ITEM: SE21025
Vintage 20th Century French eggcups/Italian? novelty
salt-and-peppers
$45
For sale is this charming set of vintage 20th Century kitchenalia items, a pair of French porcelain transfer-printed egg-cups and (most likely Italian) polychrome porcelain salt and pepper roosters.
A perfect personal treat or wonderful gift for the poultry fancier!
The eggcups (most likely dating from the 1930-1950’s) are in a pale green lustre and feature two handcoloured transfer-print images of famous Château near Baugé (in the Loire Valley): Château de l’Auberdière (built in the 1500’s, now a well-known winery) and Château de Baugé (a medieval fortress, built in the 11th Century) - please note a tiny amount of fritting to the foot of this cup). Both are marked but the manufacturer cannot be determined.
The roosters are both hand-decorated. Both feature fancy tails and great individual expressions! The cream rooster has a makers mark that appears to read ‘HUBF’ and ‘MORE’ around a stylised fountain. Research of the modelling and colours leans towards them being Italian.

UNIQUE Vintage 20th Century (1984) Tiwi Island vase
by John Patrick Kelantuma
$495
Offered for sale is this unique 20th Century Tiwi Island pottery vase, made by John Patrick Kelantumama (Jubilini aka Yell) and dating from 1984. Born in 1952, John was nephew of significant Tiwi Island potter John Bosco Tipiloura and subsequently joined him as an apprentice at Tiwi Design Pottery in 1976 (at the age of 24). Learning cultural design from his father, John would eventually begin combine these on ceramics, wood and bronze – moving from traditional ceramic forms and into statuary. Eventually becoming leading pottery at Tiwi Design, he continued to work intensively until health issues in 2011 reduced his capacity and sadly passing in 2014. John’s works are held in many important private, national and international collections. Unusual in its size, scale and use of incise-work (instead of his usual paint application) this is a museum-quality example.
The design features a tall balluster form vase in red clay with applied design. There are four panels with two repeated frames of stylised totemic Culture figures of turtle and pelican surrounded by abstract cross-hatch geometric borders and banding. The heavy-drip glaze is a soft sea-green, subtle and elegant.
In excellent original condition, no cracks or chipping.
