Regency Pitchers

REGENCY STYLE

Like France’s Empire style, Regency-style furniture was rooted in neoclassicism; the characteristics of its bedroom furniture, armchairs, dining room tables and other items include clean lines, angular shapes and elegant details.

Dating roughly from the 1790s to 1830s, antique Regency-style furniture gets its name from Prince George of Wales — formally King George IV — who became Prince Regent in 1811 after his father, George III, was declared unfit to rule. England’s Regency style is one of the styles represented in Georgian furniture.

George IV’s arts patronage significantly influenced the development of the Regency style, such as the architectural projects under John Nash, which included the renovation of Buckingham House into the formidable Buckingham Palace with a grand neoclassical facade. Celebrated designers of the period include Thomas Sheraton, Henry Holland and Thomas Hope. Like Nash, Hope instilled his work with classical influences, such as saber-legged chairs based on the ancient Greek klismos. He is credited with introducing the term “interior decoration” to English with the 1807 publishing of Household Furniture and Interior Decoration.

Although more subdued than previous styles like Rococo and Baroque, Regency interiors incorporated copious use of chintz fabrics and wallpaper adorned in chinoiserie-style art. Its furniture featured fine materials and luxurious embellishments. Furniture maker George Bullock, for instance, regularly used detailed wood marquetry and metal ornaments on his pieces.

Archaeological discoveries in Egypt and Greece informed Regency-era details, such as carved scrollwork, sphinxes and palmettes, as well as the shape of furniture. A Roman marble cinerary chest, for example, would be reinterpreted into a wooden cabinet. The Napoleonic Wars also inspired furniture, with martial designs like tented beds and camp-style chairs becoming popular. While the reddish-brown mahogany was prominent in this range of pieces, imported woods like zebrawood and ebony were increasingly in demand.

Spode Milk Jug Creamer, Imari Patt. 1291 with Birds and Rich Gilt, ca 1808
Spode Milk Jug Creamer, Imari Patt. 1291 with Birds and Rich Gilt, ca 1808

Spode Milk Jug Creamer, Imari Patt. 1291 with Birds and Rich Gilt, ca 1808

By Spode

Located in London, GB

This is a beautiful milk jug or creamer made by Spode around 1808. The jug is decorated in a richly gilded Imari pattern that has also been seen on Nantgarw porcelain, with beautiful birds. Josiah Spode was the great pioneer among the Georgian potters in England. Around the year 1800 he perfected the bone china recipe that has been used by everyone ever since, and he was also the leading potter behind the technique of transferware, making it possible for English potters to replace the import of Chinese china that had come to an end around that time, with their own. This was fundamental to a thriving industry that would last for about 150 years and provide half the world with their tableware. This pattern is interesting; it is probably copied from a Japanese pattern from the 18th Century. The Japanese Imari patterns from that era can have very rich gilding and this has the traditional Imari colour palette of underglaze cobalt blue and overglaze red and green. In the central panel on each side is a stunning exotic bird, and there is a little yellow bird at the foot under the mouth. The mouth of the jug is unusual; it has a very neoclassical English flower motif left out of the gilt covering. The jug is not marked (which is unusual for Spode) except the nearly washed off number 1291. It is clear from the shape, size and remaining pattern number that this is a Spode jug...
