About the Item

This lovely pottery dessert service was made in England by William Ridgway circa 1825. The set includes four dessert plates, two pairs of shaped serving dishes, and a raised centerpiece bowl, all decorated with stylized apple green floral motifs highlighted with gilt (9 pieces). The blue ground is delicate, soft, and just cool enough to contrast beautifully with the vivid apple green decoration. The blue ground creates an overall effect of lightness and freshness while providing a calm backdrop for the lively green and gilt. The scalloped edges and elegant molded shapes reflect early 19th-century English taste. Whether arranged on a dining table or displayed in a cabinet, this antique service brings charm and distinction. Dimensions: Plates 9" diameter, Centerpiece 11" diameter and 13" across the handles, x 6" tall, Shaped Dishes 10.75" x 9.5", and 10" x 8.5" Condition: Excellent with the very slightest rubbing to the gilt Price: $780 Background of Ridgway Pottery: The Ridgway family was one of the most important pottery dynasties in Staffordshire, England, during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Beginning with Job Ridgway in the 1790s, the firm produced earthenwares and porcelains that came to define key developments in English ceramics. After Job Ridgway died in 1813, his sons John Ridgway and William Ridgway took over the family’s Shelton-based pottery. Ridgway factories were notable for their innovation in: Colored glazes and enamel decoration, and export wares, especially for American and colonial markets Today, Ridgway pottery is sought after for its variety, historical significance, and distinctive Regency aesthetic.
