A rare mid 19th Century Chinese export Chinoiserie iron-red and blue transfer-printed dragon pattern, part dinner service, having several English copies with Pseudo Chinese marks.

The dinner set has an interesting twist! Would have had several pieces broken, the wealthy owner must have taken the originals to say, the Staffordshire factory and had the set re-built.

An early 20th Century Australian Regal Mashman vase (A.F.) – AA1594

An early 20th Century Australian Regal Mashman vase (A.F.)

Mashman Brothers Pottery of Sydney, founded 1885 by potters trained at England’s Doulton pottery, long recognised as one of Australia’s most distinguished manufacturers, started producing Regal artware in 1932. The glazes mostly in rich but subdued colours were especially smooth and glassy. Although the colours are generally streaked and mottled giving the appearance of casual application, infact the effects were very skillfully controlled, often with subtle repeating patterns discernable under close examination.

William and Henry Mashman who were trained at Doultons in England entered into partnership with James Sandison, to form Mashman and Sandison Pottery at Willoughby (now Chatswood) Sydney in 1885.

Mashman’s 1930’s ware is known for its clever adaption of Art Deco design elements.

In 1957 Mashma ‘s merged with England’s Royal Doulton.

Phacochoerus aethiopicus aethiopicus, originally native to South Africa, this subspecies became extinct around 1871. Cape warthog specimens held in museums lack locality records and the full extent of the Cape warthog’s former distribution remains unknown. There is no mention of this subspecies being obtained after 1860. The Cape warthog and the Dessert warthog are very similar in appearance, one difference is a lack of functional incisors.
