A few pieces from the collection.
Piece from the Collection
This large terracotta Garden Urn stands 147 centimeters tall and is decorated with two human faces, decorative handles, a grape vine and a variety of Classical mouldings. Made in four sections, each piece is impressed: ‘T. Field & Sons Potter Sydney,’ and was made for and exhibited at the 1879 ‘Sydney International Exhibition’ for which they were awarded a ‘First Degree of Merit.’
The collection is devoted to potters and potteries established between 1788 and 1920, and includes pieces from those who continued after 1920 until they closed.
We are also interested in adding further early Australian pottery pieces to the collection by gift, bequest or purchase.
