This is a chance to own a piece of Very Rare, Beautiful Piece of Irish Wade that does not come up for Sale very often. ABSOLUTE BARGAIN at ONLY £75.00 MUST SEE! Ceramic Wall Plaques by David Chown During the late 1950s, the highly prestigious Hagen-Renaker Pottery of San Dimas, California, produced the most stunning plaques and wall hanging figures which covered a variety of subjects from butterflies, horses, fish and a bison to still life. All were produced in the usual Hagen-Renaker earthenware. Following discussions between Maxine Renaker, wife of the president of HR and Iris Carryer of Wade (Ireland), some of the molds were sent to Portadown, Northern Ireland where it was hoped Wade could produce them in porcelain for the gift market. This however became something of a nightmare as during the cooling process, after being removed from the kiln they cracked. As Iris Carryer explained to me recently, It was awful, Ping, ping, ping! They were all cracking as they cooled down. This was due to stress on the porcelain which, as it cooled, had the effect of pulling it apart and thus the cracks appeared. None of the Wade wall plaques ever went into general production and few were ever sold, however, those which do exist, like those which were produced in limited numbers by Hagen-Renaker, realise extremely high prices at auction or when privately offered for sale. If they are marked at all, those made in Portadown carry this backstamp: Made in Ireland by Wade Co. Armagh whereas the Hagen-Renaker variety are normally found unmarked. 1958.
