Early Wedgwood Egyptian Revival Neoclassical Rosso Antico Coffee Pot

About the Item

A Wedgwood rosso antico coffee pot made ca. 1810. The pot's red body is accentuated by black basalt details in the Egyptian Revival style. Developed by Josiah Wedgwood in the 1760s, rosso antico famously exhibits the Egyptian Revival style that became popular in the early 19th century during Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign. However, as the name suggests, these ‘antique red’ wares also made reference to the ancient pottery concurrently excavated from Pompeii and Herculaneum. This Wedgwood rosso antico coffee pot feels more Classical in design than Egyptian Revival, with its stylized acanthus leaf and bell flower garlands. Dimensions: 7 3/4 in. H x 8 in. W (20.3 cm H x 21.3 cm W) Condition: Excellent. Two flecks of white paint visible on body. References: Victoria & Albert Museum, WE.3655-2016.

  • Green and Gold Florian Ware Pitcher by William Moorcroft
    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...
