About the Item
This mochaware pitcher was designed to hold a pint of beer or lager. It was crafted in England circa 1870.
The colors are soft, and the attractive design follows a pattern typical of English mochaware made for export to the European continent. Around the top of the pitcher is a band of medium blue slip.
Below that, two thin bands of midnight brown slip are followed by a broad band of light brown slip, which is underlined by two additional thin bands of midnight brown slip.
The single wide band is sparsely decorated with mocha 'Trees".
The elegant spacing of the mochaware "Trees" adds to the beauty of the pitcher.
Dimensions: 4.75" tall x 4" diameter at the base x 6" from spout to handle
Condition: Excellent
Price: $380
Background of Mocha "Trees":
In his book Mocha and Related Dipped Wares, 1770-1939, Jonathan Rickard states, "The most recognizable type of mocha decoration is the tree." The tree-like pattern results from a dynamic process in which the contact line between two liquids, the acidic dark brown coloring and the alkaline slip, becomes unstable. The acid/base chemical reaction drives the instability. Rickard explains the process: Instead of leaving the pot on the lathe, the turner removed the pot and carefully held it bottom-up. Then he dipped his brush into the dark brown acidic concoction and touched the brush just outside the bottom edge of the broadest slip band. After that, the brown coloring ran quickly downwards while spreading its branches".
