Circa 1930-1950, Koala Bookends by Grace Seccombe
A pair of typical, polychrome decorated bookends featuring Koalas perched in a tree fork. While not signed, not all of her work was signed in the clay and some had white paper stickers which tended to come off, but undoubtedly the work of Grace Seccombe.
Grace was born in England in 1880 into a family of potters. She studied pottery at the Wedgwood Institute in Burslem. In 1903, after a period working in the potteries, she moved with her family to N.S.W. where, in 1905, she attended Sydney Technical College, studying freehand drawing and painting. In 1908 Grace married Clarence P. Seccombe, an architect, and she abandoned clay for about twenty years. Following a trip to England where Grace saw figurines of birds, she and her husband set up a studio and kiln at their home in Eastwood. Grace joined the Society of Arts & Crafts of N.S.W. and from 1930 regularly exhibited examples of her jovial Australian fauna and flora, (often set up as bookends as are these) until her death in 1956.

Studio Anna Pottery: markings
Additional markings include impressed script 1954-1963 and paper label 1963-1969. Studio Anna Pottery Sydney was established in 1954 by Czechoslovakian migrant Karl Jungvirt and his wife Toni initially in Neutral Bay then moved to Marrickville. The Jungvirts exhibited at, among others venues, the Ceramic Art and Fine Ware Association exhibitions held at Anthony Horderns’ Department Store to generate interest in and orders for their pottery. The increase in international tourism to Australia post WWII created an interest in ceramics decorated with Australian local scenes, flora, fauna and Aboriginal motifs.

Wade Ceramics Figurine of Pavlova: markings
Wade Ceramics England art deco figurine of Pavlova designed in the 1930s by Jessie Van Hallen(1902-1983).
In her career Van Hallen successfully designed for many companies other than Wade including Moorcroft, Coalport, Kent and Disney. To undercut the prices of Royal Doulton figurines, the Wade management made similar figurines for half the price. However the Wade items were made of Earthenware not Porcelain and finished with a cellulose spray not a glaze and after 2 or 3 years they faded, turned a garish yellow and started to peel.This example shows some fading and has discoloured to the garish yellow but there is very little peeling considering its age. Height circa 23 cm.

Wedgewood Black Basalt Bowl
Decorated in white slip with the bas-relief known as “Dancing Hours” – a frieze of dancing ladies which are skillfully moulded and applied by hand. The design is attributed to John Flaxman (1755–1826). However, the original inspiration is a chimney piece of white marble against a blue lapis ground formerly in the Palazzo Borghese in Rome. The “Dancing Hours” depicts the classical “Horae”, the personifications of the seasons or hours of the day. The bowl is also decorated with borders of acanthus leaves and laurel. Impressed old script Wedgewood to base suggests pre 1890 production. The Sterling Silver foot and twin handled rim hallmarked for London, 1896, George Betjemann & Sons are perhaps a later edition intended to enhance the original bowl. Impressed 6 indicating 6 inch diameter.

Copeland Parian Ware: Burns and Highland Mary: thistle detail
Copeland, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, large Parian Ware group of “Burns and Highland Mary” Impressed Copeland to base indicating post 1847 production. “Parian” is the name used for a form of porcelain developed in England in the early 1840s and used extensively throughout the second half of the nineteenth century. The porcelain has a resemblance to marble and was most commonly undecorated allowing the attractive tone of the porcelain and the fine modelling to be appreciated.
This group, showing the Scottish poet Robert Burns with his beloved Mary Campbell, is modelled from a painting by Thomas Faed in Kelvingrove Art Gallery, Glasgow. It was first produced in 1851 and shown at the Dublin Exhibition in 1853. At the exhibition Queen Victoria purchased some Parian porcelain pieces including one of this group. Both Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were enthusiastic collectors of Parian wares. 49 cm tall
