An Anne Gordon model of a Grouse , date 1981, decorated in coloured enamels, 21cm high, painted monogram and dated 81 Provenance: Shefford Woodlands House, Berkshire The proceeds of sale from this collection will be donated to a number of local charities. Anne Gordon, (née Barry) (1924 ~ 2007) was a ceramic artist best known for her models of artichokes and cabbages. The colourful vegetables were often used as centrepieces for dining room tables. Such was her fame that after one exhibition, in New York, she was dubbed "the cabbage lady". She married Alastair Ninian John Gordon, 6th Marquess of Aberdeen and Temair, whom is perhaps best remembered for magazine and other articles describing his experiences in the brothels of Knightsbridge and Beirut including one, written for the Oldie magazine, entitled "The Good Whore Guide".
