The Cartwright Collection, comprising monochrome Chinese porcelain and glass, is a testament to the discerning tastes of three generations of the Cartwright family from Aynhoe Park, Northamptonshire. Initiated by William Cornwallis Cartwright, M. P. (1825-1915), who acquired select ceramics and glass primarily from Bluett's between 1910 and 1913, the collection expanded under the stewardship of his son, Sir Fairfax Leighton Cartwright, GCMG, GCVO (1857-1928). Concurrently, Richard Fairfax William Cartwright (1903-1954), grandson of William, embarked on his own acquisitions starting in 1933, amassing a collection of around 400 monochrome porcelains by his untimely death in 1954. These treasures adorned a specially curated room at Aynhoe Park, hailed in the post-World War II guidebook as 'one of the glories of Aynhoe.'
Following the sale of Aynhoe Park circa 1960, Roger Bluett facilitated the relocation of the collection to the Cartwright family's manor house near Bath in the mid-1970s, which belonged to R.F.W. Cartwright's daughter. This transition likely prompted the sale of a select few duplicates through Bluetts, initially showcased at the Antique Dealers' Fair held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in June 1975.
