WEDGWOOD AUCTION

A large group of Wedgwood objects will be sold by Bonhams Skinner in a timed online auction opening September 27 and closing October 7. The sale will include the collections of longtime Wedgwood collectors Myra Karp of Seattle, Gary Kidwell of Northern California, and David Clippert of Arkansas. Highlights include a pair of encaustic basalt vases formerly in the Susan Weitzen collection, jasper blue and white medallions, Wedgwood & Bentley agateware, Fairyland Lustre, Majolica, and works by Wedgwood competitor Adams. Currently, the sale includes more than 250 lots. Previews by appointment will be available September 20 through October 4. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Kidwell collection will support Morgan Hill Town Cats, a cat rescue organization.

WEDGWOOD BRINGS DARWIN'S ADVENTURES TO FINE BONE CHINA

Wedgwood has introduced a new teaware collection that beautifully captures famed naturalist Charles Darwin’s journey to far-flung climes on the HMS Beagle. The collection, Darwin Voyage of the Beagle, has been produced with Wedgwood working closely with Cambridge University Library, original drawings from Darwin’s trip (created by the ship’s artist Conrad Martens and Darwin himself) have been carefully styled on to teacups and saucers, and coupe plates by the Wedgwood design team. The use of original drawings from the journey fills this collection with an authentic story full of history.
