A market-fresh assemblage of ceramics by studio potter Michael Cardew (1901-83) and his assistants will go under the hammer at Barbara Kirk Auctions in Penzance on August 15.
The 146-lot collection was assembled in the 1950s-70s by the late Biddy and Dr John Holden of Dalabole. The couple were well-known supporters of the arts in north Cornwall and were close friends of Carder and his wife Mariel.
