Early 19th Century Pottery

A fine pair of 19th century English Spongeware pottery plates. Both plates with green & blue painted decoration that appears to have been dabbed or spread with a sponge, hence the name spongeware. One of the plates has some overpaint and is more brightly decorated than its mate. Simply a great pair of 19th century Staffordshire spongeware plates...

This rare early 19th-century cheese strainer is a beautiful example of traditional French rural pottery. Handcrafted in terracotta, it features a rich honey-brown glaze on the interior and rim, contrasting with the natural, unglazed base on the outside. The piece is instantly recognizable by its unique form: a wide, shallow basin with a raised central platform, designed to separate whey from curd during the cheese-making process. The slight lip on the rim and the central pedestal are both functional and decorative, reflecting the artisanal know-how of the period. This antique strainer...

A Neoclassical red transferware tile made by Spode 1806-1810, with the ‘Refreshments for Phliasian Horseman’ pattern. Sir William Hamilton’s Collection of Etruscan, Greek and Roman antiquities, first published in 1766 by Pierre d’Hancarville, was a landmark publication in English design. It intended to disseminate the Antique style through its engravings of Attic pottery. The catalog’s faithful reproductions of Classical vases led British potteries, including Spode, to adapt or even copy the ancient art for modern life. These Spode Greek pattern tiles reflect the major influence of Hamilton’s catalog on English Neoclassicism. The central scene was taken directly from the catalog. This tile can be dated to a narrow window of production in the Spode factory, 1806-1810. During that time, Spode used a technique known as the “Pluck and Dust” method to print in red transfer designs onto creamware. Using this method, source prints were transferred overglaze using tissue imprinted with a very faint rendition of the design outlined in sticky oil. The decorator applied the tissue to the object then carefully “plucked” or pulled it away, leaving the sticky oil design behind. Then, a finely-ground enamel color was “dusted” onto the surface, sticking to any areas that had the oil. A final firing at a low temperature in the enamel kiln made the pattern permanent. The Pluck and Dust technique improved upon bat-printing and enabled larger designers to be transferred. It was short-lived, however, as under-glaze transfer printing soon took over as the preferred method for producing transferwares. Dimensions: 5 in. x 5 in. x 1/4 in. Condition: Excellent. Slight chip to the upper left corner measuring approximately 0.9 cm. in length. Provenance: The Collection of Nancy and Andrew Ramage Jonathan Horne...
