Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Title: Animal Form in Pottery Decoration [Original Handwritten, Globally Illustrated Mid-Century Art School Manuscript Thesis - with Cambridge, Leach, Staite Murray, Sam Haile, Cardew & Dartington Associations] Author: Anonymous [British Art/Archaeology Student] Date: c. 1952-1958 This is a unique handwritten and beautifully illustrated original manuscript volume, compiled as an advanced student thesis/coursework submission during a "Second Year course" in pottery and design at a British academic institution. Quarto, 26 cm tall, 36 leaves used. The volume opens with a handwritten Introduction analysing historical animal, bird, and fish motifs in ceramics, tracing how ancient symbolic/religious designs transitioned into purely mechanical decorations in modern industrial civilization. The body of the manuscript contains an exceptional cross-cultural collection of architectural sketches, museum plates, and stylistic analyses covering a vast global timeline, explicitly exploring: Ancient Mediterranean: Early Bronze Age Cypriot "Red Polished" bird-spout jugs and Late Bronze Age bull askoi. Pre-Columbian South America: Peruvian Moche culture zoomorphic vessels (jaguars, frogs, 'llama bridled for man's service') categorized under the "North Coast Mochica Culture / Master Craftsmen Period." Roman & Medieval Britain: Roman-British Castor Ware hunting scenes, incised Anglo-Saxon pottery, early "Pagan Anglo Saxon" urn stags, and an Arretine Crater from Foxton sourced directly from the Cambridge University Museum of Archaeology. Indigenous North America & East Asia: A Puebloan/Mimbres avian motif ('Bird from New Mexico. Brown slip on white clay') and 18th-century Chinese Famille Rose porcelain iconography. Near East & Southern Europe: 12th-century Persian zoomorphic motifs and a 15th-century Hispano-Moresque Spanish 'Heraldic Griffin on reverse side of tin glazed dish.' Modern Studio Pottery: A thorough mid-century analysis of the revival of slipware/painterly glazes. Includes a 1935 child's hot plate, Odney Pottery (c.1942-56) horse plates, Michael Cardew's 1931 Winchcombe preserving jar, and an ink wash study of a bird pot by Henry Hammond (1914-1989). This culminates in a spectacular celebration of the Royal College of Art avant-garde, analysing a slip-trailed pot by tragic surrealist master T. S. (Sam) Haile (1909-1948) alongside a two-page spread on William Staite Murray's (1881-1962) masterpieces ("Pot with cow", "Bird Swimming", "Tiger") and a full-page ink wash study of Bernard Leach's (1887-1979) iconic 1930 leaping fish vase. with a Bibliography citing reference works by Arthur Lane, Ronald Cooper (1947), Reginald Haggar (1950), and George Wingfield Digby (1952), definitively establishing the post-1952 dating. Includes a loosely inserted author's note at rear reflecting on extending research to the human form in Wedgwood Jasperware. Meticulously executed, tipped-in (mounted) drawings on custom-cut paper stock and trimmed museum photographic plates. Mediums vary by section, including precise pen-and-ink line drawings, bold solid-black ink silhouettes, fine coloured pencil cross-hatching, and fluid calligraphic ink wash illustrations. Condition: Bound in original pale tan cloth boards. Exterior shows light staining and noticeable wear with loss to the top of the cloth spine. Internally, light creasing to a few pages; a few tipped-in illustrative elements have come loose from original fixings over time, else clean, bright, and in good general condition. A one-of-a-kind record of post-war British ceramic education.…

A collection of letters from the artist and potter Sam Haile to the potter David Leach, spanning the period January 1947 to January 1948. Twelve letters, across thirty sides of paper of varying size. Six letters are written in ink and five are typed with manuscript additions, four also contain hand drawn illustrations and diagrams. Condition is good, all have old folds and a few have the odd nick or mark, one sheet has some loss to the sides which affects the text, but without loosing meaning. Otherwise the group remains very well preserved. Sam Haile (1909-1948) studied at the Clapham School of Art and then at the Royal College of Art (1931-4) under William Staite Murray. Although an accomplished painter, winning his scholarship to the RCA on this basis, Haile is primarily remembered as a potter, producing some of the most inventive work of the period. From 1936 he taught at Hammersmith and Kingston art schools and shared a studio in Raynes Park with Margaret Rey. Here he produced slipware and stoneware and held his first solo exhibition in 1937. In 1938 he married Marianne de Trey, another influential pioneer of the British craft ceramics revival. Haile, who had joined the British surrealist group in 1937, introduced de Trey to a world of revolutionary art, literature, music and politics. In 1939 the pair moved to America where Haile taught at various institutions. Eventually drafted into the army, he returned to Britain in 1944, followed by de Trey in 1945. After the war they established a pottery at the Bulmer Brickyard, near Sudbury, Suffolk. In need of more space, they then took over Bernard Leach's Shinners Bridge Pottery in Dartington, Devon in 1947, moving into Leach's old wooden bungalow, where he had recently written his seminal text A Potter's Book. After just one year, however, Haile was tragically killed in a car accident, leaving de Trey alone and pregnant with their daughter. Regardless, de Trey, with the help of her sisters, went on to make the pottery a highly successful enterprise and an important centre of ceramic innovation. This collection dates from the period at Shinners Bridge, shortly before Haile's death and documents Haile and de Trey's relationship with the Leach family. Frank and humorous, the letters are imbued with an acerbic wit and sometimes decorated with amusing drawings. They discuss the ideals motivating both Haile's and Leach's respective work, their methods and designs for kilns and potter's wheels, including diagrams. They also shine an intimate light on their personal lives, thoughts, opinions and concerns. As well as his wife de Trey, Haile frequently talks of his relationship with Bernard Leach, in addition to numerous other contemporary potters, including Harry Davis, Bernard Forrester, Helen Pincombe, and Henry Hammond. His commentary on Bernard often reveals good-humoured disagreement, serving to reflect the challenge posed to Leach's more traditional approach by the ideas of the subsequent generation of potters - 'Don't tell Bernard I built an electric kiln and, what is more, am using it in the pottery he built or he'll cut me more than his silence has done these last weeks'. He notably remarks on the relationship between David Leach and his father, assuring David that 'of course all distinguished fathers have an inhibiting effect on their sons.Accept the influence and the fine mentor-ship of Bernard, as El Greco did of Tintoretto'. Haile also casts a critical eye over the activities of his fellow artists. Of Patrick Heron's art criticism, for example, he writes: 'To have Heron judging Picasso seems to me a trifle bombastic, but he seems to think it justified by his insight'. Haile's ceramics, of course, had incorporated symbolic figures and dream characters more than ten years before Picasso had begun producing his own. Leach and Haile's interest in China and Japan is also frequently reflected, as is Haile's radicalism, typically asserting: 'I want to get my contemporary potters together - hold shows together and make them ignore "safety" in life and art'. As a group, these letters form an important archive of the last year of the life of an innovative, pioneering, charismatic ceramicist and provide a fantastic record of the relationships that shaped the development of studio ceramics in Britain in the post-war period.
