From the Studio of Fred Cuming. An Italian maiolica ‘lemons’ jug, 20cm high. Condition - good Note: “This is an interesting side lot of art and artistic ephemera from the extensive collection of Fred Cuming RA and his wife Audrey, who travelled and worked together around the UK and Europe. They were avid collectors of objects, anything curious or beautiful, many of these items would have caught their eye for some rare aesthetic or technical quality but quite often many items would simply have possessed a unique and naïve charm. There are several pieces that may have been the work of a student or amateur, nevertheless they found them exquisite. The majority of pieces from this small collection were displayed in their home for many years among an incredibly rich and varied array of his own work and that of his contemporaries. They would have been purchased over the course of a period spanning five decades or more, from the family’s early beginnings at Egerton House in Kent, Hythe, Wittersham and finally Iden in East Sussex where the family settled.”

H 33,5 cm.Montelupo, um 1440 – 1450.Der erstmals von Bernard Rackham und J.V.G. Mallett 1977 verwendete Begriff "pseudokufisch" steht für diesen Dekortyp, der ungegenständlich ornamental nach islamischem Vorbild die Gefäße ziert. Er war in Italien im 15. Jahrhundert bekannt durch die ähnlich bemalten Majoliken aus Valencia, die zahlreich importiert wurden und die die Keramiker in Montelupo zu einer eigenen Interpretation inspirierten.
