Georgian Rare Pair Treacle Glazed Stoneware Cottage Money Boxes

About the Item

A rare and large pair Georgian English treacle glazed stoneware cottage money boxes dating from the early 19th century. The large cottage money boxes are finely crafted with a step leading to the front door, with two windows and two triple chimney stacks set either end of a pitched tile roof. The pitched tiled roof with two dormer winders to the front elevation. With detailed brick styling to the walls the cottage has a money slot to the back edge of the roof ridge and both are decorated in a brown treacle glaze. The money boxes have unglazed bases and are typically not marked. These are a very rare find having survived in this wonderful original condition as they would have had to be broken to access the money. Provenance: Acquired from the British Art Market. In very good condition for age with loss to one chimney stack and a small chip to the corner of one step.

  • Staffordshire Georgian Two Pearlware Religious Printed Childs Plates with Verse
    By Staffordshire
    Located in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire
    Two fine English Georgian, probably Staffordshire, child’s pearlware plates decorated with religious scenes and verse dating from the early 19th century. The finely potted plates are of octagonal shape both with relief molded fruit and floral designs to the rim, one hand painted and other simply glazed rim but with a pink lustre edge. Due to the edge patterning being the same we believe the plates to have originated from the same pottery. Both plates have printed religious scenes to the center with printed prayers, possibly as teaching aids for children. One has a scene of Christ rising from the dead with a prayer reading ‘Behold him rising from the grave. Behold him raised on high. He pleads his merit there to save Transgressor doom’d to die.’ The scene shows soldiers, some sleeping around the entrance to the tomb. The second plate shows a child reading...
