I saw them online at the time and was surprised at the prices, especially that of his wife's goat.

Re: William Newland
another potter james tower was linked to this group he produced pieces in a similiar vein but he then moved on to a more fine art career producing fine large pots in tin glaze (very nice but expensive).

James Tower was really in a different league in that he was exhibited by art galleries from very early on and continued with them until the end. For much of the time he was represented by Gimpel Fils in London.

Re: William Newland
Croker is right though. James Tower, Margaret Hine, William Newland, and Nicholas Vergette did the ceramic course in the London Institute of Education in the late 40's. Equally, all used Tin glaze techniques in some form or another. Hence the association.
On t'other hand the Picassettes stayed in London, and produced some good painterly ceramics and became part of that 50's London culture Coffee Bars and all.
Whereas James Tower taught at Corsham,Bath throughout the 50's. As you say though Studio, he produced a quality and uniqueness of work that was more Fine Art than studio pottery. There is an interesting book on him worth having a look at.
There is a clear link, but not a very strong one.

Re: William Newland
I agree with everything that you both have said and my comment was really that, unlike the others under discussion and the rest of the British studio pottery world at the time, his work was always expensive, as he was the only potter that I am aware of that was taken up by the art world at the time.

Re: William Newland
It looks like the one that DD has that is at the top of this thread, so a useful thing for DD to say about his.

There are four almost identical bottles in the V&A collection dated 1958/59.

Re: William Newland
Yes they're all over the place! A pity they're a bit plain.
Still the only piece I've ever come across though.
