Скачать или смотреть The Juanita Bird Collection of Linn Ware and 20th Century Ceramics

Strauss & Co is honoured to present a single-owner collection of 20th century ceramics from the Johannesburg collector Juanita Bird.

The collection consists of prime examples from renowned potteries Globe, Ceramic Studio and the iconic Linnware. It captures the history of studio ceramics in South Africa in the first half of the 20th century, a history pitted against the relentless advances of technological progress and mass production at such companies as the vast Continental China Factory in Boksburg during the same era. Globe Potteries, the oldest, operated from 1920 to 1957 in Pretoria. The Ceramic Studio was founded in 1925 by Gladys Short and Marjorie Johnstone, who had both studied pottery at the Durban Technical College. It operated from premises in Olifantsfontein until 1942, when it was repositioned and renamed Linnware, which continued until 1962.
