THE BRIAN GILL COLLECTIONOF BAT-PRINTED SPODE

Printing on porcelain is something of an English tradition, the first pieces being produced inthe 1750s at the Worcester factory, who pioneered the technique of transfer-printing throughthe work of Robert Hancock. Over-glaze printing in this method was limited to a handful offactories in the second half of the 18th century, but enabled manufacturers to produce amuch greater quantity of items compared to those which had to be hand-painted.

One perceived disadvantage of the transfer-printing process was an occasional loss ofclarity, or a certain ‘clumpiness’ in the design, owing to the thickness of the applied ink. Theintroduction of the far more sophisticated ‘bat-printing’ technique at the start of the 19thcentury overcame this problem and produced very fine pictures which emulated thecontemporary prints of Bartolozzi and other similar engravers.

This new process involved the application of so-called ‘bats’ of glue and finely groundpigments to the ceramic surface, and a stippling technique helped create greater degreesof light and shade compared to the heavy line-engraved designs of transfer-printing.

Where Worcester pioneered transfer-printing under the direction of Dr John Wall, it was theSpode factory which developed the bat-printing technique. Since it allowed for easierprinting on a curved surface, the process was reserved primarily for teawares. Costs werekept down by limiting other decoration to simple gilt lines, making the cups and saucers inlot 402 unusual in their more opulent gilt borders. Landscapes were the preferred subjectof decoration, and pattern 557 was produced in quantity, but the process also lent itself wellto the production of the animal and figural vignettes so popular in the Regency period.

The Brian Gill Collection focuses on this short-lived technique at the Spode factory andcontains examples of a wide scope of prints used to produce tea services where oftennearly every single piece bore a different design.

SOCIETY OF FINE ART AUCTIONEERS AND VALUERS and the ROYAL INSTITUTION OF CHARTERED SURVEYORS

CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS 1. Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assistBuyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All salesare conducted on our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily availablefor inspection and normally accompany catalogues. Our staff will be happyto help you if there is anything you do not fully understand.

2. Agency. As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the sellerwhose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed.Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller.

3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of summight be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimatemay represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it.Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable).Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered byannouncement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive.

4. The purchase price. The Buyer shall pay the hammer price together witha premium thereon of 22% on the first £500,000 and 12% thereafter +VAT at the appropriate rate.

5. VAT. (*) indicates that VAT at the current standard rate is payable by thepurchaser on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer’spremium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registeredfor VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers MarginScheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. The doublesymbol (**) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the EuropeanUnion and the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate ofVAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer’spremium). Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicatethat no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are soldusing the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VATincluded within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax.

6. We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on informationprovided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably intaking a general view about them we are normally unable to carry out adetailed or any examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in theway in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ampleopportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility forinspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Pleasenote carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained inthe Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, acceptany responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of anyage are not guaranteed to be in working order. However, in so far as we haveexamined the goods and make a representation about their condition, weshall be liable for any defect which that examination ought to have revealedto the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer hadthe buyer examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstances lotsmisdescribed because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned andrepayment made. There is a 3 week time limit. (The expression ‘deliberateforgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale).

7. Electrical goods. These are sold as ‘antiques’ only and if bought for usemust be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by aqualified electrician first.

8. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whetheran export licence is required for the goods to leave the U.K. and (b) whetherthere is any specific prohibition on importing the goods in question into thedestination country because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such asivory. Charges may be applicable for export licences. Ask us if you need help.

The denial of any permit or licence shall not justify cancellation or rescission ofthe sale contract or any delay in payment.

9. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register before the sale commencesand lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form.Some form of identification will be required if you are unknown to us.Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding.

10. Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneersindicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers’ premium. Theywill be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any)and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids theauctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance aboutour arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or fax.

11. Methods of Payment. As a general rule any cheques tendered will needto be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted. Please discusswith our Office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment areenvisaged (except cash).

12. Collection and storage. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state aboutcollection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collectedpromptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying storage charges.

TERMS OF CONSIGNMENT FOR SELLERS 1. Interpretation. In these Terms the words ‘you’, ‘yours’, etc. refer to theSeller and if the consignment of goods to us is made by an agent weassume that the Seller has authorised the consignment and that theconsignor has the Seller’s authority to contract. Similarly the words ‘we’,‘us’, etc. refer to the Auctioneers.

However, we for our own protectionassume liability for property consigned to us at lower pre-sale estimate.To justify accepting liability, we make a charge of 1.5% of the hammerprice plus VAT or, if unsold, our mid estimate of the hammer price. If theowner of goods consigned instructs us in writing not to take such action,they then remain at owner’s risk unless and until the property in thempasses to the Buyer or they are collected by or on behalf of the owner,and clause 4 is inapplicable.

5. Illustrations. The cost of any illustrations is borne by you. If we considerthat the lot should be illustrated your permission will usually be asked first.The copyright in respect of such illustrations shall be the property of us,the auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue.

10. Descriptions. Please assist us with accurate information as to theprovenance etc. of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liabilityfor the accuracy of descriptions under modern consumer legislation andin some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuraciesoccur.

15. Warehousing. We disclaim all liability for goods delivered to our saleroomwithout sufficient sale instructions and reserve the right to make minimumwarehousing charge of £2 per lot per day.

ValuationsValuations are a core part of our business and are usually carried out by a senior specialist or directors. Accuracy, speed and above all confidentiality are paramount.

INSURANCE VALUATIONSWritten valuations for insurance can vary from a single item to a large estate. Before starting we discuss the various options available so that the valuation is specifically tailored to individual client’s needs.

For valuations of an entire house contents an itemised bound valuation is produced and can beaccompanied by photographs when required. In addition to providing an inventory, written valuations can prevent painful arguments with a loss adjuster in the event of a claim.

Woolley & Wallis valuations are accepted by all leadinginsurance companies.

PROBATE VALUATIONSWe offer a speedy and professional service for executors and trustees and provide bound valuations for probate and duplicate copies when required. Since security is often a consideration, we can usuallyarrange for a house to be cleared and sent for auction, our Valuations Department ensures that executors are informed of which sales are involved and the results thereof.

We also carry out valuations for Family Division, Capital Gains Tax, and Private Treaty Sales.
