Vintage Stoneware Vase - Pearson's of Chesterfield - RARE



Pearson's of Chesterfield also produced an art pottery range alongside their domestic stoneware. It's not easy to find but occasionally something does pop up and it's often a real treat. This is a very substantial vase in sage green bearing the post WWII backstamp. I believe the shape is technically termed a "hyperboloid" although as it appears hand thrown I suspect the underlying geometry was ignored by the potter.  It's in fantastic condition with only production blemishes in the very thick glaze.

17.5cm (h) x 12cm dia at base.

Antique Sprigged Blueware Jug with repaired handle - Copeland late Spode


White earthenware jug with blue body and Grecian scene in white sprigged figures by Copeland. The backstamp is the "Frank's Boat" one of a design used between 1894 & 1910. The RD No, 180288, refers to this mark and not the pot design. Unfortunately the handle has been broken and repaired using what appears to be epoxy resin. It looks to be a clean enough break so a skilled restorer may be able to do something with it. There also looks to be a 3/4" hairline crack on the inside of the spout. Despite the damage it's very clean and ind still very nice visually.

11.5cm (h) x 15cm

Vintage Posy Basket - Crown Ducal


Posy basket in cream and brown with floral pattern on the inside and green twisted rope handle. The backstamp was used from the 1930s until the 1950s and the general condition would fit with this. It has lost some of the detail to the flowers and there is some ingrained grime, especially to the handle which I am in the process of removing. It is crazed all over but once cleaned will present well.
