ATTRIBUTED TO CHRISTOPHER DRESSER (1834-1904) RARE AESTHETIC MOVEMENT PITCHER, 1881 silver, engraved with initials under base E.C.S., stamped maker's mark for William Hunter & Son, London, hallmarked London 1881 24cm high Literature: Rudoe J. Decorative Arts 1850-1950; A Catalogue of the British Museum Collection, British Museum Press 1991, p. 42 and p. 183 (illus.)British Museum Collection. no. 1983,1010.1London, The Fine Art Society, Truth Beauty Power: The Designs of Christopher Dresser: The John Scott Collection, exhibition catalogue, p. 66, no. 126, where an Ault Pottery vase of the same design is illustrated.Whiteway, M. Christopher Dresser 1834-1904, Skira 2001, p. 110, pl. 101Note: This silver pitcher is derived from designs created by Christopher Dresser during his tenure as 'Art Superintendent' at Linthorpe Art Pottery. Known for their bold forms and rich glazes, Dresser’s designs for Linthorpe, where he served as director from 1879 to 1882, are highly distinctive. The shape of the current piece is likely influenced by Minoan or Cycladic pottery, which were frequent sources of inspiration for Dresser's work at Linthorpe and later at Ault Pottery. His designs also drew on a wide range of cultural motifs, including Asian, Mexican, Peruvian, Fijian pottery, and prehistoric artifacts discovered in Yorkshire. This reflects Dresser's broader interest in integrating diverse cultural elements into his work.A related silver artifact based on one of Dresser's designs for Linthorpe is held in the British Museum Collection. Produced in 1881, this tray or figural dish was featured in advertisements for Linthorpe Pottery in the Furniture Gazette in May 1880. The tray is shaped like a Fijian drinking vessel, with a head modelled directly from a Japanese stoneware figure of the monk-poet Saigyō—both of these items are part of the British Museum Collection (museum numbers Franks 1838 and 1842. 12-10.127). A rare silver version of the tray was produced by Thomas Johnson, a London firm known for manufacturing traditional small wares, similar to the work of William Hunter & Son, London, who made the present lot. It remains uncertain whether other Dresser designs were also produced in silver during this period, suggesting that these rare pieces may have been specially commissioned.

A TURQUOISE MATRIX SNUFF BOTTLE, CHINA, 18TH CENTURY 十八世紀綠松石紋理鼻煙壺 Please note this Lot is to be sold at No Reserve. 本拍品不設底價Of flattened form, well hollowed, the rounded rectangular body supported on an oval foot rising to a short cylindrical neck with a narrow mouth. The stone of variegated turquoise and green tones, some areas with a yellowish tinge, and dramatic dark blue veining of the matrix on either side.Provenance: From a prominent New York snuff bottle collector.Condition: Very good condition with expected old wear and some organic weathering. The stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into small hairline cracks over time. Very minor nicks around the rim.Stopper: Sapphire with a beaded gilt metal collar, probably matching and also dating to the 18th century Weight: 83.9 g Dimensions: Height including stopper 68 mm. Diameter neck 19.5 mm and mouth 6 mm. The universal gem standard for turquoise is that the more brilliant the sky-blue color, the more valuable the stone, but in China, it is clear that both green and blue veined material was equally valued. The evidence lies in snuff bottles made from other materials that evoke turquoise. Of the entire turquoise range of Qing glass snuff bottles, many more are of a green tint than a sky-blue one. Porcelain imitations of the material are even more informative. Both the green and blue varieties were regularly copied during the mid-Qing period. One of the finest imitation turquoise bottles is in the Ault Collection (Kleiner 1990, no. 131). It probably dates from the late eighteenth century and is of a distinctly green color. In the same publication, a magnificent and unique porcelain bottle made for the Master of the Xie Bamboos, whose hall name appears on other known porcelains of the first half of the nineteenth century, simulates a turquoise-matrix bottle with panels of calligraphy in iron-red on white. Not only is the color unambiguously green, it is as riddled with black matrix markings as any of the real material carved into bottles.Expert’s note: Whatever the color of the material may have meant, this example is intriguingly marked with some well-figured matrix, unusual speckling across both faces of the bottle, and intriguing darker staining, possibly partly due to handling but too well defined to stem purely from patination. This is one of the star turquoise bottles known, of lovely color and material. It is also superbly formed, with matching perfection of finish. Therefore, this bottle can be firmly dated to the 18th century.Literature comparison:For a related snuff bottle, see Michael Hughes, The Chester Beatty Library, Dublin.

XXA45285Hailed as 'a completely new make of motorcycle', Raynal arrived in 1937, its first offering being the 'Auto', an autocycle powered by the 98cc Villiers Junior engine commonly found in such machines. The latter went into an open ladies-style frame equipped with sprung, bicycle-type front fork and hub brakes. A maximum speed of 30mph and fuel economy averaging 140 miles per gallon were claimed. A cheaper 'Popular' model with unsprung fork was added for 1939, the Auto being renamed 'De Luxe'. Production recommenced post-WW2 and continued until 1950 when Raynal was acquired by Raleigh. Previously belonging to a Mr Ault of Grange-over-Sands, this Raynal Auto was purchased by Tony East in July 2017. The hand-painted machine is offered with a 1957 tax disc; a V5C document; and a quantity of photocopied literature.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
