Staffordshire "Auld Lang Syne" '3' Figured Porcelain circa 1850. English

About the Item

Three figures are seated at a table where rests a jug of ale; all on a rectangular oval base where the title of the porcelain is stated in gold gilt script "Auld Lang Syne". Is it a Scotsman, an Irishman, and an Englishman? Could be. Conventional wisdom would like to think so. The song "Auld Lang Syne" was written in 1788 by Robert Burns, and reintroduced with an illustration by John Massey Wright in 1841 which depicts these three figures. Multi-colored in blue, white, orange and green; there is wonderful crazing complementing an excellent surface, and strong colors. There is no restoration of any kind and the piece and it is in excellent and all original condition; extraordinary for a piece this old. Dimensions: 7 7/8" high x 4"" deep x 6 7/8"" wide. Provenance: From my own private collection, having acquired this in 1992 from a prominent porcelain collector in the north of England.

Staffordshire Cottage Still Bank, English, circa 1880
By Staffordshire
Located in Incline Village, NV
Very attractive and well-made decorative and colorful Staffordshire porcelain money box or savings bank; made in England, indicative of the style potters from that region employed, circa 1880. Nicely detailed with green floral facie, orange double pane windows and front door, and a white painted cottage with brown steps and green fauna at entry. There were no "coin traps" or provisions for coin removal so banks such as these are rare since smashing or breaking the bank was the only method by which the money could be retrieved. The bank is in very good all original condition with only a minor "hairline" repair to one of the chimney stacks (see image). It is very sound and done a long time ago and is hardly noticeable. Being a cross collectible, this would be a very unique addition for a Staffordshire collector indeed (the subject being a money box), or a welcome compliment to any still bank...
