Mochaware Pitcher Decorated with “”Trees” and Seaweed” England, circa 1810
$1,600.00Made in England circa 1810 this mochaware pitcher is decorated with “Trees” and “Seaweed.” It is molded in an elegant shape with an extra-wide mouth probably made this way so that pieces of fruit in a punch could pour out. The pitcher has bands of orange-brown slip decorated with both “Trees” and “Seaweed”. These dendritic designs are part of what make mochaware is unique. The design is formed by using small amounts of an acidic dark brown liquid and carefully dropping this liquid onto the alkaline orange slip before firing. The resultant chemical reaction causes the tree-seaweed pattern. Because the patterns are caused by chemical reactions each one is unique. The managers of mochaware factories often only specified the style of the work but gave each turner some freedom regarding the choice of design and colors. On this pitcher, the slip bands are separated by six thin bands of impressed white pearls and two white bands of impressed waves.
Dimensions: 6.75 inches tall x 7 inches deep x 4.5 inches diameter at widest point
Condition: Excellent with very slight fritting and toning along the top edge.

Minton Chinoiserie Dish
$520.00From the Collection of Mario Buatta
Mario loved finding unique pieces if they were also beautiful.
This is a rare early Minton porcelain dish with a wonderful hand-painted Chinoiserie scene. Made in England circa 1810. The dish features a delightful chinoiserie scene of a Chinese boy playing in a field. The pieces in this charming pattern were not identical: each piece would have portrayed figures performing a different activity. This pattern’s variety can be seen in a cup and saucer in this pattern, which we also acquired from Mario’s estate.
The reverse shows the Minton mark in underglaze blue with pattern number 539. For more information on the Chinese Sports Series, see Loren Zeller’s article “Jean-Baptiste Pillement’s Recueil de Plusieurs Jeux d’Enfants Chinois: A Review of the Artist’s Work as Source for 18th and 19th Century Ceramic Designs” in the Northern Ceramic Society Journal, Volume 32, June 2016.Dimensions: Diameter 8.25 in. x H 1.5 in.

Prattware Watch Stand with Original Pottery Watch
$900.00This antique Prattware pottery watch stand has its original pottery watch. In our 57 years in business this is the only watch stand that we have ever seen complete with its original watch. So, this is definitely a rare piece!
The watch stand was made by “Dixon Austin & Co.” in Sunderland located in North East England, circa 1820-1826. It would have been found in the home of a man of means. When the man of the house got dressed in the morning he would remove his pocket watch from the stand and replace it with the pottery watch you see here. When he returned at night he would remove the pottery watch and replace it with his own.
For an image and description see p.216 , Ill 910, in Creamware and other English Pottery at Temple Newsam House, Leeds, by Peter Walton where the author states “In the form of a long-case clock provided with an aperture for the face of the watch. On one side stands a small girl and on the other a boy… Painted in blue, green, yellow, orange, and brown.”
This watch stand is decorated with traditional Pratt colors of underglaze yellow, orange, green, ochre, and blue. Any collection of early 19th century English pottery would be enhanced by this piece.
Dimensions: H 11 in. x W 7 in. x D 2.75 in.
Condition: Excellent. Tiny edge frits to the base.
Price: $900
References: A similar watch stand is illustrated in Sunderland Museum and Art Gallery, Sunderland Ware, 1973, pl.24. An image and description can also be found in English Earthenware Figures 1740-1840 by Pat Halfpenny, on page 123. Also, see Griselda Lewis’s Prattware, page 237.

Pair of Paris Porcelain Golden Mantle Vases in Empire Style Made Circa 1840
$1,600.00We are pleased to offer this pair of golden Paris Porcelain mantle vases made in the Empire style, circa 1840. The gilding on these vases is dazzling. The delicate band of flowers and the matte handles emphasize the mirror-like quality of the gold. Gilding used gold as pigment in paint: the artist ground the gold into a fine powder and mixed it with a binder. Then the gold was applied in the same way as paint. After gold-painting, the artist would heat the piece enough to melt the gold slightly, ensuring an even coat.
Dimensions: 12.25 inches tall x 6 inches across x 3.25 inches deep
Condition: Excellent
