The current owner of the dish informs us that the plate was purchased by his late mother for his father as a gift in the 1920's who was a keen hunter. Dimensions - 21.5cm wide, 18.5cm depth, 5.5cm high WINCHCOMBE POTTERY - HISTORY There has been a pottery on the current site in Greet since at least 1800, 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Winchcombe. Known as Greet Potteries under the management of R A Beckett (who died in 1913), it produced a range of farmhouse ware, advertised as "Garden, Sea-Cale, Rhubarb, & Chimney Pots". Closed in 1914 at the outbreak of World War I, it did not restart again after the war. Bernard Leach is credited with restarting craftsman pottery in Britain in 1920. One of his early students was Michael Cardew who, at 25, was looking for a suitable site for his own pottery and in 1926 rented the old pottery buildings. Influencing his choice were the availability of local clay and the original bottle kiln. Cardew recruited two locals, critically Elijah Comfort, aged 63 and who had worked before in the pottery, and inspirationally, in 1927, Sidney Tustin (aged 13). Cardew wanted people to use his pottery in regular daily use, as has been the tradition in early centuries. He followed the classic English slipware style using the red earthenware Winchcombe clay. After a difficult star and many trials, he managed to start slipware production. Experiments with firing the pots in the bottle kiln were eventually successful. For the produce of three men, the bottle kiln was really too large but it was what they had. A firing went on for three days. Gradually Cardew's skills and hard work were recognised. In 1935 he had one of his pots exhibited in the Victoria and Albert Museum. In 1935 the team was expanded to include Charlie, Sid's younger brother. A young chemist called Ray Finch tried to join the pottery staff in 1935 but was sent away by Cardew to gain some pottery experience. Finch returned in 1936, aged 22, and was able to convince Cardew that he now knew enough and he joined the team. Source www.winchcombepottery.co.uk 12/7/24
An early dish believed to have been produced and decorated by Michael Cardew. The current owner of the dish informs us that the plate was purchased by his late father for his mother as a gift in the 1920's. Making this the first time it has come to the open market. We are advised by the pottery that the circles in the cat are very much in the style of Michael Cardew.

SALAMAN, Michael (1911-87). A collection of letters to Michael Salaman from Charles Aitken (4 letters), Campbell Dodgson (2), Michael Holroyd (6), Eric Kennington (3), Bernard Leach (3), William Rothenstein (1), Randolph Schwabe (1), and many others.SALAMAN, Michael [or Michel] (1911-87, British artist and teacher). A collection of autograph and typed letters to Michael Salaman, and his wife, from various artists and writers, various dates and sizes, including letters from Charles Aitken (4 letters), Campbell Dodgson (2), P. Cross (2), Michael Holroyd (6, one incomplete), Eric Kennington (3), Bernard Leach (3), William Roberts (1), William Rothenstein (2), Randolph Schwabe (1), Rosa Waugh (1), Humbert Wolfe (8) and Jessie Wolf (1). Bernard Leach writes (in one letter): "I'd like to cross-question [Arthur] Waley & perhaps I'll muster courage to do so next time I'm up. Of course the social conditions, particularly in the position & freedom of women, were extraordinarily difficult from those obtaining under the Tokugawa regime. What I question is whether he has not made the mentality of his 10th century Japanese too much like ours by the very freedom & light-footed imaginativeness of his renderings. My experience of Eastern peoples has been that in each case the mental background of consciousness is something as distinct as the smell of Japanese paper is from ours - as evanescent - as difficult to pin down" (1929). Humbert Wolfe writes: "Do you remember telling me of your idea of a series of travel books which were to be, in fact, Week-end Books for the countries visited? I have spoken to Douglas Jerrold of Eyre & Spottiswoode, and he is really interested" (1929). The letters from Charles Aitken, the first Director of the Tate Gallery (now Tate Britain) from 1917-30, include somewhat muted responses to Salaman's requests that the artist Edna Clarke Hall should be included in the national collection. In one, he writes, "I do think most of the drawings, though interesting and often charming, were scarcely carried far enough to be suitable for a National Collection" (1926). Michael Holroyd writes: "... I am preparing a full-length biography of Augustus John. It is the wish of Mrs Dorelia [i.e. Dorothy] John, and myself, that this book should be as comprehensive and as accurate as possible, and I was wondering whether you might therefore be able to help me" (1968). Michael Salaman - usually addressed in these letters as Michel - was an influential British artist and teacher. He studied at the Slade School of Fine Art under Henry Tonks from 1928 to 1931, under Albert Rutherston at the Ruskin School of Art, Oxford, from 1930 to 1931, and at the Academie Ranson, Paris from 1933 to 1934. During the six years he lived in Paris he exhibited alongside Picasso, Braque, Bonnard and Dufy. When he returned to England he concentrated on teaching, mainly at the Camberwell and Chelsea Schools of Art between the 1940s and 1960s, where his students included Anthony Eyton, Maggi Hambling and Euan Uglow. Provenance: Sotheby's, London, 16 October 1978, lot 285.

'British Artists - Alfred Wallis' Matthew Gale, Tate, illustrated page 68'Alfred Wallis - St Ives Artists' Matthew Gale, illustrated page 54Catalogue NoteIn 1935, Dorothy Elmhirst, purchased 9 paintings from Alfred Wallis, via her friend Jim Ede, the curator of the Tate Gallery, London in the 1920s & 30s and the founder of Kettles Yard, Cambridge. She gifted the majority of the works to her son Michael Straight but held on to her favourites, this being one of them, her fascination with Trawlers Passing a Lighthouse is described in her correspondence (below) with Jim Ede.On the 29th of October 1935, Ede wrote to Dorothy Elmhirst -"Dear Dorothy,I wonder if you would like a batch of pictures by Alfred Wallis? Anyhow I sent for some for you and I'm posting them on. They would be £3 the lot! If you don't like them, forgive me and post them back but if you would get your people to frame them up like the one I bought you, you will find that they suddenly look no end good. Altogether they always look a bit of a jumble I've sent 9 or 10....' Ede wrote again on the 9th of December 1935 to say'My Dear Dorothy, I wonder if you've got the pictures by Wallace(sic) and whether you want to buy them. I'm sorry to bother you and for being impatient – but I like at once to tell him what I am taking and to send him back the rest with the money. He gets all hot and bothered if he does not hear about my return!!..."Dorothy responded on the 10th of December 1935"Dear Jim,You must forgive my delay in answering your letter. We have been immersed in a family wedding followed by the concentrated activities of the last week of term.The arrival of the Wallace(sic) pictures was a moment of great excitement for Leonard and me. They are utterly fascinating, particularly, to my mind, the perpendicular picture in two levels with the steamer in port and three sailing ships setting out from the Lighthouse. I am grateful to you for sending these down to us, and they are going to serve as Christmas presents for my son Michael. I enclose three pounds, which seems a most paltry sum. Don't you think we ought to give Mr Wallace at least £5; or will this be spoiling your market?..."In 1925, visionaries Dorothy and Leonard Elmhirst purchased the run-down medieval estate, Dartington Hall, near Totnes, Devon. They poured Dorothy's inherited wealth into restorations and created a centre for education, arts, and social reform, transforming Dartington into a hub for experimentation and innovation. During their lifetimes they maintained links and friendships with many of the pioneering thinkers and creatives of the 20th century, such as Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, Bernard Leach and many notable alumni including Lucien Freud, Oliver Postgate and Breon O'Casey. This important painting with its distinguished provenance has remained in very good condition. It has been executed on a board which has been cut out by the artist. There is minimal cracking of paint near the edges and some losses to the lower edge. The board is flat and UV light examination shows no sign of retouching. The work is float mounted in a box frame.
