    Antique Porcelain Jardinieres and Cabinet Objects

    The jardiniere is a bowl, usually with a flat base, in which to grow plants indoors, whereas a cache-pot is of a more fixed being a tapering cylinder in which to hide the common or garden earthenware flowerpot. TTiis enables one to have a succession of flowering plants ail the year round in the same decorative container. Both are found with stands.
    A bowl, usually oval, with a wavy rim was either a glass cooler or has 1 its form from one. The set of glasses was inverted in the bowl of later, the stems resting in the notches, to chill before drinking k or other white wines. These are now more usually found described as jardinieres.

    Moore 1868-1875.
    A well cast jardiniere with lilies against a turquoise ground, the neck with black and gilt key-fret. Much better quality than most of Moore’s production which tends to be left uncoloured, exposing a finely crackled creamy glaze. This example bears the retailer’s mark of Thomas Goode which may account for the higher standard.

    Swansea c 1820.
    Although unmarked, the form, without the feet, is known. The decoration is loosely based on a Chinese original and is in a famille-rose palette.

    Royal Worcester 1901.
    Another large cache-pot, printed and coloured with flowers on a yellowish ground, the shoulders with lightly moulded panels of masks and scrolls slightly gilt. A similar example entirely hand-painted with flowers would be 150-200 and with scenes by H. Stinton.

    Pseudo Sevres interlaced of a good pair of ormolu-mounted jardinieres, the bowl after Sevres original with well painted flowers reserved on a gilt-pebbled, sky-blue ground. There has been much inconclusive discussion on the factory(s) that produced this imitation Sevres.  At one time it was ought to be original 18th century Sevres porcelain decorated in this country, though this now seems unlikely; certainly a great deal of old evres was redecorated in France. Otherwise it can be attributed tadeley, Minton, Coalport or several other possibilites, ail of which made similar pastes.

    Samuel Alcock and Co.
    Rare pair of busts of George IV and the Duke of Yo uncoloured and unglazed, but the plinths glazed and with matt gilt lin Busts of this quality at this date are not frequently met with and ai mainly collected by the devotees of portrait and commemorative wares. These would appeal also to those interested in ceramic history as they were recalled shortly after issue for ‘the infringement of certain rights’.

    John Bevington 1872-92: Painted in underglaze blue.
    of the smaller factories that in the second half of the 19th century in good copies of other, earlier products, these being afi ruinais The figures well-modelled and coloured, and with gilt.
    1899 Height llins:28cm. Printed globes and date code
    A late flowering of the Japanese taste in the form of two vases attended by geishas, all in pale enamels and gilding. The standard of production is high and the subject is mildly amusing but Brownfield is not a highly ited or collected factory, although they were much praised in the Art tournais of the time.
    This section includes ail the small pieces, usually of exceptional quality, which were never intended for use. It also includes items such as cups and saucers from services or
    small vases and figures which have since become typical cabinet objects. The Derby miniatures are examples. There are devoted collectors of the small and the fine who are prepared to pay over the odds for good examples, and priees in this section may appear on the high side. It is arguable that many other pieces in the rest of the book could fall into this category and time will no doubt increase the numbers.

    Chamberlain & Co. c.1820
    A good cup and saucer with a salmon ground enclosing scenes of Ullswater Lake and Tonbridge Castle, probably by Thomas Baxter.
    Rubbed gildingwould reduce the price to 40-80.

    Royal Crown Derby C.1910-C.1920.
    Great changes have been wrought in people’s collecting habits by their housing habits. Since the end of the first world war increasing numbers of people have taken to living in small flats and houses, restricting the space devotable to a collection. This has led to a miniaturization of taste and objects such as pot-lids, snuff bottles, hat pins, Goss porcelain have become very popular. The Derby Imari miniatures are now very collectable and becoming more expensive. Examples: scuttle; saucepan; caddy; casserole; jug; coffee-pot; teapot; milk churn; iron and stand; watering-can.

    G. Grainger & Co. c 1840
    An uncommon biscuit porcelain bower, being decked with glazed and coloured flowers by cupids. Because of the delicate nature of the encrustation obviously difficult to find in good State. With a few leaves damaged 150-200, more damaged 80.

    Rockingham 1830-42.
    Printed griffin in puce.

    An example of a bottle with well executed relief flowers, and made in other sizes and shapes.

    Swansea early 19th Century.
    A very rare cabinet cup painted by Thomas Baxter with a named view of Beaufort Cottage which was next to a Quaker meeting house. Despite damage and restoration to the scroll handle and the.naive (bad) painting of the scene, this is a very desirable cup because of its factory and association value.

    Royal Worcester 1878 Diameter of saucer.
    A Japanese taste cup and saucer probably not made as a cabinet item but now rarely found in services. The handle as a chocolate and gilt dragon.

    Royal Worcester 1881/2. Elaborate printed mark including crowned circle and registration exceptionally rare teapot poking fun at the Aesthetic movemei and based on costumes from the Gilbert and Sullivan opera Patience. The cover in the form of two heads, one female, one male. The pot h unusually thinly cast and is of a high technical standard, the delicacy oi the whole probably contributive to its scarcity. A badly damage< example sold in 1973 for 230.

    Royal Worcester 1890.
    A well-pierced vase by George Owen but lacking his signature. Had been incised on the base, 250-300.

    Royal Worcester 1907. Printed crowned circle, date code.
    A rare pierced slipper by George Owen and signed on the base, the cutting is exceptionally sharp and the gilding, composed of minute dots, very fine. An ideal cabinet object.

    Royal Worcester 1924 Printed crowned circle and date code
    A good pierced cup and saucer by George Owen, the double-walled cup with his incised signature. The gilding, as always on Owen pieces, of good quality. A box and coyer with piercing similar to Owen’s work has been seen with a printed gilt signature but the authenticity of the piece is open to some doubt.
