Scottish Wemyss Ware: The George Bellamy Collection

Sale number: 770Lyon &amp; Turnbull are delighted to offer The George Bellamy Collection of Scottish Wemyss Ware at auction this January.&nbsp;George was a legendary collector of Wemyss Ware - the plants and animals which adorn each piece were a natural collecting choice for the countryside loving Bellamy. His collection includes works from across the Scottish production period, from 1882 to 1930, when the factory closed in Scotland.&nbsp;The George Bellamy Collection is one of the finest ever to come to market, with many rare and exceptionally painted examples, including the instantly recognisable modelled pig and cat figures, plates, mugs and trays decorated with animals, and magnificent baluster vases by Karel Nekola and James Sharp.&nbsp;
