ANTIQUE PORCELAIN BOWLS: WEDGEWOOD, BELLEEK, ROCKINGHAM, ROYAL CROWN DERBY BOWLS

Monday, December 14th, 2009

ANTIQUE PORCELAIN BOWLS: WEDGEWOOD, BELLEEK, ROCKINGHAM, ROYAL CROWN DERBY BOWLS

In the eighteenth century, tea was drunk from antique bowls without handles, and at the end of the century, from cups. The only bowls from tea services represented on the following pages are slop bowls, used for emptying the dregs from one cup prior to a refill. This bowl is often confused with the sugar bowl or basin which should be of smaller size. When supplied with a cover, it becomes a sucrier. A single bowl from a service would have little value unless of superb quality. For prices and patterns, see the tea services section.
Large bowls are frequently one half of washing ewer and bowl sets made for masonic or other institutions but, in the first instance, they are infrequent in porcelain and, in the second, very uncommon in the teenth century. Bowls were also used for pot pourri and rose pet al s ind for fruit, although at table the tazza or fruit dish took over, see table wares and plates.
It is a useful, but by no means infallible, test to support a bowl by ils foot on one hand and ;ping’ it with a knuckle of the other to discover whether it is cracked. It should
ring true if perfect, produce a dull *donk if restored or a double ring if cracked. However, this is not an absolutely reliable test. A bowl which has had a semi-circular piece knocked from the rim can still ring and, if well restored, can still one to believe it is undamaged. Conversely, some of the moulded bowls from services of the first half of the century are of a very soft paste and sound dead even if perfect. As aiways, examine everything carefully before buying.
Bowls are among the most difficult of objects for a collector t display. Since the exterior usually bears most of the decoration, they have to be placed at, or above, eye level to be seen effectively.

Antique Copeland bowl c. 1870. Printed name.
A good centrepiece in turquoise and gilding, stylistically interesting and well moulded. It has the disadvantage of being Copeland, a neglected factory, except for the parian figures, and of being rather large, more suitable for use than pure decoration.

Wedgwood bowl. 1920. Printed vase and name.
A common little bowl of a not very high standard of printing. These dragon and butterfly subjects are often erroneously referred to as ‘Fairyland’, which they are not.

A rare bowl and cover with a fairyland subject. The printing of the gilding is not as sharp as it could be but the rarity of the piece will outweigh any slight production faults.

Wedgwood 1920s bowl. Printed vase and name.
Despite the lack of fairies this is a desirable bowl as fish are rare on these lustres. The background is mottled blue with the fish coloured and gilt.
Wedgwood 1920s Diameter: 16.5cm. Printed vase and name
Uncommon, as this bowl has a red-gold ground exterior with the fairies etc., in yellow-gold and tangerine enamel. The interior in blue on a pearl lustre ground. Although uncommon and generally expensive, this type is given to great fluctuations in price.

Antique Wedgwood bowl. 1930. Printed vase and name.
A gold lustre exterior with gilt and coral fairyland scenes, the whole rather ill-defined and weak but the interior with a pearl lustre ground and a good ‘art deco’ roundel and border.

Royal Worcester 1905 bowl. Printed crowned circle and date code.
A rather dreadful bowl with bad gilding and somewhat dirty-coloured autumn leaves and berries. Produced by any factory without the magic Worcester name, a similar bowl would be lucky to fetch only 1015.

Belleek bowl. 1870. Impressed name.
A masterpiece of clay latticework producing a basket and cover and further encrusted with flowers and crabstock handles, all under a shiny glaze. Very fragile and useless, the handles are uncomfortably rough and the flowers sharply moulded enough to lacerate oneself, but a decorative and interesting item.

Copeland and Garrett Gilt printed bowl.
A well decorated cup with Continental scenes within gilt scrolls on a turquoise ground. Originally part of a coffee service. The gilding tooled and of good quality, the scenes typical of the period and reflecting still ‘le Grand Tour interest.

Royal Crown Derby 1912. Printed crowned monogram and date code.
This table bell is not a common item and has the 1128 Imari pattern,the flowers in iron-red, blue, green and gilding.  Miniature about the same.

Antique Rockingham 1830-42 bowl. Griffin in puce.
A rare patch-box, the lid moulded in the shape of a butterfly and natural colours. The box in azure blue, edged in gilt.

Rockingham 1830-42. Printed griffin in puce
A miniature teapot with a rustic green handle and applied with coloured sprays of flowers. An uncommon object which with the magic Rockingham name and mark results in a high price, despite the almost inevitable nibbling of the flowers.

Royal Worcester possibly 1876. Printed with illegible code.
Good quality decoration in bright enamels and gilding; obvious, but adulterated Japanese influence. Typically underpriced. The type of teapot that would have stood on the tray

Royal Worcester Impressed crowned circle.
A double-walled cup and saucer, honeycomb pierced, enamelled and gilt and applied with turquoise beads. First exhibited at the 1851 exhibition by Chamberlain. A tea service of this pattern was given to Jenny Lind after her concert for the benefit of the Worcester workers. She refuse d it on the grounds that she could receive no payment for a charity performance. Probably the type of object that George Owen started on when he began at the factory.

Royal Worcester bowl late 19th century. Impressed crowned circle
A double-walled pierced teapot by George Owen but not signed, and with turquoise and white beading on coloured grounds and additional gilt details. Although of good quality, the
Lack of Owen’s signature makes ail the difference to the price.

Royal Worcester 1903. Printed crowned circle, date code
A poor photograph of a good box by George Owen. Although not signed, the piece bears ail the evidence of his hand, with crisp honeycomb piercing and good gilding. The feet are four masks and shields.

Royal Worcester 1919
Printed gilt mark and date code.
A very elaborate box and cover by George Owen and with his incised signature on the base. Despite the fact that the knop on this particular example had been broken off and stuck back, it fetched 650 in a sale in 1973. A perfect example would fetch nearer the upper limit given.

Royal Worcester Modern bowl and 1939 Jug Printed crowned circles and date codes.
Worcester miniatures are popular and less common than Royal Crown Derby, although, generally speaking, of a lower standard of production. The jug is by William Powell. An older thimble with a ied scene by a good artist.

Belleek 1870-1880. Printed symbol and name.
A good cache-pot with crisply modelled flowers at the mouth, the side with moulded prunus blossom. Several petals are missing from thi xample as is almost inevitable .

Minton 1850 . No mark.
A jardiniere with rather stiff exotic birds within gilt borders on the bleu-de-roi ground. Loosely based on an 18th century Sevres original. The attribution to Minton is founded on the style of bird painting which is known on marked examples from this factory.

Rockingham c. 1830-42. Printed griffin in puce.

A very rare pair of cache-pots attractively painted with panels of flowers. The rest of the body deep blue and gilt. Quite apart from the attractive painting of these cache-pots making them desirable, the factory made very few of them.

Royal Worcester 1899. Printed crowned circle, registration and date code.
A large cache-pot with well cast high relief green and brown lion masks and scrolls against the usual yellow/apricot ground. Size is of major importance in the price of jardinieres.

Royal Worcester 1903. Printed, crowned circle registration and date code.
A fine pair of cache-pots with apple-green rims and bases. The too small panels by Harry Davis, signed. Had the panels been larger they would fetch considerably more.

Belleek 1869 Impressed name, moulded registration.

A rare and early piece of Belleek, the lily buds and leaves tinted in pale colours.

Rockingham 1830-42. Printed griffin in puce
A superb painting of Wentworth House, seat of the Earl Fitzwilliam, the patron of the Rockingham factory, within a burnished gilt band and white floral encrustation. The association of the subject makes this a great deal more expensive than would be an unidentified church. Several sizes are known and with less interesting flower painting can range from 120-200.

Wedgwood 1920s dish with flared sides decorated on the interior with complex fairyland scenes.
A typical fairyland bowl with panels of brightly-coloured and gilt dream folk and landscapes, the borders with gilt pebbles on a black ground. It is vital to check very carefully for restoration on fairyland lustre as the complexity of the design means that re-painting is easy to hide. A bowl has corne to notice that had a triangular piece of the rim about the size of a lOp piece that had been restored but which still rang true when struck.

Wedgwood 1920s.
Although not a particularly exciting or brilliantly coloured bowl, this is unusual in that it has the designer’s, J. Makeig-Jones’s, monogram incorporated in the design, raising the price from about 250-350.

Wedgwood 1920 bowl. Printed vase and name.
A rare Persian-influenced pattern of birds and animals in trees against I the Rhages pattern.

Royal Worcester 1905. Printed crowned circle and date code.
Typical of a lot of reasonable quality but boring mass-produced wares which could have been made by many factories around the turn of the century. This is a salad bowl which would originally have had electro-plated porcelain-handled servers with it.
