Alcock majolica has a distinctive look with its limited palette of brightly colored glazes, but unlike the decorated porcelain and earthenware produced during the pottery’s lifetime little has been written about their majolica work.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr2QmWcXMjkiEfrMujINdl3gMpHdiY6PJ0B4oL5hUY7V7yV7OCbWX77aPPv36DELNFuwoR6vAAMMgiiQgSHUsDg2SXAynS1TAfK-KrhOMtkKGyF7qumUP__mXApZm2uIrZG5ocLXBndfgHTqO1PX2jC9jCdae2rYsxW4OUdsazPoaGI4xs4f_jXBr3XCw/s905/AlcockDessertStand.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="812" data-original-width="905" height="359" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr2QmWcXMjkiEfrMujINdl3gMpHdiY6PJ0B4oL5hUY7V7yV7OCbWX77aPPv36DELNFuwoR6vAAMMgiiQgSHUsDg2SXAynS1TAfK-KrhOMtkKGyF7qumUP__mXApZm2uIrZG5ocLXBndfgHTqO1PX2jC9jCdae2rYsxW4OUdsazPoaGI4xs4f_jXBr3XCw/w400-h359/AlcockDessertStand.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Samuel Alcock majolica platter</span></div><p>Samuel Alcock was born into a rural farm family in Kingsley, Staffordshire England in 1799, the child of Thomas Alcock and Katherine Locker. On June 21, 1823 he met and married Elizabeth Haslehurst (1800-1879) who would, in later years, take a prominent position in his pottery business. Like <a href="https://etruscanmajolica.blogspot.com/2022/02/the-majolica-of-james-eliza-wardle.html" target="_blank">Eliza Wardle</a> after her, Elizabeth Alcock would become one of the unrecognized female innovators of Victorian majolica.</p><p>At the age of twenty-five Samuel joined the firm of Stevenson & Williams in Cobridge, operated by the two Stevenson brothers, Ralph and Andrew, and Augustus Williams. Within the year the firm changed its name to Stevenson, Alcock & Williams. By 1826 the partnership fractured with Andrew Stevenson and Augustus Williams leaving the business and Ralph Stevenson partnering with Alcock at the new firm of Samuel Alcock & Co.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYSk2VEQSCN8WOgO5eq6yzn05jynhSg_7TmZmwup7ZO7dK81PJjKDpzzNvhvkGWJzawzkLrzEJ3JHmg_SFETjsFXqUgF-JFUlHOoR0KLieqfcXR3dFtECb1kqTWi09LbltxGWslymH5-Ya7HJAYiyf3WMcAmhRmP_8vkPlPXV4cT2GMCyYm3-pUh9vOQs/s1117/AlcockNotice1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="648" data-original-width="1117" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYSk2VEQSCN8WOgO5eq6yzn05jynhSg_7TmZmwup7ZO7dK81PJjKDpzzNvhvkGWJzawzkLrzEJ3JHmg_SFETjsFXqUgF-JFUlHOoR0KLieqfcXR3dFtECb1kqTWi09LbltxGWslymH5-Ya7HJAYiyf3WMcAmhRmP_8vkPlPXV4cT2GMCyYm3-pUh9vOQs/w400-h233/AlcockNotice1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;"><i>London Gazette,</i> 1st May 1827</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQnnv5ElI9kPVflgOEkar5vXittzWut8Qy4W7wiue7_RuhpGp5BpcijfcsQdcKC6-LbiYs_AL7R2zwBn1lZh1In1PMm6TYduFwMSpQmM-m80CX8WZPsJvxLfWZb-Dmzcu9xoL4sUqOPLtaKydXQSxYDmk-nhQ0MQBcp8TgbWK2SbWIatYsUCIJ5AhvgA0/s1313/AlcockIncorporation.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="648" data-original-width="1313" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQnnv5ElI9kPVflgOEkar5vXittzWut8Qy4W7wiue7_RuhpGp5BpcijfcsQdcKC6-LbiYs_AL7R2zwBn1lZh1In1PMm6TYduFwMSpQmM-m80CX8WZPsJvxLfWZb-Dmzcu9xoL4sUqOPLtaKydXQSxYDmk-nhQ0MQBcp8TgbWK2SbWIatYsUCIJ5AhvgA0/w400-h198/AlcockIncorporation.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;"> <i>London Gazette</i>, 16th August 1831</span></div><p>Alcock & Co. proved wildly successful.

It was after Samuel Alcock Sr.’s death that the company began production of majolica. </p><p>A new style of pottery just introduced by Minton in 1851, it is not known precisely when Elizabeth Alcock brought her company into the majolica market. Marketed as ROYAL PALISSY, the company made a limited line of designs in the new Minton majolica style, many in imitation of Minton’s Palissy designs.*</p><p>Probably the most famous of Alcock's majolica pieces is the Palissy inspired frog and snake pitcher below.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The following year the Top Hill pottery was taken over by Sir Jame Duke & Nephews. James Duke is known to have also potted majolica, displaying both majolica and Palissy ware at the 1862 London Exhibition. It is likely they continued using the Alcock molds. Some pieces of Alcock style majolica from these molds may possibly be attributable to them but since Sir James Duke & Nephews didn’t mark their work there’s no way of knowing. Duke & Nephews remained in business for three years before closing in 1863.</div><div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9ArEQOic4dtrTcdegLo5ZgBPSneyVAwM_ZKLTcUcTnaFuP-TEJZs1uUwNMpTY0lYpO6D92wJbyCibk23DXeXeSo6W1gbnPRR1JK3shkHZUhgkJL9VQuB87CgHYrU516pSDLjZIbqOLoVP5ZPk17bNtPrHgw3sf9-5gkXaOLsnF5YGs8N2Kgiv54ozICY/s751/bankruptcy%20notice.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="682" data-original-width="751" height="364" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9ArEQOic4dtrTcdegLo5ZgBPSneyVAwM_ZKLTcUcTnaFuP-TEJZs1uUwNMpTY0lYpO6D92wJbyCibk23DXeXeSo6W1gbnPRR1JK3shkHZUhgkJL9VQuB87CgHYrU516pSDLjZIbqOLoVP5ZPk17bNtPrHgw3sf9-5gkXaOLsnF5YGs8N2Kgiv54ozICY/w400-h364/bankruptcy%20notice.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">S.A.&Co. bankruptcy notice, the <i>London Gazette</i>, October 14, 1859</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRxv-xOfXDb1aLOjnmQJiTcZrk3tWsIt-Z4jlUJcbgxPM7byvWjhUVl3eAc1XoplSiJjncqkxrdUoLY-B40aUApnx7No7a_DjaXwxh730vwna1UE7aQoEbfNXysq-hJ3Ti8zTWFue1S9_r14mYG_FW2pIc7B26ABSuaOr-mfoPzuaBu8Px9FdheQQDDrw/s1760/IMG_5899.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="460" data-original-width="1760" height="105" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRxv-xOfXDb1aLOjnmQJiTcZrk3tWsIt-Z4jlUJcbgxPM7byvWjhUVl3eAc1XoplSiJjncqkxrdUoLY-B40aUApnx7No7a_DjaXwxh730vwna1UE7aQoEbfNXysq-hJ3Ti8zTWFue1S9_r14mYG_FW2pIc7B26ABSuaOr-mfoPzuaBu8Px9FdheQQDDrw/w400-h105/IMG_5899.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="color: #ffa400;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">A contemporary description of Sir Duke’s exhibit at the 1862 London Exhibition</span><br /></span></div><div><div><br /></div><div>Alcock’s majolica line is small and not always marked but, as stated earlier, the Alcock majolica style is unmistakable.

More than most other factors these will determine the price of a piece. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">To these we can add a fourth C–collectibility. Collectibility in not necessarily determined by rarity, though it sometimes is, but more on desirability. With many very rare antiques the price factor doesn't really come into play because there is little demand for them. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">For more on desirability go <a href="https://etruscanmajolica.blogspot.com/2011/09/rare-or-desirable.html" target="_blank">here</a>. for more on the importance of color go <a href="https://etruscanmajolica.blogspot.com/2010/08/the-pricecolor-equilibrium.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p dir="rtl" style="text-align: left;"><b style="color: red;">Price Guides</b></p><p>The most obvious way to find out the value of an item is through a printed price guide. Many books on antiques specialize in assigning values to particular items, however there are many limitations to printed guides like this. The market for antiques is constantly fluctuating. Reruns of the PBS show <i>Antiques Roadshow</i> illustrate a good example of this. Old episodes feature adjusted values at the conclusion of appraisals to allow for how the market has changed in the years between the original airing and a more recent appraisal. Intangibles like fad, desirability and the stock market can all affect the prices of antiques.

Appraisers frequently inflate the value of an item for the sake of drama. Whenever you see an appraiser offer an insurance value of an item it is often <u>double</u> the actual sale value of a piece. This is because insurance values are based on replacing an irreplaceable item retail, which is generally a 100% markup over its sale value.

This method of pricing your item is more dependable than the printed guide because it gives a good indication of more current values than a printed price guide, but there are built in limitations to this as well. Dealers of antiques have varying levels of experience in evaluating the price of any particular item. If the dealer you are consulting has only a general knowledge of antiques, their expertise in a particular field is likely limited. They may well price an item based on a price guide they bought five years ago or something similar they owned ten years ago. No one can know everything, so they do their best based on their own resources and experience. Unless you are dealing with a dealer who specializes in a particular field you are likely to get an undependable price.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSHtFmpAf0_goZQGFweZwgaJbYxv9X7iutNAE9W6WOaX_90mQgKM0b-z8g3T5qUQMKwT7c1YsD5vO0bS2hI1OazaBf79oH5RuzS_a_P9uDJhbfJUViSf37xKo855nrbiWUJ-6wZJhymlfL0Hr9VA_XOViMdij8ENA0YW0v1kCAHJezwgyuGQF35MPhQq4/s4272/Antique%20Show.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2848" data-original-width="4272" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSHtFmpAf0_goZQGFweZwgaJbYxv9X7iutNAE9W6WOaX_90mQgKM0b-z8g3T5qUQMKwT7c1YsD5vO0bS2hI1OazaBf79oH5RuzS_a_P9uDJhbfJUViSf37xKo855nrbiWUJ-6wZJhymlfL0Hr9VA_XOViMdij8ENA0YW0v1kCAHJezwgyuGQF35MPhQq4/w400-h266/Antique%20Show.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglMjPCmvASqH3ncczJgJhDBBmUijcnpejCD_MsFbjIS1XpL5kp7R0t6o9cuVIH7U6Q7c-Ttu-_ol69uv2GRpFjrWHioMz_Lx_AgcgSwfO1zG7XdFTziMyRHJtaVTbSpe0sY7LhcG3OCodC60zRDqjqC_GaA_Z3sW6A1eYXMJJKga6liER1rWg3AQikg9E/s3916/Antique%20Show%20Booth.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2713" data-original-width="3916" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglMjPCmvASqH3ncczJgJhDBBmUijcnpejCD_MsFbjIS1XpL5kp7R0t6o9cuVIH7U6Q7c-Ttu-_ol69uv2GRpFjrWHioMz_Lx_AgcgSwfO1zG7XdFTziMyRHJtaVTbSpe0sY7LhcG3OCodC60zRDqjqC_GaA_Z3sW6A1eYXMJJKga6liER1rWg3AQikg9E/w400-h278/Antique%20Show%20Booth.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p><span style="color: red;"><b>Collectors and Specialty Dealers</b></span></p><p>Collectors and dealers of particular fields of antiques are usually quite attuned to the market value of the items they buy and sell.

International premium auction houses like Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Doyle can usually command prices far above what the general value may be of a particular item.

It has alternately been called repulsive, divisive, brilliant, perverse and a horror movie. What it is, is a movie that is more or less a black comedy—an editorial on class warfare as well as a movie about obsession, rejection, evil and greed lightly cloaked in a shimmering gown of gorgeous cinematography. One thing is certain—every frame is carefully arranged for maximum effectiveness. In fact, the beauty of the film’s look, the surroundings and of its actors is really something of a mask for the ugliness of the story underneath.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqn9ju65zHJHSkItj8cQpl91FEYi_oOyzN33MDnSPVH94Ev3yjugtKB8yYM1tBNTQ9mksLJMyMO8-SfScdPE3sAa9m8FRdn1jISIxoBS1Egvx6yTArg45JIvkIp9jSLfPhm7s6_Zmvypk-Fi1FPW39fqkc0qhEmbnpHoZp72qyzmEfLw1HaFvljbUNG54/s1228/IMG_5465.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em;

The magic in London that summer of 1851 was tangible. There was national pride, amazement, good fellowship and pure joy. The interior decoration of the Crystal Palace was under the supervision of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_Jones_(architect)" target="_blank">Owen Jones</a>, an expert in Byzantine architecture and color. The metal framework was painted pale blue and trimmed in yellow. The girders were painted bright red.

I’ve written about genuine Victorian majolica frogs <a href="https://etruscanmajolica.blogspot.com/2012/03/frogs-frogs-frogs.html" target="_blank">before</a> in this blog but have never addressed the ENORMOUS number of modern majolica style creations that exist. The vast majority of these modern frog pieces are not copies of Victorian designs. They are contemporary creations done in a majolica style or “faux majolica.” Most of these are created by manufacturers, overwhelmingly from Asia, who try to capitalize on the popularity of Victorian frog majolica, often with an Asian aesthetic like the bowl below. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIt3qL1RYU4erSaAdTuzFqTos6KTzEQxCXKUWUTYuYvHr1A6d8R30ShlJ6UKp6drYVkJ6959h6VRWSiKEfxMzwS74pfPuJ9TWbu8xGWdZ1MjynP0bsro1uHkHopZ8MXj3o5DK0pU19hKfocjhaeQl_JuJ3Eik86JFHaK_c3uJFlshqyKoeg5NKA02V21s/s2348/LgFrogBowl.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1256" data-original-width="2348" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIt3qL1RYU4erSaAdTuzFqTos6KTzEQxCXKUWUTYuYvHr1A6d8R30ShlJ6UKp6drYVkJ6959h6VRWSiKEfxMzwS74pfPuJ9TWbu8xGWdZ1MjynP0bsro1uHkHopZ8MXj3o5DK0pU19hKfocjhaeQl_JuJ3Eik86JFHaK_c3uJFlshqyKoeg5NKA02V21s/w400-h215/LgFrogBowl.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Modern Asian faux Victorian bowl</span></div><p>I have no problem with the manufacture of these pieces themselves. The problems arise when the paper labels that these pieces bear for import into the United States are removed for sale on the secondary market. These faux Victorian, or as they are usually advertised <b><i>vintage</i></b> pieces, are passed off by ignorant or disreputable dealers as being antique. The online auction site <a href="https://www.ebay.com" target="_blank">eBay</a> is saturated with these <i><b>vintage</b></i> pieces as are auction houses. I get far more questions about these modern pieces than anything else, so I’ve decided to address some of these contemporary frog pieces in a special post.</p><p>The easiest way to detect these modern pieces that are being sold as antique is by the glaze. Victorian majolica is clear, transparent, shiny and iridescent. It is always a realistic representation of things in nature. Modern majolica is none of these things. It is generally cloudy or opaque and semi glossy. They often have unglazed areas incorporated into the design and designs are often cartoonish. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe1hs16bNiTBOlk7F-zAWPIxNe_rcpsXDfK_DRiqznvh4H3onBlJJQuPIVc94c-aO1URmACF1NJGRSrsMghYAd6aAB9XvU0AbFQJrOFfhTXpduFyK3nJqoqu0-aBgzptzmdSOO_B88LByt88-DU0q7LxoPbXJhz0FZQAJRgGPgJvOuCkpkR3ZrgdTWT-A/s1055/ModernFrog.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="792" data-original-width="1055" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe1hs16bNiTBOlk7F-zAWPIxNe_rcpsXDfK_DRiqznvh4H3onBlJJQuPIVc94c-aO1URmACF1NJGRSrsMghYAd6aAB9XvU0AbFQJrOFfhTXpduFyK3nJqoqu0-aBgzptzmdSOO_B88LByt88-DU0q7LxoPbXJhz0FZQAJRgGPgJvOuCkpkR3ZrgdTWT-A/w400-h300/ModernFrog.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Modern Asian fromg stand</span></div><p>Modern pieces can be seen with two levels of craftsmanship: some well glazed; some sloppily made with glazes running into each other so badly you can’t tell one part of the design from the next. You would never see that in Victorian majolica. Even the most carelessly glazed Victorian pieces don’t have the kind of poor craftsmanship seen in modern pieces. The best way to illustrate my point is by showing some examples. I have included reproductions of Victorian designs here as well. They are identified as such.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLitF2UyVmmZctDiI66d46kZ3U4KGIWkjbe0_JKlPw8EmzglTF-NQ0HGoPHH9vzK3oS6n44f5cSKA02qIbVjIhWipgAqpS8ubtVsNGZXPDUXw8fgVpAE-Wt7BnrxrWCP2N9xXiyjn2u3IWWoOddyaF6-Q3roL5orYmcGL9uC6QD95pnBNRgFdIrZVnyXg/s2046/Frog%20bowl2.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

For frog collectors who aren't looking for antiques they are very nice additions to a frog collection, but as antiques they are a complete fail. </p><p>I would give one word of advice on those who may be interested in purchasing these modern pieces. Almost all of them sell new at wholesale for under $10. They are imported from Asia by the thousands. I would suggest shopping around before buying for the best price. If you are an antiques collector however, pass them by.</p>Jimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05027786373775510140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841336701239728405.post-79047116776125333632023-12-07T21:49:00.000-08:002024-01-07T11:39:34.158-08:00Majolica in the Movies: On Borrowed Time (1939)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsFWPpHrvNRFzPgB9vFJEvW-Jbbnnj2V0l4JJZjEgK3C0nbmS9SKb-EHqDqAHAKrp4CdQiXbbALe2gYTz7X49F_oKqwTai9pH7uzWZXH6H7cCaqOtORt326M9WDMSeAXTyEJ-BaFcf85afTD1tB6WMT1KFCf0n1fv9YrJJnUd1c369EUuaVEJyeqqNKPU/s2812/OnBorrowedTimePoster.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2812" data-original-width="2091" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsFWPpHrvNRFzPgB9vFJEvW-Jbbnnj2V0l4JJZjEgK3C0nbmS9SKb-EHqDqAHAKrp4CdQiXbbALe2gYTz7X49F_oKqwTai9pH7uzWZXH6H7cCaqOtORt326M9WDMSeAXTyEJ-BaFcf85afTD1tB6WMT1KFCf0n1fv9YrJJnUd1c369EUuaVEJyeqqNKPU/w299-h400/OnBorrowedTimePoster.png" width="299" /></a></div><p></p><p><b><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031754/" target="_blank">On Borrowed Time</a></b> is a fantasy film about an old man trying to delay Death from taking him away from his family. The movie is another from the greatest of movie studios MGM made during what is arguably the finest year of the golden age of film studios, 1939. The old man is played by Lionel Barrymore of the great acting Barrymore dynasty. The personification of Death is played by Sir Cedric Hardwicke.</p><p>Originally a novel by Lawrence Watkin which was later turned into a successful Broadway play by Paul Osborn the story is a reimagining of one of Chaucer’s <i>Canterbury Tales</i>, “The Pardoner’s Tale.”</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOkKAfmHqMC4k0Bu1dFAA9dlNugjqdvEcKlpl_2dPepSHfes5E35MMF2Ev0nRYyHn2_CkPiaTlojnWOwcYb3v7a_ZrrbgcvXqNDmFcmAfQafwY0-PgabOi2E_0O12jZWuyCgpxrvk9BbMTuy26PhziM4LXSbvIbhFV5PEyT8xWBjeBuzSM4mBDC8mT4x0/s2406/IMG_5173.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2406" data-original-width="1617" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOkKAfmHqMC4k0Bu1dFAA9dlNugjqdvEcKlpl_2dPepSHfes5E35MMF2Ev0nRYyHn2_CkPiaTlojnWOwcYb3v7a_ZrrbgcvXqNDmFcmAfQafwY0-PgabOi2E_0O12jZWuyCgpxrvk9BbMTuy26PhziM4LXSbvIbhFV5PEyT8xWBjeBuzSM4mBDC8mT4x0/w269-h400/IMG_5173.jpeg" width="269" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;"><i>On Borrowed Time </i>novel</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwgyLDqPeiumCAuTlANzx9MHqHhzWg9cBCfx4jKtuYZt2OKdH3Vvu-xgYlVMPt918VcKqnclgPCxBhRbgQjRW9y7sL8du-MVTmSeDzvWYx-ztu5IQjOCEcW84ltHJgTskw2O758-tCJJ6x3ngankIUIy5RR8BvKasVL0M24UjnnivUEPRD3-rcCa16UD8/s1000/IMG_5165.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="716" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwgyLDqPeiumCAuTlANzx9MHqHhzWg9cBCfx4jKtuYZt2OKdH3Vvu-xgYlVMPt918VcKqnclgPCxBhRbgQjRW9y7sL8du-MVTmSeDzvWYx-ztu5IQjOCEcW84ltHJgTskw2O758-tCJJ6x3ngankIUIy5RR8BvKasVL0M24UjnnivUEPRD3-rcCa16UD8/w286-h400/IMG_5165.jpeg" width="286" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;"><i>Playbill</i> page from the original 1938 Broadway </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">production of <i>On Borrowed Time</i></span></div><p>The plot is unusual. The old man and his wife are the caretakers of their grandson whose parents have died. The man is approached early in the film by a stranger representing Death, here called Mr. Brink, who asks him to follow him, giving no more explanation than that. The Barrymore character suspects the true motive of the stranger and succeeds in trapping him inside a magical apple tree rendering him powerless.

The set decorators at MGM certainly must have loved these plates to use them again and again. Still, I was a little surprised to see them in such a refined setting. They had previously appeared in movies with more rustic backgrounds. </p><p>No question though that’s always a fun surprise to spot these pieces in the background of movies from so long ago.</p><p>The film is available to see on both disc and streaming platforms.

He fled Philadelphia to avoid creditors after the failure of his company and settled in New Jersey where he established the Eureka pottery with money from his wife’s family. His pottery experience was peripheral, having dabbled in the business around Philadelphia for several years. Eureka was a small, single kiln operation. Unfortunately, Weil’s lack of experience in the trade forced him into bankruptcy after only one year, closing his business in February 1884.</p><p>After the failure of Weil's investment, the pottery reverted to property owner Thomas Whitehead from whom the property was leased, who offered the pottery to Noah Bock and Charles Bock. They continued use of the Eureka site and name, expanding to a larger site nearby they renamed the Eureka Porcelain Works, potting earthenware and porcelain. There is no indication that they continued production of majolica but the possibility exists. The Bocks operated the pottery only until 1887 when it was closed by a devastating fire. It was succeeded by Pope & Lee’s Pottery in that location.</p><p>The Eureka Pottery’s majolica production was small and short lived. Several of the designs were copies of European designs while some others were clearly inspired by English predecessors, but they did make a few original designs, and the surviving marked wares confirm their high quality. </p><p>Two designs were direct copies of <a href="https://etruscanmajolica.blogspot.com/2023/01/the-majolica-of-shorter-boulton.html" target="_blank">Shorter & Boulton</a> originals.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Symbolic with prosperity from ancient times the grape and its fermented juice had its own gods. In ancient Egypt it was Shezmu. In ancient Greece it was Dionysus with its Roman counterpoint Bacchus, often in the company of a goat. In Chinese mythology it is Yidi and in India it is Varuni and Shiva. In the Christian religion fermented grape juice—wine—is a crucial component of the Eucharist. That gives the Judeo-Christian world a connection with the grape of rebirth and blessing.</p><p>The Spanish have a tradition of eating twelve grapes on New Year’s Eve at the stroke of midnight for good luck all year long.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguKJVpIDG1RcAkR1w_WnC0jTcjYU1EoaeE7qFZmTmWHJbpXOBkbrHKNHMD311z1hYE8uMbOkD85q0QWL9w_urLmDfwc3XukRS1U-A-c1k6UjN0KJEu7Ap-PfNFIDbPOV_f_sJJ0Ui3r-P1wLZqq5SOOvYQRBgKttwJfuO7sfx7sq9GshrtCuYYZcgENkE/s1095/NY%20grapes.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="845" data-original-width="1095" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguKJVpIDG1RcAkR1w_WnC0jTcjYU1EoaeE7qFZmTmWHJbpXOBkbrHKNHMD311z1hYE8uMbOkD85q0QWL9w_urLmDfwc3XukRS1U-A-c1k6UjN0KJEu7Ap-PfNFIDbPOV_f_sJJ0Ui3r-P1wLZqq5SOOvYQRBgKttwJfuO7sfx7sq9GshrtCuYYZcgENkE/w400-h309/NY%20grapes.png" width="400" /></a></div><p>The Victorians also celebrated the grape, to whom it represented friendship and hospitality. As such grape iconography was plentiful in Victorian culture and pottery. Majolica, of course was no exception with its abundance of Neo-classic iconography. Grape related items are found everywhere; from elaborate Minton centerpieces to humble Etruscan grape servers. Wine ewers, grapes, grape leaves and grape vines are pervasive, often associated with satyrs and fauns as well as with foxes, a reference to the “sour grapes” Aesop’s fable. </p><p>Let’s take a look at some representative pieces.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Growing up my favorite Greek food was stuffed grape leaves, dolmathes (Ντολμάδες). Most people are used to the soft greasy things that come ready made in a jar or can, but the real thing made fresh is nothing like that. If you have the ambition to try it you won’t regret it. Your guests will clammer for more. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Here’s the recipe:</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b style="caret-color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: medium;">STUFFED GRAPE LEAVES</span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1NdqXBkO0XiZgRFDHpdBaPZLb9Z0imKukFPyvWmPP7S9xgyuR6o0cl7OkflcycnsPR79ajdzRAen8MN9XX0gSwV8Eoj6keKK6v5sJnwitMG-R9QZK3QcHdyYGet_g6_EdHp4ZXGZrA5dyhyphenhyphenR0tG4RcXC94ZzVaa2nLC-xq9clZ8s7jydrgw_Q3DH6BXA/s2716/IMG_8791.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1873" data-original-width="2716" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1NdqXBkO0XiZgRFDHpdBaPZLb9Z0imKukFPyvWmPP7S9xgyuR6o0cl7OkflcycnsPR79ajdzRAen8MN9XX0gSwV8Eoj6keKK6v5sJnwitMG-R9QZK3QcHdyYGet_g6_EdHp4ZXGZrA5dyhyphenhyphenR0tG4RcXC94ZzVaa2nLC-xq9clZ8s7jydrgw_Q3DH6BXA/w400-h276/IMG_8791.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: red;">INGREDIENTS</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #ea9999;">STUFFING</span></b>:</p><p style="text-align: center;">3 T. olive oil</p><p style="text-align: center;">1 c. minced yellow onion</p><p style="text-align: center;">1 c. uncooked long grain rice</p><p style="text-align: center;">1 c. raw ground beef, or lamb 95% lean</p><p style="text-align: center;">3 T. fresh dill chopped</p><p style="text-align: center;">3 T. fresh parsley chopped</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Jar of Greek cured grape leaves</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #ea9999;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #ea9999;">MARINADE</span></b>:</p><p style="text-align: center;">Juice of 1 1/2 large lemons</p><p style="text-align: center;">1/2 c. olive oil</p><p style="text-align: center;">Pinch of salt</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: red;">DIRECTIONS</span></b> </p><p style="text-align: left;">1. <b>Make stuffing</b>: Add olive oil to skillet. Over medium fire, add the rest of the stuffing ingredients and keep stirring over medium fire until meat is cooked. (Rice will still be raw). Set aside to cool.</p><p style="text-align: left;">2. <b>Prepare leave</b>s: Unroll the grape leaves from the jar. Rinse each grape leaf. Trim off stems. Take a grape leaf and place flat, dull side up, with the pointed part away from you. Place an extra small leaf over the area where the stem was cut). Place about a Tbsp of stuffing in the shape of a tootsie roll on that extra small leaf. Fold sides over and roll up. Makes 30.</p><p style="text-align: left;">3. <b>Prepare pot to cook dolmathes</b>: You will need a heavy bottomed stock pot or dutch oven and a ceramic plate that fits inside the pot over the dolmathes while they cook. Line the bottom of the stock pot with about 10 rinsed off grape leaves. Add dolmathes on top of the leaves. Add one layer at a time. Pour marinade over the dolmathes evenly. Place a ceramic plate over the dolmathes to prevent them from moving. Pour water over until plate is almost submerged.</p><p style="text-align: left;">4. Bring to boil and lower heat, then allow to cook on low fire for 1 hour 10 mins. Watch the water, to avoid scorching the bottom. Most of the liquid should be evaporated at the end of cooking time. If it evaporates too fast you may need to add more water. When cool, you can remove the dolmathes. </p><p style="text-align: left;">They can be served warm or at room temperature, making them a perfect make-ahead appetizer. They can also be served with tzatziki, a dill flavored yogurt sauce.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;"><i><b>Note</b>: You can use fresh grape leaves from your own vines but these should be parboiled before using.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: xx-small;">Thanks to my niece @1000cravings for her photos.</span></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXPO3SXNhLnTymPnaJLyMofU9fORYT4BKTklEmkPE0fRba0_yhxiUGpBnTf0K5MLgfyqFg03Sl1zVd0FIedqASvA14kPLiba0bS_SJEwXW8sIBl2l7BnTRlQbd0nKwaw0ahrnriRPKCWnhwv4lgxhY6y9EH4JDuqDGrbe5LaYZOuPwjFxxjKxFVlJXUdU/s3236/GrapeLeaf.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3236" data-original-width="3042" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXPO3SXNhLnTymPnaJLyMofU9fORYT4BKTklEmkPE0fRba0_yhxiUGpBnTf0K5MLgfyqFg03Sl1zVd0FIedqASvA14kPLiba0bS_SJEwXW8sIBl2l7BnTRlQbd0nKwaw0ahrnriRPKCWnhwv4lgxhY6y9EH4JDuqDGrbe5LaYZOuPwjFxxjKxFVlJXUdU/s320/GrapeLeaf.PNG" width="301" /></a></div></div></div></div>Jimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05027786373775510140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841336701239728405.post-71213876175764397882023-10-30T07:46:00.034-07:002024-01-06T10:55:58.143-08:00Guidelines for Shipping Antiques: Avoiding Tragedy<p>One of the most heart breaking experiences in my 40+ years of buying antiques occurred 20 years ago when I purchased a rare Brown-Westhead Moore garden seat from a dealer in Great Britain. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt1RXeNG2bztEmmSVO94R3hGsW543yw-1ILERMHHXgTkzYZxAtNCz-EmFbvMkKa71Z0KjT5Hl1EIBw5ahda8CxJrROzamKtVSIr8XfjeyI1yKxekGd5H2Rn-ehc-VzZ_WGmUPJFL9iPfPQhz7GI6sIBzGV2kTnaa8qkcMH2G4oNbBdaKDqOkeESTgy_Bs/s1331/IMG_4722.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1331" data-original-width="792" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt1RXeNG2bztEmmSVO94R3hGsW543yw-1ILERMHHXgTkzYZxAtNCz-EmFbvMkKa71Z0KjT5Hl1EIBw5ahda8CxJrROzamKtVSIr8XfjeyI1yKxekGd5H2Rn-ehc-VzZ_WGmUPJFL9iPfPQhz7GI6sIBzGV2kTnaa8qkcMH2G4oNbBdaKDqOkeESTgy_Bs/w238-h400/IMG_4722.png" width="238" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Brown-Westhead Moore majolica sphinx garden seat</span></div></div><p>The piece arrived in a broken box re-taped by US Customs after the bottom had broken open during shipping. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik1Sc-u36BroKK107cS6_h7EUktIFgg8373WcDZXKxjdFC49f-y5BrDyWcZpJiwDJyKf4Hj9JmkXGh8saiYMazDPUq4D0G7N_XrVuP0YPxwagifoXuOmnJ8CVhtI0jAJRtRUUXM24dT4xA1n4ZXgkE0B4npeyOcH51j7jNw9xkT9CcrP384g5RgfbIOqk/s632/garden_seat_box1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="599" data-original-width="632" height="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik1Sc-u36BroKK107cS6_h7EUktIFgg8373WcDZXKxjdFC49f-y5BrDyWcZpJiwDJyKf4Hj9JmkXGh8saiYMazDPUq4D0G7N_XrVuP0YPxwagifoXuOmnJ8CVhtI0jAJRtRUUXM24dT4xA1n4ZXgkE0B4npeyOcH51j7jNw9xkT9CcrP384g5RgfbIOqk/w400-h379/garden_seat_box1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>The top of the seat was broken into pieces and the base was almost completely missing.

That would be around 35+ years. Some reproductions are excellent–difficult to distinguish from the antique originals. On the other hand there are those reproductions that are so incredibly bad that it's difficult to believe that anyone would be fooled by them. This post is about those reproductions.</p><p>Minton has always brought good prices in the antique market so it’s no surprise to see many fake pieces around. Sometimes these are marked MINTON in unusually large letters on the underside, something Minton NEVER did. The quality is uniformly horrendous.

Glazes are often dull or runny while modeling is usually so amateurish it's likely that the sculptor had never seen the real thing in person. Sections like interiors and undersides are often left unglazed. Some of these also show signs of artificial distress and crazing to give the impression of age. </p><p>Some of these reproductions are worse than others but they are all pretty terrible, certainly not worth the prices that some of them command on the antique market.

A reputable dealer will always give a refund on a piece falsely represented. Auctions are almost always final sales–buyer beware. Online these are usually listed as "vintage." That’s usually code for “brand new but meant to look like something old.” Occasionally they are listed as "mid-century" which is also absurd. There was no market for majolica reproductions in the 1950s-1960s. Most of these shown have been made in the past 10 years.</div><div><br /></div><div>A knowledgable buyer would never be fooled by these, but that isn't the target audience for these pieces. It's usually either the general market dealer whose understanding of majolica is limited or those in the general public who aren’t familiar with the original pieces.

In an attempt to revitalize sales of Mintons’ products Mintons art director Léon Victor Salon created a line of new inexpensive decorative wares building upon the company’s vast expertise with majolica glazes. With designer John W. Wadsworth the two created the Art Nouveau Secessionist style that was to prove vastly influential in the development of England’s contribution to the Jugendstil movement. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyUUBAfs5UsLH3yHVTrWjRk9-M6Nsxd6cMbBXHK-IinhH1o_XpHlvXcm_CTy0a-Rv8_2FV6ViMEbm8zpJN38YdizsNxFkBFxYSdBPfhvuckTLYDeIsACZw5DizUfhtzttUxUnyducRLSimpJtjPTJFhl9rLmfp_Gt9iH_gnjnA2YTcr5ypSbTv9w0j-2E/s2158/IMG_4258.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2158" data-original-width="1057" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyUUBAfs5UsLH3yHVTrWjRk9-M6Nsxd6cMbBXHK-IinhH1o_XpHlvXcm_CTy0a-Rv8_2FV6ViMEbm8zpJN38YdizsNxFkBFxYSdBPfhvuckTLYDeIsACZw5DizUfhtzttUxUnyducRLSimpJtjPTJFhl9rLmfp_Gt9iH_gnjnA2YTcr5ypSbTv9w0j-2E/w314-h640/IMG_4258.png" width="314" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Mintons Peacock vase </span></div><p>Originally introduced in the late 1890s under the name Anglosia Ware, the line began with the Léon Salon designed Peacock Vase. <i>Anglosia Ware</i> was designed as an affordable decorative line created to expand Mintons’ middle class market share.

The Secessionists were a rebellion against the ornamental excess of Victorian decorative sensibilities and the mechanization of society. With Art Nouveau gaining momentum throughout Europe during the late 1800s under the influence of designers like William Morris and Alphonse Mucha, it replaced Classicism and Revivalism as the style of the moment. The Secessionists took the Art Nouveau conceits one step further. As literary critic Hermann Bahr stated in the initial edition of the group journal <i>Ver Sacrum</i>, </p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">“Our art is not a combat of modern artists against those of the past, but the promotion of the arts against the peddlers who pose as artists and who have a commercial interest in not letting art bloom. The choice between commerce and art is the issue at stake in our Secession. It is not a debate over aesthetics, but a confrontation between two different spiritual states."</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik0LvnO6ReTeJTgDYw8UWUs167qHhQz5tLjLyL_w8UFz5BtWsopr3bOPLjAOi2QI5JoutVjhxrTNdsvK06hBu-r-VTOtUbyx8eTeniWIIfyiE5zCZP3mkDlThlJngtl_WmBpj92MqWre4n6JnpMChl73bHf8KGFxOTbhbqNllVKbwKMKBB0kHg38f9Ijg/s733/IMG_4280.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="733" data-original-width="720" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik0LvnO6ReTeJTgDYw8UWUs167qHhQz5tLjLyL_w8UFz5BtWsopr3bOPLjAOi2QI5JoutVjhxrTNdsvK06hBu-r-VTOtUbyx8eTeniWIIfyiE5zCZP3mkDlThlJngtl_WmBpj92MqWre4n6JnpMChl73bHf8KGFxOTbhbqNllVKbwKMKBB0kHg38f9Ijg/w393-h400/IMG_4280.jpeg" width="393" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Cover of<i> Ver Sancrum</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNmT5Il8okbZpz7ztHb9WzDzGdyMq3w6MOCYuiaDMNhCAq0lOR-iuKkJS4e_FQ__uQVR8QjDFeKSF89jM_HxxnWoLVW6vyK1A-fcpa2GYXN7NWoS7vZCGsMuz_J5PHzxqXEEiH3ZyjhG6MXlcSTtvRxWJxI4_eW8ejS-r4XDv4BW2pJkilT7lApHeB9DQ/s1115/SecessionistCatalogCover.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1115" data-original-width="777" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNmT5Il8okbZpz7ztHb9WzDzGdyMq3w6MOCYuiaDMNhCAq0lOR-iuKkJS4e_FQ__uQVR8QjDFeKSF89jM_HxxnWoLVW6vyK1A-fcpa2GYXN7NWoS7vZCGsMuz_J5PHzxqXEEiH3ZyjhG6MXlcSTtvRxWJxI4_eW8ejS-r4XDv4BW2pJkilT7lApHeB9DQ/w446-h640/SecessionistCatalogCover.png" width="446" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Cover of Mintons’ <i>Secessionist Ware</i> catalog designed by Léon Salon</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>With the design work done by both Salon and Wadsworth, the ware used a technique popular in Mintons’ tile production—tube lining filled with colored glazes. One of the innovations of <i>Secessionist Ware </i>was that the tube lining on hollowware was often done by hand, giving the work a distinctly hand crafted feel, in agreement with the Secessionist movement’s distancing itself from machine-made arts. Other pieces like plates and some complex hollowware designs largely forsook the thick hand drawn outline for thinner molded lines as found in the Minton tiles. There are pieces in the <i>Secessionist Ware</i> style also created entirely through hand painting and transfer decoration but these tend to be outside of the norm.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The designs were generally stylized florals and always identified by their catalog number which was printed on the base. The pieces of <i>Anglosia Ware</i> that predate the 1901 introduction of <i>Secessionist Ware </i>are marked with an ink Mintons mark. Later Secessionist ware is always clearly marked with the Art Nouveau <i>Secessionist</i> stamp. Some pieces also bear the <a href="https://etruscanmajolica.blogspot.com/2012/10/majolica-pottery-marks-minton.html" target="_blank">Minton date codes</a> to aid in identification.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim_6xfZMJT-Jvc8uzWa4vlY_BVlI4xLXQhAJdvSbDtnav_xhumS-dnU9PtWZpJzwKlfbhaE-Q7d1lPqfzB_I2Hfhn5CjKW5xK6_ifftkb-RT7nqHSQ2DKA8wfk534CCdSBHPGKfjYjXWCt-E_wKZKqvBxzdB_e_RZs8tXfLwnpYPZXOfiYUM1A6wdPfcc/s1321/IMG_4260.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1095" data-original-width="1321" height="331" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim_6xfZMJT-Jvc8uzWa4vlY_BVlI4xLXQhAJdvSbDtnav_xhumS-dnU9PtWZpJzwKlfbhaE-Q7d1lPqfzB_I2Hfhn5CjKW5xK6_ifftkb-RT7nqHSQ2DKA8wfk534CCdSBHPGKfjYjXWCt-E_wKZKqvBxzdB_e_RZs8tXfLwnpYPZXOfiYUM1A6wdPfcc/w400-h331/IMG_4260.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Marked Mintons peacock vase</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguqGFXQrH4AtX03RaM4uXR00oHJOW5x1NKNW8Jk2wSzOSSdw2hb6AqvNjADujuF8-POAZvDt0c0z1WuhpOWXbXQ1--TiXqUeMZrtBGZr7tE4SZFD69TDmsQ7Iwj9nmaoqKVt83YbQk2fM3CCTVnzLSTc8DgNi3uzAPP06ZLMk_XX1VeKH7EczSrBrk1Qs/s1332/MintonMark2.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1271" data-original-width="1332" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguqGFXQrH4AtX03RaM4uXR00oHJOW5x1NKNW8Jk2wSzOSSdw2hb6AqvNjADujuF8-POAZvDt0c0z1WuhpOWXbXQ1--TiXqUeMZrtBGZr7tE4SZFD69TDmsQ7Iwj9nmaoqKVt83YbQk2fM3CCTVnzLSTc8DgNi3uzAPP06ZLMk_XX1VeKH7EczSrBrk1Qs/w400-h383/MintonMark2.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge7Q5Wn4Zndy6j5RXJLboCgFEPdJPJgd9WMRzqaVmqKkeaFlmNc-LE6RqLgHAdD1RSNYXViTftYjudIXyNkM-SibN605QABtEMvo4UmDR9EzjkU7F1yQ71LwfuwDaYdACK0UUbGdw_yM-aUvaQzpdcvCT8jrjli1HVtWBcaM5aW95jAssER3BlEtFKH1A/s1409/MintonMark3.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1215" data-original-width="1409" height="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge7Q5Wn4Zndy6j5RXJLboCgFEPdJPJgd9WMRzqaVmqKkeaFlmNc-LE6RqLgHAdD1RSNYXViTftYjudIXyNkM-SibN605QABtEMvo4UmDR9EzjkU7F1yQ71LwfuwDaYdACK0UUbGdw_yM-aUvaQzpdcvCT8jrjli1HVtWBcaM5aW95jAssER3BlEtFKH1A/w400-h345/MintonMark3.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfSKEr6ySlYtY189SdMZ1OkSa94LqgXmTLWwyjSix2ZI4Y9g4Rj7U0A3PvTt8Ap7qOEfksiJOYhngq_9h2H3P3rrMxnT8MwGFfyLA2UpCZxyZQdsJS646bKj7E3E2yBiB1aHIKo9MYJZVlMXZtdBG9oig7mBGbMqPtKmEGXlk06sp8y7GFWt_06UtmNrY/s1298/MintonSecessionistMark.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1173" data-original-width="1298" height="361" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfSKEr6ySlYtY189SdMZ1OkSa94LqgXmTLWwyjSix2ZI4Y9g4Rj7U0A3PvTt8Ap7qOEfksiJOYhngq_9h2H3P3rrMxnT8MwGFfyLA2UpCZxyZQdsJS646bKj7E3E2yBiB1aHIKo9MYJZVlMXZtdBG9oig7mBGbMqPtKmEGXlk06sp8y7GFWt_06UtmNrY/w400-h361/MintonSecessionistMark.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaAr-P6hmafs28U-QzRd06ZiHWNadqkR75WceI3J3IQK2vUFx4TiLGbYIe0nR6FBBsVvKUwBAs7E5stvbYyuBECPQQuOEw97PPI7srFbzo24S8iFC_pYjootpHmoIiR6_SuDJoeQrs6dcxZ37GrSP4CueJz-FZAwNU8d0YHgxOfbmPqjjxNrsSNkAtl7c/s1500/MintonMark.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1001" data-original-width="1500" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaAr-P6hmafs28U-QzRd06ZiHWNadqkR75WceI3J3IQK2vUFx4TiLGbYIe0nR6FBBsVvKUwBAs7E5stvbYyuBECPQQuOEw97PPI7srFbzo24S8iFC_pYjootpHmoIiR6_SuDJoeQrs6dcxZ37GrSP4CueJz-FZAwNU8d0YHgxOfbmPqjjxNrsSNkAtl7c/w400-h268/MintonMark.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div>Despite its popularity with the Edwardian public, Mintons' <i>Secessionist Wares</i> have never really found their proper value on the secondary market.

His music today is almost as popular today as it was during his lifetime. Upon his death in 1991, his estate was divided between his partner Jim Hutton, his close friends, his parents and sister and the woman he called his ex-fiancée, Mary Austin. To Austin he left his home Garden Lodge and its contents. There she has lived for the past 30+ years, surrounded by Freddie’s exquisite treasures. When she decided recently to sell Garden Lodge the contents were placed for auction at Sothby’s. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimDqN9E7HX_8Y4NM_Ru_AzCU9-EZQLju6jkA3vE1aN19nFLwFt1mnGEC41-ZJkyjncqBbQOtKbh_ALMqMzeJn0QdXoq7vzb4B1fCKl3F4RkZVLlw2gw2rlFBXMp7dwb6sf118sXWsxVSeCnzb1GWlx6W2mhQbwJxgib2pPkHpEbYOh0jsF9KZnYFypdcE/s1600/garden%20lodge.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1132" data-original-width="1600" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimDqN9E7HX_8Y4NM_Ru_AzCU9-EZQLju6jkA3vE1aN19nFLwFt1mnGEC41-ZJkyjncqBbQOtKbh_ALMqMzeJn0QdXoq7vzb4B1fCKl3F4RkZVLlw2gw2rlFBXMp7dwb6sf118sXWsxVSeCnzb1GWlx6W2mhQbwJxgib2pPkHpEbYOh0jsF9KZnYFypdcE/w400-h283/garden%20lodge.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Freddie Mercury's Garden Lodge</span></div><p>His taste in music, costumes and decor exhibited his eclectic flamboyance.

Of course there were a few majolica pieces among the pottery. They were not what you’d expect from a rock star. In fact his taste in majolica was rather restrained, leaning towards simple classical forms.</p><p>The pieces placed for auction are all lovely pieces.

While some of these are being legitimately sold as majolica style pieces, others are not, being misrepresented as antique pottery. This time though, there is a new area of reproductions one needs to look out for—reproduction Victorian tiles.</p><p>The tiles being reproduced are, for the most part, being legitimately sold as exactly what they are, reproductions. One of the companies making these tiles is the English company Stovax Limited who sells them for fireplace use. What concerns me though is that many of these will eventually find their way to secondary market dealers who may, through ignorance or not, sell them as genuine antiques. Dozens of designs are being reproduced, both transfer and majolica style tiles.

Most antique tiles by major manufacturers are clearly marked, but not all. For that reason being familiar with the craftsmanship of antique tiles is important. Antique tiles are thick while the reproductions are thinner. Antique tiles are also usually ridged or patterned on the reverse to better attach to wet plaster. New tiles are smooth on the reverse, to adhere to modern sheet rock. Some of these new tiles are screen printed using modern printing methods distinguishing them from three dimensionally formed tube lined antique tiles.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8tpaQg5Pccv8T9QExcIMJokQshRbqgwkYEphTYTLygbE0X4sTUbASe4z0qpeMMyZPQ93DJko1HRtkpioIviAMLXsZfh6uLfRB7ll9L2sAC0SlNuUu8N7qqE1iEOr3byK8WX6Ulfo-xfFlqwTk6tSeHlLz7K0nanYjIkcUPw85yTNgu5pmsX5zIJWzYkw/s1455/MintonTile6.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1455" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8tpaQg5Pccv8T9QExcIMJokQshRbqgwkYEphTYTLygbE0X4sTUbASe4z0qpeMMyZPQ93DJko1HRtkpioIviAMLXsZfh6uLfRB7ll9L2sAC0SlNuUu8N7qqE1iEOr3byK8WX6Ulfo-xfFlqwTk6tSeHlLz7K0nanYjIkcUPw85yTNgu5pmsX5zIJWzYkw/w398-h400/MintonTile6.png" width="398" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Reverse of Minton Hollins & Co. tile showing old adhesive</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRp8dNMXYcbjmq5GM5KhMhitbBRYOmLtaVIGP3jIMgTuzLCSzhtGrdMA86GH_PGKI_c77lbdsJNFS6QeaPVQMonMxswZzyhSgRDEz7v_HbNbx0skzEsy8YoI0HzCnfmLE23B_6_dMp3_8C1kYNB6-qQ55FsAKGTGpzzNVQHadfMee2AqGDv7apmg_O1Sw/s1463/MintonTileReverse4.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1463" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRp8dNMXYcbjmq5GM5KhMhitbBRYOmLtaVIGP3jIMgTuzLCSzhtGrdMA86GH_PGKI_c77lbdsJNFS6QeaPVQMonMxswZzyhSgRDEz7v_HbNbx0skzEsy8YoI0HzCnfmLE23B_6_dMp3_8C1kYNB6-qQ55FsAKGTGpzzNVQHadfMee2AqGDv7apmg_O1Sw/w394-h400/MintonTileReverse4.png" width="394" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Reverse of Minton Hollins & Co. tile showing mark</span></div></div><div><br /></div><div>Most antique tiles find their way to the market after removal from buildings so one often finds old adhesive on the back or sides of antique tiles.

The film <i>Of</i> <i>Human Hearts</i> is a 1938 movie from MGM starring Walter Huston, James Stewart and Beulah Bondi. It tells the story of a poor minister and his family set in Antebellum rural Ohio before and during the Civil War.</p><p>It follows a minister played by Walter Huston and concentrates on the ungrateful son he raises played first as a child by Gene Reynolds and in his later years by James Stewart. The story begins around 1850 and runs through the mid 1860s. The majolica appears in the home of the minister in the early part of the story–a majolica oak leaf tray sitting on the family sideboard.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXNPzgw3P4wW1kQ0k6lzCovYgXyhclBM7sJ4WxZmzNX_Of5YN3bE10xWJsL3u7IAPASw3R5LukM20gtQv6F1GiXNnfpf9f6mK0SECNEAJ2gtOfHRpotIfXChiSJKrjvYgKprZvCKMt6DiAzz6U4XdFVI4IGORk1vCe006wYH60XAvPO_14vYBCQPqTn6A/s3024/Oak%20leaf%20in%20Of%20Hasty%20Hearts.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2247" data-original-width="3024" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXNPzgw3P4wW1kQ0k6lzCovYgXyhclBM7sJ4WxZmzNX_Of5YN3bE10xWJsL3u7IAPASw3R5LukM20gtQv6F1GiXNnfpf9f6mK0SECNEAJ2gtOfHRpotIfXChiSJKrjvYgKprZvCKMt6DiAzz6U4XdFVI4IGORk1vCe006wYH60XAvPO_14vYBCQPqTn6A/w400-h299/Oak%20leaf%20in%20Of%20Hasty%20Hearts.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Scene from<i> Of Human Hearts</i> with actor Guy Kibbee playing a local merchant</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb2pHhMrz0_M_0b5QnkcEIb8RtefVAM0r1vzrkpiMXwPVhgcuiDx5Hl88ensmS5Qij1oOLcke4-u3seSHcIHhjei7WjlZtsTMufovVlHPVYFvp_orQ-Rb9YqWNiES6js4l0FH_AaNdZKIegmpV3-Cd7BsyURwftg439tZq6viXkvRR_imwI_2HuwaSQFM/s896/Oal%20Leaf%20Tray.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="896" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb2pHhMrz0_M_0b5QnkcEIb8RtefVAM0r1vzrkpiMXwPVhgcuiDx5Hl88ensmS5Qij1oOLcke4-u3seSHcIHhjei7WjlZtsTMufovVlHPVYFvp_orQ-Rb9YqWNiES6js4l0FH_AaNdZKIegmpV3-Cd7BsyURwftg439tZq6viXkvRR_imwI_2HuwaSQFM/w400-h323/Oal%20Leaf%20Tray.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Majolica oak leaf tray</span></div></div></div><p>The reason I say that the majolica shouldn't technically be there is because it wouldn't have been made until at least 10 years after the period in which the scene is set.

There is a majolica clock I pointed out in my post on the film <a href="https://etruscanmajolica.blogspot.com/2012/08/majolica-in-movies-gigi.html" target="_blank"><i>Gigi</i></a> that has appeared in more MGM movies than I can count. There are even Web sites devoted to these kinds of things, like <a href="https://recycledmoviecostumes.tumblr.com" target="_blank">Recycled Movie Costumes</a>.</p><p>Nonetheless,<i> Of Human Hearts</i> is a historical movie with some Civil War action sequences and something of a message picture, a bit unusual, but one worth your time if that is your cup of tea. </p><p>For a clip from the movie go <a href="https://youtu.be/VDzkazjfz24" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>Jimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05027786373775510140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841336701239728405.post-7634345293716373752023-06-18T09:29:00.006-07:002024-03-05T07:25:45.536-08:00Victorian Majolica Bread Plates<p>Marie Antoinette is famous for her statement, “Qu'ils mangent de la brioche.” In English that is generally translated as “Let them eat cake,” but that is not really an accurate translation. What it really translates to is “Let them eat brioche.” Brioche is a bread enriched by eggs and butter, so it could be said that the French Revolution was actually precipitated by a bread.</p><p>Bread has a history as a human food going back to ancient times. It has long been a staple of the human diet. Egyptians buried their dead with bread to nourish them on their trip to the afterlife. The Jewish holiday Passover is traditionally observed with matzo, a type of cracker substituted for bread because it didn’t require the leavening time of baking bread. Charred boules of bread have survived from ancient Pompey. During the Middle Ages no meal was complete without a trencher on the table. Wikipedia defines a trencher as a Medieval round of stale bread on which food could be served at the table. At the conclusion of the meal the trencher would be eaten with the sauce.</p><p>Victorians didn’t use trenchers of stale bread, but they did have a contemporary equivalent. The role the trencher played at the table—the wooden bread board or ceramic tray—was a main stay of every family meal. These often maintained the same round shape as their Medieval predecessor. Most every pottery included bread trays in their inventory. Naturally majolica with its deeply modeled and colored surface proved to be an excellent vehicle for displaying bread. Many of these are easily easily recognized by their shape or iconography, though any tray could actually serve for the purpose. Most of these have a raised rim to the hold the bread. </p><p>Let’s take a look at majolica bread trays.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_c1q0FqO5p3_xYZ27gEkbyfNEe-ckYRlculQE9aFohQqD4v8ppL3GXOixBMSZoA042Em6nh_-wmsuvxB1dd_ZL00sU_AxA_rIZDSyFqwc5lvqLw50c9kcet4G-JYqrGWWYFUwJM4Kjs5z68sI7qyqtfjvlGhI3-KN3o3mxT_K8ed7OjgCc6GuHdsu/s817/IMG_3461.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

Such a program is </span><i style="text-align: left;">Celebrity Antiques Road Trip </i><span style="text-align: left;">on PBS.</span><span style="text-align: left;"> This is a different version of a game I used to watch all the time on BBC TV, </span><i style="text-align: left;">Antiques Road Trip.</i><span style="text-align: left;"> until it was dropped from my local carrier. I understand </span><i style="text-align: left;">Antiques Road Trip</i><span style="text-align: left;"> it is still in production in the UK, heading into its 25th season. Some reruns of both shows can be seen on Peacock and Pluto in the US and a number can be found on YouTube.</span></div><p>In <i>Antiques Road Trip</i> several antiques dealers scour the English countryside for items that could make them a profit when sold at auction. Each dealer has a certain amount of money to spend, and they travel around and purchase what they think are the best deals they find. <i>Celebrity Antiques</i> <i>Road Trip</i> adds the twist of including celebrities among those searching for profits. This program has also had a long run in the UK, currently in its tenth season.</p><p>Both of these programs are very typically British— proper with lots of English references that would go over the head of most outside the UK, mixed with a few dull British history lessons. I've only seen one season of <i>Celebrity Antiques Road Trip </i>but of those celebrities featured during the season there was only one celebrity that I recognized, the late Diana Rigg. Mostly they are British celebrities unknown to a general international audience outside of the UK.</p><p>The episode that caught my attention is from the Fourth season, Episode 11. In this episode the "celebrities" John Craven and Johnny Ball teamed up with two knowledgable dealers Alistair Stewart and Charles Hanson. I wish I could report that they purchased lots of ceramics for their auction selections, but alas, they bought only a couple, a pair of Bretby jugs dating from the 1930’s. There were quite a few pieces of Victorian majolica in one of the stores they shopped in though in Ringwood. Oddly enough they were mostly French majolica, not British.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRLPCB8ZXx2g_HlkKl6ynY8ew5kap8IwHe6ZbooN4jVdQA-C91jSDhDmIJZ6snGDGRnK4Cl-2Ix3XZqr8KG8NazRMygPXYlyVpTLzuu2zZTt5ogHuNXoGJTJRPvG5UIm99DGoCGW8LWQplZAx9EUvKZ_TU5fLw_EbHVuj1dHGkzQNRT8k1z-uJPjVp/s2048/IMG_3350.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em;

On an average of at least once a week a scan of upcoming auction listings will identify a piece of decorated earthenware as majolica. So then, what’s the difference? It’s actually quite simple but you need to have a bit of understanding of the majolica manufacturing process to clarify it.</p><p>First of all, before I describe the manufacturing process, let me get one thing clear. I would like to eliminate the term ALBINO from the conversation entirely though it is nearly impossible because it is used pervasively. It is an unfortunate, offensive term that was coined in the early days of antique majolica classification. I have tried to explain this <a href="https://etruscanmajolica.blogspot.com/2012/04/albino-majolica.html" target="_blank">before</a> but the term has taken hold and is used particularly by antique dealers to justify charging majolica level prices on items that are not majolica. This so-called “albino” majolica is simply white glazed earthenware. It uses an opaque white lead glaze to completely cover a piece of biscuit before it is fired. That’s all there is to it.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNFo6-vQ6Bd5WgXxovntnDUkrOkR3emswSQfM6RAWkk47a8YsbIIldcncHMooQ0i094B6yNF5VZR-CJ0ZSBz53FZpuCe9gss9HE-qxC9FfMdDSC3JCN4iwDNzUaUQjKtM1aV94Ch23ffMXK08YF2gj-7kD4aYPx9iIBZtG_KKihvuc2PGdMIf3KtGs/s1067/EtruscanJardiniere.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="995" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNFo6-vQ6Bd5WgXxovntnDUkrOkR3emswSQfM6RAWkk47a8YsbIIldcncHMooQ0i094B6yNF5VZR-CJ0ZSBz53FZpuCe9gss9HE-qxC9FfMdDSC3JCN4iwDNzUaUQjKtM1aV94Ch23ffMXK08YF2gj-7kD4aYPx9iIBZtG_KKihvuc2PGdMIf3KtGs/w374-h400/EtruscanJardiniere.png" width="374" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Etruscan Works<i> Ivory Ware </i>white earthenware jardiniere </span></div><p>Victorian majolica is made from a piece of fired biscuit that is covered with an opaque white glaze, then decorated by hand in various colored glazes. It is then fired a second time (and sometimes even a third time) to melt the glaze and cause it to adhere to the biscuit body. This gives the glaze a hard, brittle, transparent quality similar to glass. Decorated earthenware skips the step where the body is covered with various colored glazes. In place of this, the white, fired, glazed piece is covered with enamels over the glaze. In some situations the enameled piece may be fired again at a much lower temperature to set the enamels but this is not always the case. The lack of the bonding of the color on the decorated piece of earthenware gives the color on the piece a vulnerability to damage that majolica does not have because in majolica the color is fused to the body, not applied over it.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvokokLkD_RvuMAfEwcUL5phrl5VsV8xG8BU8CvoflB-tAizA4gWjH1u399sNxqG6j7fRhvIYhvD-2wbjXuelUMJ_w8B56dLyTFI3Ct9YCxvz7nrHBaNwyb416SzXVMtTLYBFYkYRQ33-_tXnplY0IPvQe10m7p4oQdZ_nHjuSbQjpAkT0HOTl_Qnv/s1008/EtruscanMajolicaJardiniere.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1008" data-original-width="962" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvokokLkD_RvuMAfEwcUL5phrl5VsV8xG8BU8CvoflB-tAizA4gWjH1u399sNxqG6j7fRhvIYhvD-2wbjXuelUMJ_w8B56dLyTFI3Ct9YCxvz7nrHBaNwyb416SzXVMtTLYBFYkYRQ33-_tXnplY0IPvQe10m7p4oQdZ_nHjuSbQjpAkT0HOTl_Qnv/w381-h400/EtruscanMajolicaJardiniere.png" width="381" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Etruscan Majolica jardiniere</span></div><p>When looking at decorated earthenware rather than majolica it is common to see areas where use and wear have caused the enamels to flake off. This doesn’t happen with majolica glazed pieces. Also, the color of enamel glazed pieces have no transparency to the color. It is opaque and often matte in finish. A good example is shown below in two examples from my previous post on “albino” majolica. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi976oP8gf3_2zINts9YTu5xwUDVku-5O7gVzYolQLaVXLfcm8MqNgfLw-iNQ3b8ODBETZotR03e1FyN0D7STV9Ldn-VJiXenaT1Y4nhlWbWXErEvv_QzHjQirlwiGchsUS6S2W8uCzdsh2Wfygeo7rYRH8G29-8e4v9P7rhVZq_BnTjfUC8EDIDiP0/s1008/2E9BA518-E27D-400B-972F-418CAD7B0FCD.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="912" data-original-width="1008" height="363" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi976oP8gf3_2zINts9YTu5xwUDVku-5O7gVzYolQLaVXLfcm8MqNgfLw-iNQ3b8ODBETZotR03e1FyN0D7STV9Ldn-VJiXenaT1Y4nhlWbWXErEvv_QzHjQirlwiGchsUS6S2W8uCzdsh2Wfygeo7rYRH8G29-8e4v9P7rhVZq_BnTjfUC8EDIDiP0/w400-h363/2E9BA518-E27D-400B-972F-418CAD7B0FCD.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">George Jones decorated earthenware Primrose cheese bell.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZN--TgCNjyIhy16LAs3zBESwzrUVbOR6aTfZJ3BZgHL3H3YGECBMVoSa3-5CLG9kVmn36LIMA9-oKIrDd_dxVLiHleg2xpyIQ3vyJGUkYfBdXVWXHgjf1a9OrqApS511KHMnw7bJC3SGGqNZKf5I5Vcm-GuAtpcz0zKwXnOMkCh7oZHGD-Wi2TAoS/s1056/8C93C532-71EF-41DD-B6CB-A561D11476E7.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="899" data-original-width="1056" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZN--TgCNjyIhy16LAs3zBESwzrUVbOR6aTfZJ3BZgHL3H3YGECBMVoSa3-5CLG9kVmn36LIMA9-oKIrDd_dxVLiHleg2xpyIQ3vyJGUkYfBdXVWXHgjf1a9OrqApS511KHMnw7bJC3SGGqNZKf5I5Vcm-GuAtpcz0zKwXnOMkCh7oZHGD-Wi2TAoS/w400-h340/8C93C532-71EF-41DD-B6CB-A561D11476E7.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">George Jones majolica Primrose cheese bell.</span></div><p>The decorated earthenware cheese bell on top is beautifully decorated in applied enamels, yet there are areas where the enamel has flaked off from use.

My blog posts on George Jones consistently receive the highest hits of all the posts I do. That made me think that a Majolica Spotlight on their glorious pitchers would be of general interest to my readers. </p><p>In doing research on these pitchers I was often frustrated by the incomplete George Jones majolica pattern books available to us today. Unfortunately we have no other means of knowing how many different pitchers were made nor how the pitchers were identified within the factory nor the number of sizes they were made in. Because of this, when a pattern name is not available I'll identify the pattern by the pattern number. </p><p>They also repeated some names in-house for different patterns which makes things more difficult. In the illustration below from the pattern books, two pairs of pitchers share the same name. Two pitchers, the one in the top right and the one directly below it share the name <i>Foliage Jug. </i>At the bottom, the pitcher on the right corner and the one on the left corner share the name <i>Basket Jug.</i></p><p>I’m sorry to say there are some pitchers which we know little or nothing about aside from being made by the company. I will include them also. I am not including small creamers that were integral components to other pieces such as strawberry servers.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix0sBiyvhL9VvQ_bFtoMRZjCpL6a6FDEcW4Vu3yZodlhVWGOic9SkPWTjsNV_MivbjxVGlOnS7IKGvs3QKuneUDYraXd-YWi6DifzwJNWShdBQpWMU2VP5x_QyJqQsUcq3AsR5zab3lCibHUpoTI8TaBkqp1sO9BAohZJ01lwRQ_rqA7unRDh3rmLZ/s1823/JonesCatalogPage-s.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1823" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix0sBiyvhL9VvQ_bFtoMRZjCpL6a6FDEcW4Vu3yZodlhVWGOic9SkPWTjsNV_MivbjxVGlOnS7IKGvs3QKuneUDYraXd-YWi6DifzwJNWShdBQpWMU2VP5x_QyJqQsUcq3AsR5zab3lCibHUpoTI8TaBkqp1sO9BAohZJ01lwRQ_rqA7unRDh3rmLZ/w506-h640/JonesCatalogPage-s.png" width="506" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Registered pitcher designs from the George Jones pattern book</span></div><p>I should also mention that different color variations of the same pitcher were occasionally given different pattern numbers. This may be because of differences in the mold or some other unknown reason; there's really no way to know for sure. The pattern numbers given refer to the examples shown, when available.</p><p>Of all the pitchers George Jones made, I would guess that his <i>Chestnut</i> pattern pitcher, pattern 1809, is likely one of the most sought after. It regularly brings high auction prices and is very much in demand among enthusiasts. Maybe it’s the rarity or maybe it’s the spray of chestnut flowers on the side. Whatever it is, collectors love it! Who can blame them? It’s a lovely design. Although the GJ Catalog listing on this jug is incomplete, I have been able to confirm that there are at least four sizes: 6 oz., 12 oz., 24 oz. and 30 oz.. Of these four there are three different variations in design. The largest of these was designed with a small attached foot. In my experience this is seen most frequently in large jugs made as part of a dresser jug and wash bowl set though I have never seen a washbowl in this pattern. The next size came in two distinct variations: one has a larger attached footed base and the other a twig footed base. The smaller sizes both have the larger attached footed base. The pattern number is 1809.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuCxw3HEYhuuALGshpmqQ5cu6UAwbGOzy6Z4xILJaillX3Q4rCPsFqRXqM7cN4pBbYzrSflY9zoS6xCgwRNluq1Ne7OIm-j1O2LAVt3KBDsehBUozDvf85qNZPuasy0SgGnkyMw9GPRusFDXdvjYesi3xot-uDNliVTFWJJ7SM1Q1uOAnGXwe2JaiK/s792/GJLargeChestnutJug.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="792" data-original-width="557" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuCxw3HEYhuuALGshpmqQ5cu6UAwbGOzy6Z4xILJaillX3Q4rCPsFqRXqM7cN4pBbYzrSflY9zoS6xCgwRNluq1Ne7OIm-j1O2LAVt3KBDsehBUozDvf85qNZPuasy0SgGnkyMw9GPRusFDXdvjYesi3xot-uDNliVTFWJJ7SM1Q1uOAnGXwe2JaiK/w281-h400/GJLargeChestnutJug.png" width="281" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">George Jones majolica large <i>Chestnut Jug</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNLpJi_6jqMuPe6AOGGVb6DQr3gnaRGRC135CrwnQW9X9HxwAxj0_6yHumhN-KD2DMnw3e0yvCh-KKTJ16NqfCRK_j7Y2dCp8cCC20Iw6-t01IIR3bf3fsYMlatzCk1Zfne_eGIwsFjqnErLw2AO-G2nlBwfdC9WR7uBG3peFBxmIGMWNYbZOhGJ9X/s1022/GJChestnutFootedJug.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1022" data-original-width="839" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNLpJi_6jqMuPe6AOGGVb6DQr3gnaRGRC135CrwnQW9X9HxwAxj0_6yHumhN-KD2DMnw3e0yvCh-KKTJ16NqfCRK_j7Y2dCp8cCC20Iw6-t01IIR3bf3fsYMlatzCk1Zfne_eGIwsFjqnErLw2AO-G2nlBwfdC9WR7uBG3peFBxmIGMWNYbZOhGJ9X/w330-h400/GJChestnutFootedJug.png" width="330" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">George Jones majolica attached foot C<i>hestnut Jug</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_umXyAyEAIKp0byGqbZz_d9vLZ_-yAQ-Ld1oihsP7jiXX4IEcMkuUJd0givAh4Dv96YlxbYpFEVUlrbziKX6VMz3PmyLDg9bu0dmLQhBJYWtCKNMMP7wSVEF3ZH80xXfXb_Ndk_xsYfU6BLwtjCm5mzt7BLf_GLMq_L5Nb9q9v3CmpDjuippSAC5e/s792/GJTwigFootedChestnutJug.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="792" data-original-width="635" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_umXyAyEAIKp0byGqbZz_d9vLZ_-yAQ-Ld1oihsP7jiXX4IEcMkuUJd0givAh4Dv96YlxbYpFEVUlrbziKX6VMz3PmyLDg9bu0dmLQhBJYWtCKNMMP7wSVEF3ZH80xXfXb_Ndk_xsYfU6BLwtjCm5mzt7BLf_GLMq_L5Nb9q9v3CmpDjuippSAC5e/w321-h400/GJTwigFootedChestnutJug.png" width="321" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">George Jones majolica twig footed <i>Chestnut Jug</i></span></div></div><p>Another highly coveted design is the Jones <i>Sea and Sky</i> <i>Jug</i>, pattern 5246.

This elegantly designed color palette created in the 1870s to revive interest in majolica after it had somewhat faded, proved to be a great success at the time. It’s easy to see why. Compared to the earlier generation of majolica with its bright, bold colors, this must have appeared to reinvent the form. It blends well with bone china and porcelain on the dining table so for the sophisticated diner it complimented food rather than shock by its garish showiness. This is certainly why it became the long running success it proved to be. Today people who are attracted to majolica buy it for the brilliant color it adds to decor. This difference between use and display explains why it’s not as popular today.<div><br /></div><div>In 2010 I did a <i><a href="https://etruscanmajolica.blogspot.com/2010/06/wedgwood-argenta.html" target="_blank">Majolica Spotlight</a></i> post on Wedgwood's Argenta line of majolica. In it I tried to explain the difference between ware glazed in this color combination of glazes and other glaze combinations. There seems to still be some confusion about what that means. I think that maybe it's time to revisit the subject.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig_lkd11DWqr-lALmimqgsvlzRYn_VuyJk2MV19bFFZV9Qe1Q1dD7JXwQDdeGRLBr9OgunKrxXqX4V9S6QMpVxdNm34BY1znExsshSqKNGAnV6yd-0XX4EenQqDFrgmW9NssaarKmpy9uhdWkqcmw4yIsfSjOUdrSKMMictsM_Tdlx6AetFrVxPakF/s851/WedgOceanSalad2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="422" data-original-width="851" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig_lkd11DWqr-lALmimqgsvlzRYn_VuyJk2MV19bFFZV9Qe1Q1dD7JXwQDdeGRLBr9OgunKrxXqX4V9S6QMpVxdNm34BY1znExsshSqKNGAnV6yd-0XX4EenQqDFrgmW9NssaarKmpy9uhdWkqcmw4yIsfSjOUdrSKMMictsM_Tdlx6AetFrVxPakF/w400-h200/WedgOceanSalad2.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Wedgwood majolica Argenta <i>Ocean</i> salad set</span></div><div><div><br /></div><div>The Wedgwood trade name ARGENTA is derived from the Latin word for silver, ARGENTUM. It's easy to see why this majolica color combination was named after this precious metal. As a combination of neutrals and pastels, the overall monochromatic impression that majolica glazed in this color combination gives is precisely what distinguished it from the vibrantly colored majolica that preceded it.<div><br /></div><div>It should surprise no one that Argenta decoration was originally called "Silver" decoration by Wedgwood. It was changed to Argenta as a marketing ploy after its popularity increased with the Victorian buyer. The glaze color combination soon became popular with other manufacturers as well. Below is a description of Argenta from the November 1879 issue of <a href="https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/oi/authority.20110810105638184;jsessionid=D8A6372B7935D61351E17B62998EBC36" style="text-decoration: underline;">Pottery & Glass Traders' Journal</a> about Hackney's version of Argenta:</div><div><u><br /></u></div></div></div></div><blockquote style="border: medium; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div><div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #e69138;">"Messrs.

It also does <i>not</i> refer to just any Wedgwood majolica with an ivory ground although it plays to a similar sensibility. Case in point below. The monkey plate in Argenta has a particular combination of glaze colors. The plate below it is just a monkey plate with a white ground. If the bottom piece had a different colored ground it would look like any other monkey plate. If the Argenta plate had a different colored ground it would look peculiar compared to other monkey plates.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCab-DweDBS46AjyD9F1YC01_w28A9GZGq-74di2FHb9S0FR_JZNIFUSIsSWvzG1x8z6lWPNVvyWIKaLAkx27VSK7hGm14Rs5wlMKGcBtc4vMR_FJzYC63TSF6MDh27iWWqlQJFAtdpUanuU_-g2K9VEtFEdTimmtK5DnfcO10sgUfooo2Nu7Vc5Q7/s1003/WedgwoodArgentMonkeyPlate.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

Green and brown are part of the Argenta color palette although not dominant. Other commonly seen colors are yellow, black, tan, olive, rose, grey and an occasional spot of blue. Turquoise is the dominant lining color in the hollowware. Still, it is the taupe glazes and ivory ground that distinguish Argenta as you can see from the examples below.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8n1Nw4oawuWtOPLtmJDD6V8Q8TJHJ-6fQG6N7aL8DLPzt9TpaaquKAZTKceoZP6R7IF_v_mUIO-P-XN2PLNyD3b-EApcOfA3h0dCeymCsJbsx4SMLHpD0Dw6jZnNlJySBmEWyOyX51Sx_WBjqqm_Y4czFL5UgDnG-GgptSu6O95dO6JcTGoVRm8_EZsE/s2559/wedgwoodArgenta%20Umbrella.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

Naturally, brightly colored pieces would get all the attention. Majolica is no longer seen as part of a larger dining experience where Argenta pieces would effortlessly fit in, hence Argenta's lack of popularity today. I find that unfortunate because Argenta has a timely modernity that brightly colored majolica lacks. It works well with contemporary decor for the simple reason that it <i>doesn’t</i> draw attention to itself but instead contributes to a larger whole effect.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

One of the main reasons is that, as a collector, you can find pieces that are otherwise impossible to find or afford in other colors. Besides that, a collection of all Argenta makes for quite a stunning display. After all isn't that why we collect pottery in the first place?</div>Jimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05027786373775510140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841336701239728405.post-5423935129767693802023-03-02T20:23:00.039-08:002024-01-06T10:41:17.238-08:00Majolica Spotlight: Wedgwood’s St. Louis Pattern<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7zJhUvy-Wccaz2j9-FC-98M78CLtZvmm0kySat-jid1aKbpN_5cD1Tjh9EDG4s_kf5OI6QW1FwB1znSbMOAWaKzmugpJwaAyQ0N8yiFezJ2R1lVrQ7pv9JULxaQt_gl8m8j-QrlPCPzPcZRUFbrF1mlNGIAGcu65x03CANFYLMzAXKy9DPHTiDzYp/s763/STLOUIS%20copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="503" data-original-width="763" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7zJhUvy-Wccaz2j9-FC-98M78CLtZvmm0kySat-jid1aKbpN_5cD1Tjh9EDG4s_kf5OI6QW1FwB1znSbMOAWaKzmugpJwaAyQ0N8yiFezJ2R1lVrQ7pv9JULxaQt_gl8m8j-QrlPCPzPcZRUFbrF1mlNGIAGcu65x03CANFYLMzAXKy9DPHTiDzYp/w400-h265/STLOUIS%20copy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>One of the most popular Wedgwood patterns of its time, <i>St. Louis </i>is one of the Aesthetic Movement majolica designs that emerged from Wedgwood during the 1880s. In the Wedgwood pattern books it occupies second place in number of entries—79—just eleven less than the number one pattern, <i>Fan</i>. Made in both Argenta and full color versions it has long been one of my personal favorite majolica patterns.</p><p>Utilizing iconography taken from Japanese arts, the pattern is quite showy in its full color version and quite austere in its Argenta coloration. As one of the Asian abstract designs made by the company, it blends very well with other Aesthetic Movement pattern from the same period, <i><a href="https://etruscanmajolica.blogspot.com/2010/08/japonism-fabulous-fans-pt-3-wedgwood-fan.html" target="_blank">Fan</a></i>, <i><a href="https://etruscanmajolica.blogspot.com/2011/05/spotlight-wedgwoods-lincoln-pattern.html" target="_blank">Lincoln</a></i> and <i>Alaska, </i>all utilizing some of the same motifs. The name itself appears to have been chosen at random in keeping with Wedgwood’s practice of naming patterns after places in the U.S. and Britain, e.g. <i>Grosvenor</i>, <i>Chicago, Stanley, Salisbury, Alaska</i> and <i>Lincoln</i>.</p><p>Basic <i>St. Louis </i>features alternating geometric pattern separated by thin dividers. Prunus blossoms and stylized chrysanthemums break up the geometry of the ground. The most prevalent full color treatment of the pattern showcases alternating panels of grey and turquoise with scalloped grey outer borders and chromium orange trim and dividers. Oyster plates come in cobalt and turquoise alternating panels, turquoise and grey and yellow and cobalt. The chrysanthemums are glazed in brown with cadmium orange centers. Prunus branches are green or brown with green leaves and rose and ivory blossoms.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcqImdKueiCB9wGxhtCs2ZkTTMdiv8S-JiU_qM7AfdKNBOHdNLGj0FjV_rs4sNec6uh8OyP6SQnUWYJmlgHhtYuylY4tNZW9_Fm7qKg5-SkZF8AyaxmBe_GIB-leLbc1Dmn72KXXo5r_VI-41eogwJmIva7hha8r6zJ26NGqO8Wmp8ugjbLO5UxlQh/s752/st-louis.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

His father Antione owned a porcelain pottery in St. Sernin in Toulouse and had the resources to send his eldest son, Léon, to school for engineering and design. After graduation, Léon began working with his father in St. Sernin but the unstable French political atmosphere and the financial panic that ensued led to the bankruptcy of the pottery. The following chaos of the French Revolution of 1848 led him to leave France and explore the potteries of England. There he toured the factories of Staffordshire studying technique until he eventually landed at Minton. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu3eDd59TO5uQy9OpTEZba4pB56Zd6y18HoiWE7oUK_aTw6uvz0uv_OFcxQ7FmMV0UNwyZefLq8rq1y_YOw0YFtc8Gwrue-7wZbZIF2fPtDGtPxvN6yebvAEPgJysKHfqEe_iRDNYWFaAZtRO4EWEzqsd9e2mZQwCQvdAaicPxUaaiJa-IvwbW4Or2/s793/ArnouxPottery.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

His training at Sèvres as an artist and designer as well as work at his father's factory made him ideal for such an assignment. His work impressed Minton sufficiently for him to name him Art Director in charge of both the technical and artistic direction of the pottery. With porcelain development unable to compete with that already in the market he turned his attention to earthenware. </p><p>His initial work with earthenware at Minton was on their dust-pressed Prossers Patented tiles. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB2mUYkARRyzCRmRIjCilWXc8KUmWM5sk1WpKbh7_EcInBTD7nClapdo3HKGyVrCPdf4Kmnx7uP6LFsnSkXWzYtEv0qLNRyCOTdGecFirny303zJsw-tx1RLGZR5aeQz6-zEPo0XPgGqW4iUFovYF5ERBFINpgzBbEvi9hV_HR8WLYG71C5QyjJT9_/s1559/MintonProsserTile2.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="1559" height="394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB2mUYkARRyzCRmRIjCilWXc8KUmWM5sk1WpKbh7_EcInBTD7nClapdo3HKGyVrCPdf4Kmnx7uP6LFsnSkXWzYtEv0qLNRyCOTdGecFirny303zJsw-tx1RLGZR5aeQz6-zEPo0XPgGqW4iUFovYF5ERBFINpgzBbEvi9hV_HR8WLYG71C5QyjJT9_/w400-h394/MintonProsserTile2.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Minton majolica glazed Prossers Patented tile</span></div><p>From here he moved onto copying the opaque tin-glazed colored terracotta of the 15th century Italian Renaissance and the work of the Della Robbia Workshop. He accompanied Herbert Minton and Colin Minton Campbell on a trip touring Europe for inspiration on this new line. The tin-glazed ware that resulted he called <i><span style="color: #01ffff;">majolica</span></i>, a line similar to what we refer to as <b>maiolica</b> today. At the time the term majolica was the standard 19th century English term to describe the highly ornate hand decorated 15th and 16th century ware from Italy, Majorca, France and Spain.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This new glaze differed from the earlier developed <i><span style="color: #01ffff;">majolica</span></i> in that the tin-glazes used in <i><span style="color: #01ffff;">majolica</span></i> were largely opaque.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAxBhDVgT_9lc8ILwVj8Fxw7sSgsJLbajVSMX88O6iXotqwlR1SXpP-4ejdwirllOkeHgjuxi_dCLqf-_OMz0nBtSqklfI0VJMoE9A4sxPG2wLLJYeGIMmcZzknZp_YJeJS7qPyxUMQfTz5c3Fzg-4RaPVG76UyU70EyeW3vEmcHbdRtJ_Zv0RJ9VZ/s792/BernardPalissy2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="606" data-original-width="792" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAxBhDVgT_9lc8ILwVj8Fxw7sSgsJLbajVSMX88O6iXotqwlR1SXpP-4ejdwirllOkeHgjuxi_dCLqf-_OMz0nBtSqklfI0VJMoE9A4sxPG2wLLJYeGIMmcZzknZp_YJeJS7qPyxUMQfTz5c3Fzg-4RaPVG76UyU70EyeW3vEmcHbdRtJ_Zv0RJ9VZ/w400-h308/BernardPalissy2.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Bernard Palissy plaque</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6mwtPUWGI6lR99mNQP39Ql-3ePhAjEwItJd0yQpwtEh7mkaR0V2tZSVlXfOp9C9ciGH-u-Rllht-J6_l-dMEXwuQqTRgq5DT8_3JA4WDPRJEm49xb8eSjUEkvn7g5GOBF_GOIbV7W3U7On0gYRmvQrHHfxQAxAk3dxI-qrVoFygzeDvoUozkJ5Xtj/s830/PalssyPlaque.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="639" data-original-width="830" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6mwtPUWGI6lR99mNQP39Ql-3ePhAjEwItJd0yQpwtEh7mkaR0V2tZSVlXfOp9C9ciGH-u-Rllht-J6_l-dMEXwuQqTRgq5DT8_3JA4WDPRJEm49xb8eSjUEkvn7g5GOBF_GOIbV7W3U7On0gYRmvQrHHfxQAxAk3dxI-qrVoFygzeDvoUozkJ5Xtj/w400-h308/PalssyPlaque.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 164, 0); color: #ffa400;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Bernard Palissy plaque</span></span></div><p>The advantage of <span style="color: #04ff00;"><i>Palissy</i> <i>ware</i></span> was that numerous different color glazes could be applied at the same time to a biscuit ceramic and not require different temperatures for firing different colors. Wedgwood, Whieldon and Greatbach had pioneered this type of multicolored lead glazed earthenware in the 18th century but no other pottery had followed up in this work in the 100 years since its development. The <i><span style="color: #04ff00;">Palissy ware</span></i> glazes had a higher concentration of lead in the glaze and were applied over highly molded earthenware bodies at relatively low cost producing a finish of high gloss that was appealing to the eye and inexpensive to manufacture. They did not require the expensive decorative work of Arnoux’s tin-glazed <i><span style="color: #01ffff;">majolica</span></i>.</p><p>Herbert Minton was eager to put on an exceptional high profile display that would cement Minton’s place as the premier English pottery. With the 1851 Crystal Palace Exposition just around the corner, Minton and Arnoux devoted all of Minton's resources to combining both <i><span style="color: #01ffff;">majolica</span></i> and <span style="color: #04ff00;"><i>Palissy</i> <i>ware</i> </span>glazes for exhibition pieces for the show. In addition to showing its own display, the Minton factory contributed <span style="color: #04ff00;"><i>Palissy</i> <i>ware</i> </span>tiles to the large Pugin designed stove shown at the exhibition.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

In the words of architect M. Digby Wyatt who assembled an illustrated catalog for the exhibition:</p><p><i><span style="color: #f6b26b;">"So free and original is Mr. Minton's version of Majolica ware, that we can scarcely refuse to it the merit of of great novelty. Both in modeling and execution, it is a very favourable specimen of the productions ot his celebrated manufactory…"</span></i> </p><p>In time both Minton's <span style="color: #04ff00;"><i>Palissy</i> <i>ware</i> </span>and <i><span style="color: #01ffff;">majolica</span></i> became known as <b>majolica</b>. Today the tin-glazed <i><span style="color: #01ffff;">majolica</span></i> is rather rare as it wasn't a success for Minton. The lead-glazed <i><span style="color: #04ff00;">Palissy ware </span></i>however proved to be a sensation. This new <b>majolica</b> started an international trend in pottery that was to last for over 60 years.</p><p>Arnoux remained associated with Mintons for the remainder of his life eventually becoming a partner at the incorporation of the firm in 1885. Even after his retirement in 1892 he remained a consultant with Mintons assisting the company during a financial crisis. His contribution in the development of Mintons’ many lines cannot be overstated. He brought in from France the best sculptors, painters and modelers he could get and created, along with Minton, a school to educate artists in pottery decoration.

The statue stands slightly under five feet tall with the peacock on a highly detailed rock surrounded by various flora and fauna. Minton only made twelve of these peacocks, although that number is in dispute, and it is believed that nine have survived.

The ship veered off course as the ship approached the Australian coast. As the fog lifted in the early hours of June 1, the captain was horrified to discover that the ship had drifted far closer to the coast near Mutton Bird Island than had been expected. Despite attempts to draw the ship back out to sea the vessel crashed against the rocky reef surrounding the island.</p><p>The crash devastated the ship. The three masts crumbled blocking attempts to launch the lifeboats and killing some onboard.

The area in which they landed is an area now known as Loch Ard Gorge. The two sheltered in caves on the shore until a local farmer rescued them.

After a disagreement with customs officials over the find, McGillivray abandoned the peacock on the shore. Enter James Miller and Thomas Keys. </p><p>Miller was a member of a firm that had bought the salvage rights to the Loch Ard for £2,120 ten days after the disaster. After McGillivray abandoned the peacock on the shore, a storm washed the peacock back into the sea. Miller and Keys had to save it from the ocean for a second time. Before they had a chance to bring the peacock inland, another storm washed the peacock back into the sea. Now, the peacock had been lost and rescued three times from the ocean. When McGillivray first brought the peacock to shore he claimed it was intact except for a chip on the beak. After the third attempt to bring the peacock to land Keys claimed that the bird had the head broken off.</p><p>Salvage operations on the remainder of the cargo concluded quickly. £3,000 worth of the cargo that had been salvaged was swept back into the ocean after a storm. It would be another 90 years before the surviving cargo was salvaged. James Miller decided to keep the peacock for himself. It remained with his family until 1940. It was then offered for sale at an antique shop, where it sat for three years until it was sent to auction in 1943. The buyer was Frank Ridley-Lee who kept it in his home in suburban Melbourne. It remained with the Ridley-Lee family until 1975 when it was offered for sale at auction for $4,500—equivalent to approximately $25,000 today. Unable to find a buyer, the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village in Warrnambool raised money through private donations to purchase the bird for their museum. Today it is on display in the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village Museum with other objects rescued from the ship where it is known as the Loch Ard Peacock. It's ironic that as a bird the peacock symbolizes survival and resurrection, something this Minton majolica piece certainly speaks to as well.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPO6mQg4eDN2K9TVBi0gGNnR-tI4DmTaRHGQmbICFhs_pEDND3LyulfO9wg3FgeAsfsAhgFQsHsFLR6YZrRMPv7m5e55voOMQZ6TESFItgjjynUgazp5nxH1dkbQu5d08V3sqwqox2worBpwm2VHHRk9CZmJrgs27NntLDNSv3uvHP22XUW3-xF4wy/s1600/33E085F2-B55F-421B-8CB2-CD4B16D65A8A.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPO6mQg4eDN2K9TVBi0gGNnR-tI4DmTaRHGQmbICFhs_pEDND3LyulfO9wg3FgeAsfsAhgFQsHsFLR6YZrRMPv7m5e55voOMQZ6TESFItgjjynUgazp5nxH1dkbQu5d08V3sqwqox2worBpwm2VHHRk9CZmJrgs27NntLDNSv3uvHP22XUW3-xF4wy/w480-h640/33E085F2-B55F-421B-8CB2-CD4B16D65A8A.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">The Loch Ard peacock on display at the </span><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Flagstaff Hill </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Maritime Village Museum in Warrnambool</span></div><p>Pearce and Carmichael remained in Australia for several weeks after the wreck to recover from their trauma. Pearce was lauded as an hero for saving Carmichael and both became local celebrities. Newspapers encouraged a romance between the two teenagers but neither one expressed any interest in the other and the two went their separate ways. Both eventually returned to Great Britain and married others. Tom died in 1909 after a successful career as a captain for the Royal Mail and Eveline died in 1934 after raising a family of three and returning to her birth home of Ireland.</p><p>The wreck of the Lock Ard was declared a heritage site on the Victorian Heritage register and remains at the bottom of the ocean off Mutton Bird Island. It has become a tourist attraction for those divers interested in exploring it. It is considered to be among the worst ship wrecks ever to occur off the Australian coast, a coast known for its hundreds of ship wrecks.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3YiWx9FbaKxeW38V9dVcrah6piiri2uciVs8brBinhryiqeDzvtofuM15SXLMfie9k5sfJWyyXDeGeylTODH4b8FF1P7v02Ia1JaO4t0iOlFmZ9_CzEcuByCzDra56SVeaijJIU6FfYFFfe9KSxYMGa-FMuKT2SvrPvG60qTyiif3wz7cXoARpRqN/s960/634F5BCD-BB48-472D-9D05-D0BE86B98778.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3YiWx9FbaKxeW38V9dVcrah6piiri2uciVs8brBinhryiqeDzvtofuM15SXLMfie9k5sfJWyyXDeGeylTODH4b8FF1P7v02Ia1JaO4t0iOlFmZ9_CzEcuByCzDra56SVeaijJIU6FfYFFfe9KSxYMGa-FMuKT2SvrPvG60qTyiif3wz7cXoARpRqN/w400-h266/634F5BCD-BB48-472D-9D05-D0BE86B98778.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifF2KNoIAm9qWz1oWtJHE2KWxQnLzfbr6ArnEry0T_ccHC_7peV3MKQ4AQHbnBy-yjf0R8G5birJjeqJhGXU1xprFcEJHbYdVVZbtk5vkyUIp1Fq85A4DSqbM9mvcm1MMw9p9D59o8fEs6PwleYVF83RJIAyQleFtR2AgRbqNlDdbDvIqXi4vX_C-F/s960/DB7B92FB-E65E-4C21-AEA4-CB34E4272A6E.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifF2KNoIAm9qWz1oWtJHE2KWxQnLzfbr6ArnEry0T_ccHC_7peV3MKQ4AQHbnBy-yjf0R8G5birJjeqJhGXU1xprFcEJHbYdVVZbtk5vkyUIp1Fq85A4DSqbM9mvcm1MMw9p9D59o8fEs6PwleYVF83RJIAyQleFtR2AgRbqNlDdbDvIqXi4vX_C-F/w400-h266/DB7B92FB-E65E-4C21-AEA4-CB34E4272A6E.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx6IWsOP1wlAgInbkGAj-DqPu_-AxLEg6ULLLEj8oLsLXOssQOnBS4rbHB9r0mHX6yvUht1nr1hNIAcvYI0dFKlr13ThyFXhDvfF7CAqFoOAJjKyy9-x_IgyarHe5MxVQRmSGsJbnvxLvs2BiTaclp8WC1HATjhJ4A2yEVX8jrvUfCuvMR80CrhQqL/s620/BC916FD6-E321-4965-B3DA-132D4BF74ED1.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="349" data-original-width="620" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx6IWsOP1wlAgInbkGAj-DqPu_-AxLEg6ULLLEj8oLsLXOssQOnBS4rbHB9r0mHX6yvUht1nr1hNIAcvYI0dFKlr13ThyFXhDvfF7CAqFoOAJjKyy9-x_IgyarHe5MxVQRmSGsJbnvxLvs2BiTaclp8WC1HATjhJ4A2yEVX8jrvUfCuvMR80CrhQqL/w400-h225/BC916FD6-E321-4965-B3DA-132D4BF74ED1.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">The remains of the Loch Ard today</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">With a value today of over a hundred thousand dollars, the Loch Ard peacock is believed to be the single most famous, and valuable, cargo salvaged from any ship wreck in all of Australia. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So ends the peculiar tale of the Minton majolica Loch Ard peacock.</div></div>Jimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05027786373775510140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841336701239728405.post-21004249731203992742023-02-10T17:37:00.010-08:002024-01-06T10:50:54.578-08:00The Minton Majolica Gaselier<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqUWOn9lGu6D5TD6ZeWxlX5CD7n5klRj4WZ66TEcgdtGgtGLdWw3H-ZWcXjDFtvhIXpoHGOgq-SNhx6hsOLgi9wEns1Rayzk1pGSDE2cyjZ2DdWJNWVewJG-eLTGRHxdSYWK_u1RJu6uxnCPD1Pu5YFVxNiPzV-rJOT7IV2bifB2ku6ixEEdR8UQpH/s1536/Crystal_Palace.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1536" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqUWOn9lGu6D5TD6ZeWxlX5CD7n5klRj4WZ66TEcgdtGgtGLdWw3H-ZWcXjDFtvhIXpoHGOgq-SNhx6hsOLgi9wEns1Rayzk1pGSDE2cyjZ2DdWJNWVewJG-eLTGRHxdSYWK_u1RJu6uxnCPD1Pu5YFVxNiPzV-rJOT7IV2bifB2ku6ixEEdR8UQpH/w400-h266/Crystal_Palace.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">London Crystal Palace</span></div><p>The 1862 International Exhibition at the Crystal Palace in London is notable for featuring the most fabulous single piece of majolica ever created, the <a href="https://etruscanmajolica.blogspot.com/2010/08/st-george-fountain.html" target="_blank">Minton St. George Fountain</a>.

Located in the entrance of the Minton booth at the Crystal Palace, it was made to take advantage of the new gas lighting available to the middle class in modern construction. Although gas lighting was introduced in public spaces in London in the early 1800s it really wasn’t until the last half of the century that it found its way to private homes. Up until then oil light was the traditional form of lighting in the home. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd5M36-3W9h8RIDqP__XCwGFcDJL9wIo3TrWK2WkZ2DKYxKimX1E0DbWLOSiQNz41ZgGYMRsCO5_pExomf_SyuR7YwN3ikpsB3iTpxJ5mY9QgFfKXP652AATs0uQtC2Dw3qdniINnZfue-aIwFq0mp_wuHIF2V4G3EedOCOqxsh3Zpdh8P3OTdQNmW/s900/mintonBooth-1862.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd5M36-3W9h8RIDqP__XCwGFcDJL9wIo3TrWK2WkZ2DKYxKimX1E0DbWLOSiQNz41ZgGYMRsCO5_pExomf_SyuR7YwN3ikpsB3iTpxJ5mY9QgFfKXP652AATs0uQtC2Dw3qdniINnZfue-aIwFq0mp_wuHIF2V4G3EedOCOqxsh3Zpdh8P3OTdQNmW/w400-h400/mintonBooth-1862.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Minton booth at the 1862 Crystal Palace Exhibition</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtzDLUmYhzjqBs3vN5shvr87EZoNIhaW_snH_imAWIFFy_3Ife_4Y6xdU1uRaT-LrKcVwah8sh1Gx0KW7hd5O_fuPAnULZrU7Xo0f-Z1R29QUVYp7d0choiA1RgN9ilpZF3qSLWKz-HiUhqwV1zbnj2iId9NGWhY7SWXjR3lmHN-vIRd9Xe7RHtM_L/s1541/MintonGaselier1862.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1541" data-original-width="1529" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtzDLUmYhzjqBs3vN5shvr87EZoNIhaW_snH_imAWIFFy_3Ife_4Y6xdU1uRaT-LrKcVwah8sh1Gx0KW7hd5O_fuPAnULZrU7Xo0f-Z1R29QUVYp7d0choiA1RgN9ilpZF3qSLWKz-HiUhqwV1zbnj2iId9NGWhY7SWXjR3lmHN-vIRd9Xe7RHtM_L/w399-h400/MintonGaselier1862.png" width="399" /></a></div></div><p>There were actually three different designs for the gaselier created by Minton though we only have photographs of one and concept drawings of the other two.

In spite of an artistic sensibility, he followed his father into his business in sales at his father’s store. After the failure of his brother’s attempt at managing his father’s pottery he took over the management of the business in 1864, purchasing his brother's interest in 1865. Under him the company business grew, soon expanding into decorative pottery and more elegant tableware. He began to import raw materials from surrounding areas like Croatia and Transylvania as the business expanded. The stove and pipe operations soon separated into their own manufacturing businesses leaving the decorative and tableware unit an opportunity to develop independently.</p><p>Vilmós tried to raise the artistic level of the company's output by exhibiting in world exhibitions starting with the 1873 Vienna World's Fair. His first work was strongly inspired by the Orientalist movement. It was at the World’s Fair that he was first exposed to the colorful decorative majolica exhibited by Minton and Théodore Deck. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIsjExYbAy6GAr_I6aPCTnYzsactmYyBf0vukq2aYg79pO9TO5-jOIlu0TVdz5ZnQskw74bOItzJqmw-_0cVCu8N9cCRUP3zh7gGvJkRiFD3McOsmcxD2NuaHhiUYN1cZ-ZVl2TLXVFOv09OrMEFNtroLkTUybeUl3FwyJUma0KxG_Zti6II26_Ucd/s800/Vienna%201973.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="591" data-original-width="800" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIsjExYbAy6GAr_I6aPCTnYzsactmYyBf0vukq2aYg79pO9TO5-jOIlu0TVdz5ZnQskw74bOItzJqmw-_0cVCu8N9cCRUP3zh7gGvJkRiFD3McOsmcxD2NuaHhiUYN1cZ-ZVl2TLXVFOv09OrMEFNtroLkTUybeUl3FwyJUma0KxG_Zti6II26_Ucd/w400-h295/Vienna%201973.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Vienna 1873 World's Fair</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDaLYuA3CmrvIKXlDC4lRr7BhDt9cAuZIjipYtRgghYyMQ2r1c6uw3lSqz69t7Q-1czWv1ScTX8fb-FPzxhIBImWO9Zqa67H1jBPArnY_yX-fjKsj52LqMEX55LTR7jEsavz1xRkq9aq877Di3LfW2hvw4IiymdP9eAgpL5_jk55XA3W1TIqWq9AZa/s2036/DeckVienna1873.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1722" data-original-width="2036" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDaLYuA3CmrvIKXlDC4lRr7BhDt9cAuZIjipYtRgghYyMQ2r1c6uw3lSqz69t7Q-1czWv1ScTX8fb-FPzxhIBImWO9Zqa67H1jBPArnY_yX-fjKsj52LqMEX55LTR7jEsavz1xRkq9aq877Di3LfW2hvw4IiymdP9eAgpL5_jk55XA3W1TIqWq9AZa/w400-h340/DeckVienna1873.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Ceramics exhibited by Théodore Deck in Vienna</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij7AO8nHu2tI388Z-XKRrOxHppoifVi5SCQJ1O8uVHV-SIT0xYHZmFIvW_wtwB3sBthuqhCfq1wFPT4d-uEvFrs0tF9atimAcW7J3-Lntt1f17-GrQOvqAvaJfQQ4eQyDCXvOZbXaF9G5JkFECyu8xXlG60SnEJezTypClwOlAveyD6h7NJBUpomaO/s1522/1873%20Vienna%20exposition.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="927" data-original-width="1522" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij7AO8nHu2tI388Z-XKRrOxHppoifVi5SCQJ1O8uVHV-SIT0xYHZmFIvW_wtwB3sBthuqhCfq1wFPT4d-uEvFrs0tF9atimAcW7J3-Lntt1f17-GrQOvqAvaJfQQ4eQyDCXvOZbXaF9G5JkFECyu8xXlG60SnEJezTypClwOlAveyD6h7NJBUpomaO/w400-h244/1873%20Vienna%20exposition.png" width="400" /></a></div><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-small;">Deck’s exhibition in Vienna 1873</span></div><p>This encouraged him to develop his own majolica glazes at his Pécs workshop and soon developed majolica with designs based on popular tastes. Persian and Chinese design were the inspiration for much of Zsolnay's early work as was local Hungarian folk pottery. Vilmós’ daughters Júlia annd Térez were instrumental in the development of the company designs in the Japanese taste while classically trained sculptor Ármin Klein brought the western European interest in Renaissance art to the company.

Based on the secret lusterware technology of Fustat, Egypt, the glaze was first shown in 1896 at the National Millenium Exhibition in Budapest.

WW1 had a devastating effect on the businesses of all of Europe. The collapse of the Austro-Hungarian government reverberated throughout the continent. The Zsolnay company lost much of its decorative and architectural business and survived through the manufacture of utilitarian electrical insulators.
