Rosebery’s auction with ceramics from Deirdre Burnett's estate

Thanks for the link Croker. Deidre Burnett died last August. and this would her estate sale. The best of her work is associated with what Paul Rice called 'The frilly Knickers' school of potters from the 1970's. Led by Mary Rodgers and including Ursula Morley price and early Peter Simpson. Now the trouble with this work, is that it is incredibly fragile. I have some of her work. One  got  broken  just in handling it. So a good deal of those multi-lots ate going to have condition problems as they come from way back in the 70's. Yet while mostly all the rest of the studio  has condition pottery reports the multi lots are ask for condition resorts. If I was thinking of bidding I would need to inspect them personally.
          The Jaquie Poncelet look very nice. I showed them to my wife, and she saw the glint in my eye. But she Said  NO! NO! we have got enough.
           Some odd estimates there. The Winchcombe piece which just has the Winchcombe mark on it they say is probably by Ray Finch and they  have an estimate of £300-£500 on it which is ludicrous! Same for the Wenford Bridge item with just the pottery mark on it as being probably by Michael  Cardew.

A couple of the Jacqui Poncelet went around £2000. A few of the Deidre multi lots went over £1000. But most of the rest of the Burnett pieces were fairly subdued. Several unsolds. The estimates for the Burnett pieces were somewhat off the mark. A fairly subdued sale.
