ENGLISH BLUE & WHITE PEARLWARE LEEDS POTTERY OR STAFFORDSHIRE COFFEE POT LONG BRIDGE PATTERN C.1785-1810
English blue and white pearlware Leeds Pottery or Staffordshire Coffee Pot Long Bridge pattern c.1785-1810


"A rare late eighteenth century blue and white transfer printed English pearlware coffee pot and cover. It was most probably produced at the respected Leeds Pottery although Staffordshire attribution cannot be ruled out. Excellent clear transfer printed decoration of the Long Bridge pattern. This is one of the earliest confirmed Leeds patterns. Note the brown line rim to lid handle and spout imitating the popular blue and white Chinese export porcelains of the time. A good display piece and reference example for the knowledgeable collector with a good eye... " Antiques Expert Hamilton Bear.
 
 
References: Purchased as Leeds Pottery and this Long Bridge print version is closest to known marked examples by Leeds Pottery. If the item is Staffordshire then both Spode and Keeling are possible makers. 
Dimensions: height 240 mm max. width 95 mm max.
Marks: none.
Condition: In excellent display condition with no restoration. There is a fine tight hairline from the rim of the pot and a number of tiny chips to inside of pot rim edge and spout. Small spot on edge of lid where brown line rim has not adhered over kiln impurity. Small firing chip to base footrim caused by removal of kiln furniture. Overall this is a very good example.
