Wedgwood Green Glazed Majolica

Wedgwood had been famous for their green glazed and Whieldon type wares in the 18th century, and by the mid 19th century after the success of Minton, began to revive and develop majolica glazes of their own. Here we have two fine leaf dishes from the 1880s. For more details see Premier Antiques

Davenport Imari Patterns

From the early 1800s, Davenport began producing patterns based on the Japanese 'Imari' colours of cobalt blue and iron red. Early pieces were on the newly developed stone china and designs tended to be bolder with touches of lustre or gilt. By the 1870s, Imari patterns had become more refined and precise, were applied to bone china and used much more gilding. The Davenport factory became one of the leading proponents of these sumptuous wares. For more details visit my website Premier Antiques

Early Blue and White - Spode's Love Chase

A rare pattern usually on unmarked teawares, depicting Atlanta, daughter of Zeus. She was looking for a husband and suitors were expected to compete with her in a race. The winner would have her hand; losers would be put to death. Many had died as she was unbeatable, but Milanion won the race, with the help of Aphrodite who gave him three golden apples to distract her. Here the scenes are depicted on a fine dish.
