Pierre-Joseph Redouté, (10 July 1759 – 19 June 1840), was a painter and botanist from Belgium, known for his watercolours of roses, lilies and other flowers at the Château de Malmaison,

many of which were published as large, coloured stipple engravings.

He was nicknamed “the Raphael of flowers” and has been called the greatest botanical illustrator of all time.

In 1786, Redouté began to work at the National Museum of Natural History cataloguing the collections of flora and fauna and participating in botanical expeditions.

In 1787, he left France to study plants at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew near London, returning the following year. In 1792 he was employed by the French Academy of Sciences.

In 1798, Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais, the first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, became his patron and, some years later, he became her official artist. In 1809,

Redouté taught painting to Princess Adélaïde of Orléans.

‘Regal Mashman’ Australian Pottery drip glaze Vase

Dia.24cm

Ernest James Theodore (Theo) Mashman (1895-1964), potter, was born on 19 August 1895 at Willoughby, Sydney.

Elder son of Henry Mashman (1856-1922), potter, and his second wife Elizabeth Simpson, née Wieland, a widow.

Theo, as he was known, represented the second generation of Mashmans in Australia.

In the 1930s Theo Mashman was presented as the model, go-ahead, Australian manufacturer, patriotic returned serviceman and sportsman, avid motorist and yachtsman.

He revived the firm’s interest in art-ware with a promotional appeal to ‘Australian-made, Australian workmen, Australian artists and Australian clay’.

With modern methods and high quality material, the new line of ‘Regal Art’ ware, including ornamental bowls, vases and jugs, was to provide articles equal to

most that could be imported and at a price the average housewife could afford.
