Re: John Maltby
What a gorgeous piece! Early 70's maybe.

He’s a dude…..wife reckons he’s is like a voodoo figure….you can see the influence on his later works already coming through I think….

Surely is this not Lady Godiva? Protesting that she is cold? (arms crossed) If it's a man then he must be very cold if you get my meaning?

Maybe I’m all for fluidity……legs akimbo made me think of a male but lady is also good with me….

Re: John Maltby
The is perfect illustration really of the charm, vitality and humour that John Maltby bought to his work.
When you think he spent several as an apprentice years of 1962/63 with David Leach, you would expect a straight line Leach style potter. But he did such an extraordinary range of work. Collages, Boats, Automatons, sculpture.... I think he did this sort of work in the early 70's. You do not see a great deal of it on the market.
But this piece is so atypical John Maltby. Whacky, humourous and delightful. This one verges on the fully ribald! I envy you!
Given the pieces he made later in life. I wonder if this type of piece was really his first love? But he could never really get a market for them.

Re: John Maltby
I think his domesticwres are a good investment. Dirt cheap - no one wants them - completely ignored but imagine if LR had made a cheap set of standard ware. They won't make thousands or even hundreds but should go up IMO.
Re: John Maltby
To be honest Crawford, his domestic wares are pretty dull. I have had several Stoneshill pieces over the years, and they were actually not very good. There were a whole load of potters doing better work in the Leach tradition.

Re: John Maltby
Well you can certainly buy it cheap enough! In January a Stonehill coffee pot and teapot went for £10 at East Bristol Auctions.
Equally, prices for John Maltby items have cooled substantially. It might also just have to do with just how large a number of his items come on the market. There are well over 40 items of his for sale at auction in March alone this year.

Re: John Maltby
OK I bought a piece of Alvar Alto glass new for work as they wanted 'decorations' and asked us to pick- it was £95 new 5 years ago. One sold for approx. £250 recently. I was impressed, but when I told them they were meh. All the other crap people bought from the internet is now worthless, but unless my price rise was worth thousands they were not interested. Meh they said.
X2+ your money in ANY NEW item in 5 years is impressive IMO - we are not talking vintage LR or Damien Hirst here - it's new glassware in a white box. They wanted decorations for the office.
Same with JM domestic ware - you won't retire on it but I still say it's undervalued.

Re: John Maltby
For my two pennies worth for what it’s worth I think his stoneshill figures and sculptures will become more valuable and sought after because they are more scarce….if you like Maltby and many many collectors do then what’s not to like about his early work….

They were wholesale prices but I did add it to show how times had changed.
