By Basil Matthews "U R A 1" SlipWare Automobile
An old vintage car, broken down with the driver underneath looking up at the toy French poodle on the passenger seat. The registration of the car reads "U R A 1"
Generally in good condition but there is unfortunately one headlight missing and a small piece missing from the front right mud guard but this is a rare piece.
The base is signed and is marked "Tradinional 'Ol Staffordshire' Slip Ware"
Basil Matthews was born in Wales.
When he was a young man this talented self-taught artist had perfected a new ceramic process. He opened his own studio in the late 1940's. He started with horses and from there did all kinds of animals. He received an endorsement from Queen Mary for his work.
He never did mass production instead concentrating on limited pieces of no more than about a hundred. An internationally acclaimed designer and figurine artist, Basil Matthews was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Member of the Society of Industrial Artists and Designers, and Fellow of the Society of Design Craftsmen.
