Sculpture: An extremely rare terracotta figure of Pan by the Compton Pottery early 20th century 72cm.; 28ins high The Compton Potters Art Guild was started by Mary Watts, the wife of G.F. Watts the Victorian allegorical painter. In 1895 work began on the Watts Mortuary Chapel. Designed by Mary Watts, it was to be built from local clay by the villagers of Compton, near Godalming, Surrey. Mr and Mrs Watts were dedicated supporters of the growing Home Arts and Industries Association, a voluntary movement launched by Earl Brownlow in 1885 to revive the dying art of handicraft among the working classes. The Pottery Art Guild made a variety of garden ornaments including pots, sundials and a few rare figurative pieces, winning medals at the Royal Botanical Society and the Home Arts’ highest award, the gold cross. Although not stamped the modelling and consistency of clay would certainly suggest a Compton attribution and this figure is illustrated in the early 20th century Potters Art Guild catalogue.
