Hi My name is John and I live on the Far North Coast of NSW with my wife and son. I started collecting Wade Irish porcelain about 10 years ago and quickly amassed a collection of over 500 pieces. My collecting focus then changed to Post WWII Australian Pottery. I particularly like pieces with applied decoration and figurals. I am a passionate collector of Australian Pottery and love to talk about and show off my collection so I hope you enjoy it. Regards John

| Wendy Art Pottery 1939 - 1958. From:
Encyclopaedia Of Australian Potter's Marks 2nd Edition by Geoff Ford: Gloria May was introduced to clay in the 1930's. At first it was just a fascinating hobby but, during the war years, running her own gift shop in Burwood, Sydney, she found it difficult obtaining stock, so in 1939 she set up a small pottery in Fivedock. Slip cast vases, troughs, wall pockets, float bowls, baskets, lamp bases, etc., were made and glazed in plain pastel colours untill the business closed in 1958. Some were marked: Wendy Art Pottries, black on silver label 1939 - late 1940's. Studio Wendy, black on silver paper label late 1940's - 1958. My Notes:
Wendy Art Pottery is fast becomming one of the more collected of the Sydney art pottries. They are rewnownd for thick milky glazes and well applied decoration. The earliest pieces were hand inscribed Wendy. |

Can anyone help with supplying more info on them e.g. date and value etc? I know they are circa 1950's but not much else.

Hi there. I have inherited a large Beswick 1940s vase, but somebody has painted it with white house paint! Is there a safe way of removing the coat of paint and restoring the vase to its former glory without damaging the vase?? | | [rosegarden56 03/05/2009] | | A. Hi, whether your paint is oil or acrylic soaking in hot water will soften it and enable you to peel or rub it off. A little good quality dishwashing detergent in the water should help. After removing what you can this way stubborn paint - if acrylic - will respond to Methylated Spirits, and neat eucalyptus oil mixed with a little meths may aid removal of residual oil paint - depending on what vintage the oil paint is. Good luck from Cossii | | [Cossii 08/09/2009] | | A. Hi Cooka here, I have had a similar problem with a glazed vase and solved it by first soaking the vase overnight in water. I then gently rubbed the paint away with a MILD scourer dipped in soapy water to which I added a few drops of eucalyptus oil. It takes patience. The paint was acrylic based. If your vase has matt/pitted surface and/or the paint is oil based this method may not work. Good luck. | | [cooka 23/05/2009] | | | | Q. Hi There, Anyone here collect Australian Pottery? | | [Collectors Delight 23/06/2008] | | A.
