{"id":1113,"count":1,"description":"Australian Pottery & Ceramics\r\n\r\nDiscover collectable Australian pottery and ceramics from recognised studio potters, commercial potteries and ceramic artists spanning the twentieth century through to contemporary Australian studio practice.\r\n\r\nThe TMC Emporium Australian Pottery & Ceramics collection includes individually selected pieces chosen for their quality, design, maker, glaze, rarity, decorative appeal and collecting interest.\r\n\r\nOur inventory changes regularly as new pieces are sourced, researched and added to the collection.\r\n\r\nCollecting Australian Pottery & Ceramics\r\n\r\nAustralian pottery encompasses a diverse range of work, from commercial and decorative art pottery to individually produced studio ceramics.\r\n\r\nCollectors may encounter:\r\n\r\n* studio pottery bowls, jugs and vases\r\n* hand-thrown stoneware\r\n* decorative earthenware\r\n* sculptural ceramics\r\n* Australian art pottery\r\n* signed studio ceramics\r\n* experimental glaze work\r\n* commercial pottery\r\n* pieces with impressed or incised pottery marks\r\n\r\nIndividual pieces can vary considerably in form, glaze, decoration and firing, particularly where they were handmade in small studios.\r\n\r\nAustralian Potters and Ceramic Makers\r\n\r\nThe collection may include work by recognised Australian potters and manufacturers such as Remued, Premier Pottery Preston, Reg Preston, Klytie Pate, Merric Boyd, Martin Boyd, Charles Wilton, Arnaud Barraud, Carl McConnell, Peter Rushforth, Milton Moon, Una Deerbon, Wembley Ware, Diana Pottery and Bendigo Pottery.\r\n\r\nAvailability varies as most pieces are individually sourced and offered as one-off items.\r\n\r\nPottery Marks and Identification\r\n\r\nAustralian pottery may be identified through incised signatures, impressed marks, handwritten initials, model numbers, original labels, clay body, construction, form, glaze and decoration.\r\n\r\nBecause makers sometimes changed their marks and not every piece was signed, identification is generally strongest when several characteristics are considered together.\r\n\r\nCondition and Authenticity\r\n\r\nEach TMC Emporium piece is individually examined before listing. Where possible, maker marks, signatures, labels and other identifying characteristics are photographed and documented.\r\n\r\nCondition information is also provided for relevant characteristics such as chips, cracks, restoration, firing irregularities, crazing or surface wear.\r\n\r\nBuying Australian Pottery from TMC Emporium\r\n\r\nTMC Emporium specialises in individually sourced vintage, collectable and decorative objects rather than mass-produced inventory.\r\n\r\nMost Australian pottery and ceramic pieces are therefore one-off items, and once sold, another identical example may not become available.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","link":"https:\/\/themccorrycollection.com\/m\/shop\/product-category\/tmc-emporium\/australian-pottery-ceramics\/","name":"Australian Pottery & Ceramics","slug":"australian-pottery-ceramics","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":836,"meta":{"slim_seo":[]},"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themccorrycollection.com\/m\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/1113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themccorrycollection.com\/m\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themccorrycollection.com\/m\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themccorrycollection.com\/m\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/836"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/themccorrycollection.com\/m\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=1113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
