| Description: "A
super antique creamware coffee pot and cover beautifully hand decorated
in purple monochrome with flowers in a basket and flower sprays
produced at the Melbourne
Pottery circa 1770. The distinctive colour and style of
decoration is characteristic of that found on some of the excellent
creamware pieces produced at the Melbourne
pottery near Derby. Attribution of creamware is however
always difficult and wonderful creamware pieces were also produced at
the Leeds Pottery, in Liverpool and at Wedgwood Staffordshire. This
highly original antique is an
antique pottery jewel: a rare piece worthy of a museum collection and
not to be missed
by the serious and knowledgeable antique pottery collector." Antiques

report:
There are several tiny flake chips/glaze grazes to
the edge of the spout and three tiny flake chips to the top rim edge of
the coffee pot body noticeable on close inspection. To the lid there is
a fine tight hairline that extends down from the finial and one small
glazed over chip (from firing) and some minor fritting/flake chips to
the inside flange rim. Some typical light rubbing wear to
onglaze decoration which overall is excellent for display. No
restoration. A beautiful choice example of finest antique English
pottery creamware. |
