particular, the lightness and originality of the strictly classical design provided Elkington with the ideal opportunity to display the Birmingham firm's mastery of the traditional skills of the goldsmith's art combined with its latest technical innovations such as electro-gilding and forming The Art Journal described the Service in glowing terms "A very notable feature in the contributions of Messrs Elkington was a magnificent Dessert Service, designed by A Willms, in the Pompeian style, and executed in silver, enriched with enamel and gold." An electroplated seven-piece example of the design was sold, Sotheby's, The Great Exhibitions Sale, 31 October 2006, lot 537.
