Minton Majolica Purple Grape Cluster on Green Leaf Covered Box, date marked 1861
About the Item
We rarely use the term rare … here we have a VERY rare covered majolica box in the form of a cluster of grapes on a leaf tray, made by Minton in England, date marked 1861.
One of only two known examples. For the most discerning of collectors.
The cluster of grapes is realistically modeled and glazed in a gorgeous purple-blue, with an interesting treatment to the molding of the stem network. The grapes sit on a green grape vine leaf showing exceptional movement, with openwork molding where the stem meets the leaf.
The interior of both the base and lid are finished in the beautiful blue glaze particular to Minton pieces.
Minton Majolica was created by Joseph Leon Francois Arnoux, who was appointed art director in 1848. Arnoux used a sturdy, thick bodied clay coated in an opaque white glaze, and over painted with brightly colored lead based glazes. This pottery was exhibited at The Great Exhibition of 1851.
Provenance: From the collection of Charles Washburne Antiques of Solebury, Pennsylvania, and Chappaqua, New York.
6 in. L x 5 in. W x 3.5 in. H
