Large Creamware Racing Horse Leeds Pottery Made England Circa 1840

About the Item

I have always wanted one of these. I'm thrilled to have found it. This Leeds Pottery stallion has a wonderful face with beautiful eyes. Large creamware enamel-painted horses are rare. Leeds made the largest of the creamware horses. Our horse is 16.75 inches tall x 14.75" long. A similar example can be seen in Leeds Museums and Art Galleries (Temple Newsam House) and was featured in an exhibition during an exhibition that ran from June 1- October 30, 2005, in "The Leeds Pottery 1770 1881". Condition: Excellent with light craquelure in the glaze Price: $9,600 Our horse is cream-colored with an orange harness and a full bushy brown tail. The figure is finely modeled: he stands proudly with his head slightly turned to the right, wearing a halter, the lead line laid across his back. His tail was neatly applied, swinging onto one hind leg. The top of the base is a mottled green within a molded stiff-leaf border glazed in manganese. On his belly and underneath the bottom are two unglazed patches where the model was held up during the firing process. Dealers in equestrian feed, medicine, and tack used large pottery horses in their display windows, like those seen here, to draw in customers. Examples can be found in the Leeds City Museum, the Yorkshire Museum, and the Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum. The original Leeds Pottery factory closed around 1849-50. These prominent figures of horses were made for window displays in saddlers and tack stores, for dealers trading in horse equipment and foodstuffs. Most examples are now in public collections, including the York Museum and Leeds City Museum. Another similar horse is at The Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum, Scotland (GLS 314039) Also see Griselda Lewis, A Collector's History of English Pottery, p. 123; Also ss: John and Griselda Lewis, Pratt Ware, 1780-1840, 1984, p. 65 And see Pat Halfpenny, English Earthenware Figures 1740-1840, 1991, p. 126.

Leeds Pottery Creamware Wall Pockets Pair, 18th Century English Circa 1790

By Leeds Pottery

Located in Katonah, NY

This pair of 18th-century English creamware wall pockets is hand-painted in the neoclassical style. Made at Leeds Pottery around 1790, they feature decorative designs in green, blue, and light brown.
