About the Item
19th Century English Staffordshire Blue & White Marbleized Neoclassical Footbath
A generously scaled 19th-century English footbath in the rare and visually arresting blue and white marbleized glaze, attributed to Staffordshire, circa 1860–1880. This hand-formed earthenware vessel exemplifies the utilitarian elegance of Victorian hygiene wares, with a bold, painterly surface treatment and refined proportions rooted in Neoclassical design ideals—symmetry, purity of form, and classical restraint.
Measuring an impressive 19 inches across the handles (16" W x 12" D x 8.5" H overall), the footbath features an elegant ovoid silhouette with a flared rim, flanking scrolled handles, and a low molded base. The interior is equally decorated in a profuse and fluid veining effect, achieved through a complex ceramic technique resembling mocha ware or dendritic slip marbling, where cobalt-colored slip is manipulated across a white ground to emulate veined marble—a nod to ancient Roman stonework, which deeply influenced the Neoclassical aesthetic.
The inner basin, measuring 14.5" W x 11" D x 8" H, was originally intended for foot-soaking as part of personal hygiene in Victorian households. Today, it is prized for its versatile scale and striking surface, repurposed as a planter, wine cooler, towel holder, or centerpiece in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
The base shows typical wear and mild age-related crazing consistent with 19th-century pottery. Unmarked, as is common for Staffordshire production of the period.
