Victorian Majolica - Joseph Holdcroft

Joseph Holdcroft Majolica 'Chestnut' Teacup and Saucer c1870

Joseph Holdcroft began the Daisy Bank Pottery in the 1860s and by 1870 was producing fine quality majolica wares. He had previously worked for Minton and this is reflected in his work. Here we have an extremely rare 'chestnut' cup and saucer. The cup modelled as a chestnut and the saucer as a chestnut leaf with flowers. For more details see my website Premier Antiques
