Lucie Rie bowl discovered by Nicholas Muston sells for £26,000

Bowl

This stunning Lucie Rie footed bowl was discovered by Nicholas Muston, on a probate valuation, amongst a large collection of over 100 pieces of studio pottery. It was purchased directly from artist in the late 1980s and comes with a signed letter. It has a diameter of 20cm and stands 10cm high. Decorated with a beautiful trailed, peacock palette, glaze of greens and blues with an iridescent manganese oxide, bronze coloured rim. The bowl is quite a discovery and sold at auction, in a specialist sale, for £26,000.

Lucie Rie was so accomplished and respected in her field that she elevated the position of pottery to that of fine arts in her lifetime. She paved the way for later generations and left behind an unrivalled ceramic legacy. She received many accolades and awards throughout her life and was finally made a Dame in 1991, shortly before her death in 1995, at the age of 93.

The Anchor Inn, Seatown,near Bridport. An oil painting by the highly accomplished Hove artist Charles Henry Harrison Burleigh. Probably painted in the 1920s or 30s and aside from the creation of a car park the scene has hardly changed.
He studied at the Brighton School of Art and in Paris under the tutelage of Jacques-Emile Blanche. His work was exhibited at the Royal Academy and Fine Art Society and is in the collections of The Slade, UCL, Brighton Pavilion and Brighton Museum and many provincial art galleries.

This was my favourite car at the London Concours at the Honourable Artillery Company. This is a Maserati 3500 GT from 1962 which resided for over 50 years in America before coming to this country in 2012.

I love these silver “Butterfield” type pocket sundials. I collected this very original example by the Paris maker Bion last week. It dates to the late 17th/early 18th century and is housed in its original fitted leather case.
As you can see it is beautifully engraved on the back and is in lovely condition overall.
I have guided it very realistically at £500-700 but hope it will do better.

Had a great afternoon at Chiddingstone Castle in Kent. The eccentric owner accumulated a wonderful and varied collection of antiques including Japanese works of art, Egyptian treasures and Jacobite pieces.
Well worth a visit.
