A Troika chimney vase
General Sale 28th February 2018



The Troika pottery was established in St. Ives, Cornwall by Lesley Illsley, Jan Thompson and Benny Sirota in 1963. The name Troika (meaning a Russian sleigh drawn by three horses) chosen for its sharp, angular sound that hinted at the sharp, angular forms they had in mind for production.  The dream was to produce innovative mould-cast wares – heavily textured monolithic wares were the result.  Due to the size of the kiln and the small operation only small items could be produced at first, such as bottles and tiles.  In late 1963 a larger kiln was purchased and larger pieces created.  The move to Newlyn saw fresh creativity amongst the colony of artists in 1970 and the pottery prospered.  By the early 1980’s the impetus waned with two of the three original founders leaving and the pottery closed in 1983. Despite this, Troika Art pottery is ranked amongst the most distinctive pottery produced in the 1960’s and 1970’s and remains highly sought after.

Lot 334 (Antiques and Interiors Auction 14th February 2018)

A Sunday stick in the form of a wood, with metal ferrule at tip and ivory and ebony insert, stamped D. Andrews and Sons, Scotland, St. Andrews.  84cm long







Sunday sticks, or clubs, were first made in the 1890's.  Made by apprentices in the workshops to test their mettle.  Called Sunday clubs because they could be surreptitiously used on the Sabbath, a day when golf was prohibited; as the owner wandered along the road he could take a furtive swish at the nearest pebble.


D. Anderson and Sons (St. Andrews) continued the business in 1893 that previously existed as D W Anderson.  David Anderson was the son of legendary Old Da, a ballmaker and greenkeeper of the Old Course.  The factory was situated adjacent to the 18th green on the Old Course at St. Andrews and saw all five of David Anderson's sons working there.  The firm ceased trading in 1939.
