A pair of Royal Worcester vases with gilded rims, painted with Highland cattle by Harry Stinton, and the backs featuring small Scottish landscape vignettes, 1928.
Harry Stinton is one of the most talented members of the famous Stinton family of artists.
Harry Stinton (1883-1968)
Harry was the son of John Stinton Junior and the nephew of James Stinton. He was born in 1883 and he suffered from many childhood illnesses that meant frequent hospital visits and long admissions.
In 1896, Harry began work at the Worcester factory and studied under his father.
He learned to produce the same highland cattle scenes, although he guided his palette more to the purples and autumnal tints to differentiate them from his fathers work.
He appears to have benefited from the experience, as he grew into an imposing figure that many people likened to his father and to the Highland cattle that they both painted.
Harry was a keen fisherman and would spend much of his time with Harry Davis though both he and his father were generally regarded as loners.
A great exhibitor Harry won several medals from the National Art School and went on to become a greatly respected water-colourist.
He won several awards for his pictures; which covered many pastoral scenes of sheep, gamebirds and plain landscapes as well as his highland cattle scenes.
