| Object history | This impressive group of porcelain tea and dessert wares by H & R Daniel (C.11 to 62-2024) were previously in the collection of Bryan Beardmore (1933-2023). Beardmore began collecting ceramics in the 1970s, originally interested in Meissen porcelain figurines and the Yates factory, before focusing on H & R Daniel. He collected Daniel until his death, building up an important reference collection that numbered around 3000 pieces. Beardmore was an active member of the Daniel Ceramic Circle, a society dedicated to the study of H & R Daniel originally born out of seminars run by Michael Berthoud and Geoffrey Godden. Beardmore regularly researched and published on Daniel, co-authoring several books that have become essential to the study and identification of Daniel wares, wares which are rarely marked and therefore have to be recognised by shape alone. |
