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.

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, 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
