This is a very rare ironstone vase, in the Chinese style, all hand painted in the coloured dragon pattern, made by the Mason's factory in the early 19th century. Both the vase shape and the pattern are very rare. The vase has a bottle shape with a fairly tall neck, having two dolphin head handles, with attached loops. (NOTES ON SHAPE This vase style is a copy of a much earlier Chinese bronze vase shape produced in the Ming, Hongwu period of 1368 - 1398, which had similar decorative animal head side handles with loops. ( See the book Chinese Ceramics by He Li, page 216, published by Thames & Hudson. ). Also On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 204; The square handles and rings illustrate the metal origins of the shape of the vase. Similar examples have been excavated in Chinese tombs dating to the fifteenth and sixteenth century, suggesting that the shape was particularly popular at that time.) This vase is beautifully hand decorated in a more complex variant of the Coloured Chinese Dragon pattern, with strong coloured enamels depicting a green dragon on one side and a pink dragon...

A charming English majolica butter dish or cheese dish modeled as a crisp green cabbage leaf and topped with a vibrant red tomato finial. This whimsical ceramic piece embodies the enduring appeal of English majolica tableware, celebrated for its richly colored glazes and naturalistic forms. Produced in England during the early to mid-20th century, the dish features deeply molded cabbage leaves rendered in brilliant green glazes with subtle tonal variations and realistic veining. The removable domed lid is crowned with a sculptural tomato and foliage finial, creating a delightful garden-inspired presentation. The underside bears a "Made in England" mark, consistent with many English majolica and cottage-industry ceramic productions of the period. Pieces such as this were designed to bring a touch of whimsy and country-house charm to the breakfast table and remain highly sought after by collectors and interior designers alike. Today, cabbageware continues to be favored by tastemakers for its ability to blend effortlessly into English country, Palm Beach, traditional, maximalist, and garden-inspired interiors. This piece works beautifully: Displayed on open kitchen shelving alongside copper cookware and antique transferware...

This is a finely hand painted large and rare early Stone China (Ironstone) plate / stand or platter which dates to the George 111 period, circa 1815. Made by the DAVENPORT factory of Longport, Staffordshire Potteries, England. The plate is very well potted with a slightly raised central circular section. This plate is beautifully hand painted in a pattern called "Stork", which is pattern number 24 and one of Davenport's very few Chinoiserie patterns.
