Pottery : Antique : Majolica : Britain

 

This exquisite English majolica sugar bowl and lid was made by Brownhills Pottery Company of Tunstall, England sometime between 1872 and 1896. It features a Japanesque motif of bamboo, blossoms, and foliage glazed in shades of caramel, honey, pink, and blue-green, accented with black. All this on a delicately stippled rich cream ground. The bowl measures 5 ½” tall and 5” in diameter. It is clearly marked with Brownhill Pottery Company’s impressed B.P. Co. mark, which was in use between 1872 and 1896, after which Salt Brothers took over the firm. It is in good condition with its only issues being a tight hairline in the lid, an old repair to one handle, and some mild rub to the color at the rim. See the photos for details. This pattern can be seen in Marilyn Karmason & Joan Stacke’s reference book, Majolica: A Complete History and Illustrated Survey, on page 119. Shipping weight: 2 lb. 11 oz. (Location :C2)
