Pair 18th Century English Creamware Wall Pockets Made circa 1790
About the Item
This pair of 18th-century English creamware wall pockets is hand-painted in the neoclassical style.
An identical pair can be found in the collection of The V & A Museum, item numbers 414:1166-1885 and 414:1166/A-1885. Both pieces came to The V & A Museum from the collection of Lady Charlotte Schreiber (1812-1895), an English aristocrat who was a patroness of arts and a well-known Victorian collector of porcelain.
We see a boy holding a flaming brazier of fire in high relief, emblematic of winter, a quiver at his side. The other wall pocket represents autumn.
Both very likely made at Leeds Pottery, but unmarked.
Dimensions: 10" tall x 6" wide x 2.5" deep"
Condition: Excellent
Price: $1,750.
An identical pair is also found in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art Kansas City, Missouri collection.
The illustration on page 104 of Prattware by J & G Lewis shows this pair of wall pockets holding dried flowers. The description says, "A boy holding a flaming brazier of fire in high relief, emblematic of winter, a quiver at his side. The other wall pocket represents autumn. Both possibly made at Leeds Pottery, but unmarked."
Wall pockets look beautiful, flanking a painting or a gold leaf mirror.
When decorating the space on either side of a mirror or painting, using a pair of wall pockets is unexpected.

- Antique French Creamware Lions 18th CenturyLocated in Katonah, NYWe are thrilled to offer this exceptional pair of creamware lions, each elegantly resting on a tall base adorned with sumptuous swags of dark blue "curtains" with gleaming yellow tassels and trim.

Each lion's head and mane is exquisitely painted with vibrant yellow and lined in striking midnight brown. Their mouths are painted in delicate pink, adding an extra touch of charm. Not only are these lions a sight to behold, but they will also bring a touch of humor to your home. Their jovial expressions make it impossible not to laugh along with them.

Creamware was first produced in England sometime before 1740. Foremost of the pioneers of creamware in the Staffordshire Potteries was Thomas Whieldon. The young Josiah Wedgwood partnered with Thomas Whieldon from 1754-1759. When Wedgwood left to set up his own business, he immediately directed his efforts to developing creamware.
