Valuation Day at Bishton Hall Proves to be ‘Udderly’ Marvelous By Charles Hanson ................................................................ On 6th May, at a Hansons Auctioneers valuation day at Bishton Hall, situated near Rugeley, Dr Richard Halliday discovered a superb signed Royal Worcester plaque. Unusually, it still bears its original Worcester framer’s paper label to the reverse and was one of the most interesting and uncommon items found that day. The central Royal Worcester plaque depicts a well-painted scene of highland cattle watering in The plaque discovered by Dr Richard Halliday a riverscape with leaden skies above. The plaque is signed to the lower right-hand side and, although this is indistinct, the quality of the painting and style does suggest the work of one of the Stinton family who had connections at the Worcester factory for some 160 years. Often when a framed plaque is seen, it can be a dinner or side plate that was chipped or damaged in some way and was then cut down and framed. While this does indeed ‘save’ and repurpose the central artwork, its commercial desirability is significantly lessened. These ‘plate centres’ are often completely flat whereas a plaque is usually slightly convex in shape. To make sure of its authenticity, and with the vendor’s kind permission, the frame was removed to determine its authenticity. As luck would have it, this indeed is a genuine plaque and, as such, will be prized by collectors of Royal Worcester. The consignee did not think this item was anything of value, but it will now be offered for sale in the Curated and Connoisseur Ceramics Auction on 9th of June at £200-300. Thus demonstrating the importance of valuation days - always get items checked by specialists. Valuation days at Bishton Hall are every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Please contact rhalliday@hansonsauctioneers.co.uk for further details. 35
