Creil French Mochaware Pottery Coffee Pot

About the Item

A Creil mochaware peach-colored coffee pot made circa 1810. This elegant coffee pot features a dark brown mocha dendrite (tree) design on a light peach body. Mochaware pottery was developed in Staffordshire in the late 18th century, but spread to continental Europe through the Middle-Eastern moss agate trade. Moss agate stones, which sport a similar tree-like design, were exported to the West through the port of al Makha, translated in English to "Mocha." While moss agates were used as semiprecious stones in jewelry and objets de vertu for the upper classes, their dendrite design inspired English and European potters such as Creil to create mochawares for more quotidian usage. Dimensions: 10 in. H x 6 1/4 at widest point (25.4 cm H x 15.9 cm W) Condition: Excellent visual condition, with invisible professional restoration to cover and spout. Some minor staining to clay body under the glaze on the foot.

    By William Moorcroft
    Located in Fort Lauderdale, FL
    A decorative pottery pitcher created by William Moorcroft for James MacIntyre & Co. in 1903. This pitcher is part of William Moorcroft's Green and Gold Florian line. In producing these wares, Moorcroft utilized a medieval ceramic technique of piping liquid clay onto an earthenware body to create designs in low relief. This process resulted in crisp designs of decidedly Art Nouveau inspiration which stood out against richly colored glazes. The green and gold colorway of William Moorcroft’s Florian...

  • Six Wedgwood Majolica Argenta 'Lincoln' Pattern Dessert Dishes
    By Wedgwood
    Located in Fort Lauderdale, FL
    Six Wedgwood majolica Argenta palette ‘Lincoln' pattern dessert plates with finely molded maroon prunus blossoms and dark taupe pine branches surrounded by a yellow Greek key border. The dishes are decorated in the japonisme style and feature the “Three Friends of Winter” motif, an Asian artistic convention showing the pine, plum, and bamboo together to represent steadfastness, perseverance, and resilience. The Wedgwood factory introduced muted Argenta glazes to its majolicas in the 1880s to keep up with ever-changing fashions. The Argenta glaze color palette was more subdued than that of traditionally vibrant majolica, and was thus more appealing to the Aesthetic Movement japonisme style that pervaded the market. These Argenta majolica dessert dishes...
