Staffordshire
Thanks to its reserves of clay, lead, salt and coal, Staffordshire, England, has been a center for ceramics since the early 17th century. The county was home at one time to hundreds of pottery workshops and as many as 4,000 bottle-shaped kilns that operated year-round. The term “Staffordshire Potteries” refers to the industrial area of Stoke-on-Trent — comprising the towns Burslem, Fenton, Hanley, Longton, Stoke and Tunstall — where most of the production was concentrated.
In 1720, potter John Astbury discovered that he could make what would later be called creamware by adding ground flint powder to the local red clay. Because resources were so plentiful in Staffordshire, local potters could afford to experiment, working to refine their techniques and designs. One such innovator was Thomas Whieldon, an important 18th-century potter known today for his tortoiseshell ware, whose brilliant glazed surface of caramel, yellow and green hues was made with copper and manganese compounds. Whieldon operated the Fenton Low workshop, making coffee- and teapots, dinner services and even ornamental knife hafts. He was an influential figure: Josiah Spode apprenticed at the workshop, and Josiah Wedgwood partnered with Whieldon for five years before establishing his eponymous firm in 1759.
Wedgwood is perhaps the best known of the Staffordshire potters. The firm produced a line of light-colored earthenware for Queen Charlotte, who liked it so much that she granted permission to market it under the moniker Queen’s Ware, which despite the name, was designed for everyday use. In the same regal vein, in 1773, Wedgwood created the 954-piece Frog service for Catherine the Great, of Russia. The company is also known for its black stoneware, Black Basalt, which imitates the color and shapes of Etruscan vases; Jasperware, with its classical reliefs applied on the unglazed body; and pearlware.
By the end of the 18th century, Staffordshire was the primary producer of ceramics for the American colonies, even creating patriotic wares celebrating independence for this market. The imagery on Staffordshire ceramics became more standardized the mid-18th century with the advent of transferware, in which a design etched on a copper plate is printed on tissue paper, which is then used to transfer the wet ink onto the ceramic surface. This technique enabled artisans to decorate their wares with complex scenes that wrapped around an object’s surface and make several copies of popular patterns.
The Staffordshire potters also produced decorative figurines, such as this charming pair of cows dating from the 19th century. Particularly popular in Great Britain were pieces with hunting imagery, such as this George IV porcelain stirrup cup in the shape of a fox head wearing a gilt collar inscribed with the word “Tallyho.” Among the many whimsical vessels produced is this mid-19th-century frog mug. The exterior is painted with a charming scene of people picking fruit on one side and ladies on a garden swing on the other side, while inside a molded frog’s head at the bottom of the mug makes a gurgling sound when the the beverage has been almost completely consumed.

English Pair of Porcelain Potpourri Vases, Cobalt Blue with Landscapes, ca 1830
By Staffordshire
Located in London, GB
On offer is a stunning pair of potpourri vases with covers, made by one of the great English (and probably Staffordshire) factories in about 1830. The vases are in excellent condition with some light restoration and have stunning gilding and hand painted landscapes.
Potpourri vases were meant to hold a mix of scented dried flowers and leaves to freshen the air in the often stuffy Georgian or Victorian homes in a time before vacuum cleaners. The lids therefore are perforated to let the scent out.
These vases are very much like the vases made by Spode, Rockingham or Minton, however after doing much research we have not been able to establish who made them - leading us to think that it might be Samuel Alcock, who made fabulous ornamental wares in the style of aforementioned factories. As there is hardly any documentation about the Alcock factory it is hard to identify their wares.
Whichever factory made these, they are of the highest quality and with the boldness that any of these great factories were known for. They are stunningly decorated in deep underglaze cobalt blue and a rich gilt pattern. On the front they have eserves with brilliantly painted landscapes on the front.
The items are unmarked.
CONDITION REPORT The vases are in very good condition with some minor flaws and some light crazing throughout. One vase has a round crack in the inside bottom of the body body around the screw, a few tiny chips off landscape painting, and a rim chip was professionally restored. The other vase has a tiny hairline in the square foot, a repaired crack down the body that can be felt from the outside but hardly seen, some gilt touch up on the rim and one handle has been broken and invisibly restored. One cover has had the finial broken off, which has been glued invisibly with a screw inside to strengthen it. None of these flaws distract from the beauty of the vases and all are hardly visible with the naked eye from the outside.

Questions About Staffordshire
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No. In fact, most Staffordshire figurines are not marked. Staffordshire figurines made from 1740 to the mid-1900s don’t generally have a maker’s mark, since they were produced by unknown, small manufacturers. Those manufactured by Kent between 1944 and 1962 feature a black printed mark that reads “Staffordshire Ware Kent Made in England.” Shop a collection of Staffordshire figurines from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022You can typically spot Staffordshire pottery by locating the potter’s mark or symbol. One of the most common varieties is the Staffordshire knot, which is a three-loop knot sometimes accompanied by initials and a crown. Shop a collection of vintage and contemporary Staffordshire pottery from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Is Staffordshire pottery marked?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Almost all Staffordshire pottery and porcelain features a potter’s mark or symbol. One of the most common varieties is the Staffordshire knot, which is a three-loop knot sometimes accompanied by initials and a crown. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of vintage and contemporary Staffordshire pottery from some of the world’s top dealers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a few signs to look for to authenticate an antique Staffordshire dog figurine. Antique figurines are press molded and feature a small hole in the base, rather than a larger one. The quality of the painting is highly detailed and gilded detail may be worn a bit with age. It is always best to have a professional verify if your figurine is authentic. Shop a range of expertly vetted Staffordshire dog figures on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To tell if Staffordshire figurines are real, turn them over. An authentic Staffordshire will have a hole in the base due to the press-molded firing technique. Also, artisans hand-painted the figurines, so no two ever show off the exact same variations in color. Staffordshire didn't add maker's marks to their pieces. If you see a name on a decorative object, it is unlikely to be authentic. Find a collection of expertly vetted Staffordshire figurines on 1stDibs.
