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.

Vintage Green Glazed Mug - Pearson's of Chesterfield

 

SOLD

Excellent green glazed mug with art deco inspired angular curved handle. Off-white inside, thick green glaze on the outside. The stamp on the base was one in use during the 1950s although this could be earlier or later.Condition is great although there are a couple of original marks inside where the glaze hasn't covered properly and there's some colour overlap on the rim. Nice old period mug, though.

Vintage Miniature Stoneware Casserole - Pearson's of Chesterfield

Perfectly serviceable single serving casserole with lid by Pearson's of Chesterfield. It's brown glazing on the lid and outside; natural coloured on the inside and underside of the lid and dates from the 1970s to 1980s. It's in perfect condition, the unglazed parts of the lid are not at all discoloured so I will hazard a guess it's never been used.

12.5cm x 7cm

Vintage Stoneware Crock Pot or Casserole - Pearson's of Chesterfield

A 3 pint stoneware casserole or crock pot by Pearson's of Chesterfield. Beige, salt-glazed and well used! I have tried to get the food stains out and have largely succeeded. There is still some ingrained and I dare say with a bit off application it can be totally cleaned. The lid, I'm afraid, isn't the original one but it's a Pearson's lid and fits perfectly. I had thought this was fairly vintage but apparently Pearson's didn't start to stamp "Established 1810" until the 1970's but I would hazard a guess and say it's at least 30 years old. The company went under about 20 years ago. Overall condition appears to be very good.

17cm (h) x 22cm dia.
