English Delft Blue and White Punch Bowl Fluted Circa 1715
$4,200.00“Only the best” was the guiding principle of Syd Leventhal as he assembled the Longridge Collection, one of the most important collections of early English pottery ever formed.
This blue and white London delftware punch bowl, circa 1715, closely matches in form and painted scheme item D309 illustrated on page 341 of The Longridge Collection of English Slipware and Delftware by Leslie B. Grigsby.
Its close correspondence to the Longridge example anchors the bowl firmly within a documented and highly regarded group of circa 1715 London production, elevating it beyond typical unrecorded Delftware.
For collectors of early English Delftware, documented comparability to the Longridge Collection carries particular weight, placing this bowl within a small and historically significant body of surviving work from the formative years of London tin-glaze production.
Sculptural fluted punch bowls from the second decade of the eighteenth century are scarce survivals, and few combine this scale, confident brushwork, and documented comparability.
The bowl is molded with rounded flutes that rise to a scalloped rim edged in dark cobalt blue.
The broad surfaces of the flutes catch and release light, while the dark blue edge crisply defines the form’s silhouette.
The cobalt ranges from dense, inky passages in the rim border and leaf outlines to pale translucent washes across the petals.
The contrast between saturated and diluted blue gives the decoration depth and sharpens the definition of each leaf and petal.
The sculptural modeling and expert hand painting combine to create a bowl of remarkable beauty.Dimensions: 11.75″ diameter x 6.85″ tall x 5″ diameter acrosss the base
Condition: Good. Surface glaze imperfections and small frits consistent with age. Some glaze pops invisibly restored.
Decoration: Hand-painted in cobalt blue, with exterior floral sprigs within molded flutes, a bird and foliage in the well, and a scrolling leafy border at the rim.
Material: Tin-glazed earthenware (English delftware).

Large English Delft Blue and White Punch Bowl Liverpool Circa 1760
$2,600.00This large English Delft punch bowl was hand painted in Liverpool around 1760. At thirteen inches in diameter, it combines substantial scale with notable lightness in both its thin potting and the clear tone of its cobalt blue.
The blue fires in a light, fresh shade that complements the delicacy of the bird-and-flower design on the exterior and the restrained floral sprigs within. A lively songbird moves through flowering sprays beneath a structured diaper border at the rim. The outlines are firm, the washes controlled, and the brushwork remains visible.
The cobalt stays light rather than dark or inky, allowing the decoration to read clearly across the broad surface. The glaze has a cool white cast with slight bluish translucency and an even surface with only mild pooling. That clarity supports the painting and sharpens the blue.
The foot ring is neatly cut and proportioned, reinforcing the sense of careful workshop finish. Inside, a single budding flower in the well and delicate leafy sprigs below the rim reflect the traditional restraint of Liverpool punch bowls of this period.
Scale, lightness, and controlled painting define the strongest English Delft. This bowl brings those qualities together with clarity and balance.
Dimensions: 13 inches diameter x 6.5 inches tall
Condition: Excellent with a small glaze skip in the well and very small edge frits invisibly restored
Decoration: Hand-painted in soft cobalt blue with bird and flower sprays and diaper border
Material: Tin-glazed earthenware

Antique English Creamware Reticulated Basket, England Circa 1790
$730.00This English creamware basket was made circa 1790 and stands out for its exceptional quality.
Thirty-six handmade openwork bands rise from the solid base, interlacing at the rim in an elegant rhythm of light and form.

The glaze is pale, soft, and luminous, and the walls rise higher and more steeply than is typical, lending the piece a sense of sculptural presence.
The proportions are generous, and the workmanship—particularly the precision of the pierced structure—is unusually fine.
Baskets of this intricacy were among the most time-consuming forms to produce in creamware.
