About the Item
1851 Great Exhibition 'Wisdom and Providence' Pitcher by Samuel Alcock
England, 1851, unmarked
This 1851 Great Exhibition 'Wisdom and Providence' Pitcher by Samuel Alcock is a true masterpiece of its time. Created for display at the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, this pitcher embodies the spirit of cultural and industrial progress that characterized the era. Crafted from raised relief hand-painted porcelain, it features exquisite detailing and symbolism that elevate it to a work of art.
Named "Wisdom and Providence," the pitcher depicts two allegorical figures: one representing culture and the other representing industry. Each is seated amidst sunbursts and surrounded by angels and cherubs, evoking a sense of divine inspiration and guidance. Notably, one of the figures gazes into a mirror held by an angel, symbolizing self-reflection and introspection.
The pitcher's meticulous craftsmanship and intricate design make it a sight to behold, with each detail painstakingly rendered by hand. Its rarity and exceptional quality distinguish it as a prized work; being made of porcelain and not stoneware or Parian is a rare find for advanced collectors.
This stunning pitcher transcends mere utilitarianism to become a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of its maker and the cultural milieu of the 19th century.
