A PAIR OF TURKISH ÇANAKKALE-STYLE POLYCHROME-PAINTED AND GILT ZSOLNAY POTTERY EWERS Zsolnay manufacture, Pécs, Hungary, ex-Ottoman Western Provinces, ca. 1878 - 1900Each of typical pyriform shape, resting on a short, circular foot, rising to a long, tapering neck surmounted by a bulbous head designed in the shape of a mythical creature with short horns, bulging eyes and an everted beak-like spout, to the side of each ewer a rope-twisted handle, the exterior painted in cobalt blue, manganese purple, sage green, and teal with golden highlights against a milky white ground, the ewer's design typical of Turkish Çanakkale creations whilst the decoration and the palette reminiscent of Ottoman Iznik and Damascus ceramics, consisting of lush floral arrangements with serrated saz leaves, prunus blossom branches, rosette scrolls, and large lotus flower sprays, the front of each ewer further embellished with applied moulded floral roundels, and the handle decorated with alternating blue and purple beaded bands, each base presenting the ZSOLNAY PÉCS mark with the "Five Churches and Family Initials", as well as the production form numbers of this series (stamped '753' ZV Pécs and '6', and painted '22').each approximately 36cm high In 1853, the Zsolnay factory was established by Miklós Zsolnay in Pécs, Hungary. In 1865, his son Vilmos Zsolnay joined the company and became its manager and director, spearheading the rapid and remarkable success of this manufacture at international exhibitions and art fairs all around the world. The factory mark on the base of our ewers was designed by Júlia Sikorski, Vilmos' daughter, possibly for the factory's debut at the 1878 Paris Exhibition, where the Zsolnay factory was eventually awarded a gold medal. For the design, Julia was inspired by the Medieval name of her family's hometown, Pécs, which meant "Five Churches". To the right of the mark, one can read the initials T.J.M. standing for Térez, Júlia and Miklós, the first names' initials of the three children of Vilmos, heavily involved in the running of the factory at that time. This mark remained in use from 1878 until 1900 and is usually accompanied by the production form numbers, indicating the date of the original release of the piece. Interestingly, another Çanakkale-style Zsolnay pottery ewer recently sold at auction in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire (Potteries Auction, 7 March 2024, lot 322) presents the same form numbers of our pair ('753' Z. V. PECS), suggesting they were all most probably part of a special series inspired by Turkish Çanakkale creations. each approximately 36cm high Qty: 2

⊕ FIGURES ON A STREET, STOKE-ON-TRENToil on board27 x 31cm; 10 1/2 x 12 1/4in unframedPainted circa 1951 after his parents moved from Millom to Stoke-on-Trent that year.There is no retouching apparent under ultra-violet light. There is some scuffing and paint loss to the board at all four corners. There are possible pin-head spots of abrasion to the paint surface, these are notable running up the foreground lamp post. This abrasion and the aforementioned scuffing /paint loss to the corners are evident in the illustration both in the catalogue and online. The work is in original condition, and would almost certainly benefit from a light surface clean.
⊕DAVID BATES (lots 170-177)IntroductionBates enrolled as a student at the Royal College of Art in 1950, where he railed with his tutor Francis Bacon and also the young art critic David Sylvester about the rise of abstraction, arguing vehemently for realism and naturalism. Sylvester was disparaging of the so called 'Kitchen Sink School' to which he all too readily consigned Bates, and was especially critical of Bates' fellow student and friend John Bratby. But Bates was not to be dissuaded. He joined the Communist Party, and his strongly held socialist convictions led him later both to campaign for nuclear disarmament and to march in protest against the war in Vietnam. His subject matter in the 1950s reflected his political views and his interest in the worker in society: in London he made studies of workers removing tram lines and emblematic studies of industrial objects such as a cement mixer. Later he would celebrate the working man in his powerful portrait of Billy Griffiths, a plumber in Preston (lot 174). At the RCA he met fellow art student June Moss, his wife to be. The couple were married in Nottingham in 1957 where Bates was teaching at Boots College (lots 171 & 177). They first moved together to Yeovil, then In 1961 they took their burgeoning family to Preston where Bates became senior lecturer in painting at Harris School of Art. They remained there until the late 1970s, by the end of which the couple were running non-vocational art courses, and Bates was directing the Preston Arts Centre, overseeing a diverse programme of music, film, art and events. In 1978 he took early retirement and he and June moved further north to live and work at Newbiggin Hall, Carlisle.Bates was born in China, the son of a Methodist mIssionary and headmaster. But with the rise of the Kuomintang (the Chinese Nationalist Party) his parents were forced to leave, returning with their young family to England in 1931. Over the next two decades the family relocated regularly. They first lived briefly in Birmingham, then moved to Penzance, and subsequently to Nottingham before settling in Stockport in 1940, where Bates attended Stockport Polytechnic, and Bristol in 1945, where he enrolled in the West of England College of Art. In the late 1940s the family moved to Millom, South Cumbria where Bates began recording the heavy industry of the area (lot 173), before starting his studies at the Royal College of Art in London. Then, in 1951 the family upped-sticks once again and moved to Stoke-on-Trent where he drew and painted the potteries (lots 172 & 176).DAVID FREDERICK BATES (BRITISH 1929-2024)AT THE LIDOoil on cardboard17.5 x 19cm; 6 3/4 x 7 1/2in unframed
