Here's a jardinière to delight you, if you love roses, the color pink and richly detailed china. It's hard to capture in photographs, but this pot has loads of textural interest. Beads and wispy wavy patterns are worked in the clay, beneath those delicious glazes that look like raspberries and cream. The rose motif, painted on both sides, is so fine that sunlight seems to glow through the outer leaves. Both the base and upper edge are scalloped and there's copper lustre around the top. Measuring 4 inches high and 4 1/2 inches across, this little beauty is in very nice condition, showing only age-appropriate crackling of the glaze, minor base wear and a little flaking on the lustred edge. You have to look closely to notice. Unfortunately, this is the sole survivor of a set. Its larger mate broke on the journey from England and the maker mark was probably on the smashed one. As you know, it was quite common in Victorian times for makers not to put their names on every piece of a set. On this one, the base shows only a Staffordshire England stamp. Alas, I forgot to search through the shards of the other and haven't been able to identify the pattern yet. If you have a clue as to which Staffordshire pottery made this, please e-mail to tell me. There's no charge for insured U.S. shipping and gift-wrap is always free when desired. Please e-mail to confirm availability, order or request more photos. Thanks for looking! |
