A pair of fine oils by Victorian artist William Watson topped the Louis Taylor fine art auctioneers latest two-day sale in Hanley, the hammer falling at £4,700.

There was also much interest in a Victorian Primitive School oil painting of a bull. The picture, which needed to be restretched and was in need of a clean and was estimated at £200-£300, but three telephone bids with several interested parties in the auction rooms saw it sell for £1,600.

Last Monday’s auction saw Doulton, Beswick, Moorcroft and all other ceramics being sold and joint top price was taken for a Royal Doulton Henry VIII prototype jug and a Royal Doulton flambé Sung vase, each selling
