# 5855. A Grand Tour Garden Seat. From the workshop of Raffaele Vaccarella in Naples Italy. Late 19th century. The base is marbleized; four lion heads and paws with a granite glaze support the 'pillow' cushion; a hand painted view of cherubs and a goat are depicted on the cushion. Size: 14" across and 18" tall. Condition: several chips and surface losses; cracks to the cushion surface. This is a rare example of Italian Art Pottery. We had a matched pair several years ago that were sold to a London Antiques dealer. There is a pair of similar garden seats in The Preservation Society house museum, Chateau Sur Mer, on Bellevue Avenue in Newport, RI. Price: $7,500.00.


# 5809. An English Gothic Knight Salt Glazed Ridgway Pitcher. Marked: "M Published by W. Ridgway Son & Co. Hanley September 1, 1840" Size is 10.75" tall. The overall color is a light putty/gray color. Condition: no chips, cracks or restorations. High relief Mediaeval jousting knights on horses, Gothic arches and foliate banding create this 1840 interpretation of a bygone era. This pitcher came in various sizes and we believe that this is the largest of this form. We have had different sizes over the decades. Price: $650.00.


# 5810. An English Salt Glazed pottery pitcher in the Gothic Style. Marked: "Registered March 17th 1842 (43) by Charles Meigh" size is 9" tall. Condition: good old spout repaired otherwise no chips, cracks or glaze imperfections. Price: $400.00.

Marked "Wedgwood." Putty ground with raised Gothic and floral decorations. Six panels depict in white classical figures in gowns. This is a rare form seldom seen on the market. Price: $450.00.


# 5811. An English Ridgway ceramic Gothic covered pitcher. 8.5" tall. Marked: "Published by W. Ridgway Son & Co. September 1, 1840." Pale blue salt glazed pottery with a pewter lid which is marked "Dixon & Son" Gothic design elements with two knights riding in a jousting contest. This form and decoration came in progressive sizes. This size was fitted with a lid and was probably used for milk. Condition: tiny yellow staining on the entire surface probably caused by iron in the clay mix. Price: $450.00.


We offer a selection of fine American Art Pottery From the firm of

D.F. Haynes and Company, Baltimore (1883-85).

# 5388. A very rare antique American Aesthetic movement Severn Ware Ghooleh art pottery bottle from David Frances Haynes; the bottle is bulbous at the base with a slender cylindrical neck; it was hand thrown and lathe turned; it has an applied gilt trim strip with a repeated gilt arabesque pattern, applied beads circle the base of the neck, also gild and an applied grid pattern with bead bands at it edges, gilded overall; on the upper half of the globe form one side has applied gilt leaves, flowers and buds; on the reverse there is a gorgeous gilt butterfly. Materials: clays, gilt and vitreous glazes/paints. Dominant colors: olive grey-green / gold (the greyish color is not a glaze, it is the cured color of the soils used) Date made: c. 1881 - 1885. Made in Baltimore, Maryland . Designer: David Frances Haynes at Chesapeake Pottery Co. Mr. Haynes was from New Hampshire and worked in a foundry in Baltimore; he was sent south to establish a factory, and in the process became fascinated with qualities and characteristics of clays for molds. He returned to Baltimore and started his new enterprise, taking on partners after 1887. Mr. Haynes was committed to the "art for art's sake" thesis of the Aesthetic Movement, so he did not try to create exquisitely rare and beautiful pieces for the rich in the manner of Tiffany, but rather wanted useful and beautiful items made affordable by the masses. Size: 11.75" tall. Condition: surface marks consistent with use and age. No cracks or repairs. Price: $2,500.00


# 5183. An American Aesthetic Era pottery pitcher. Attributed to D.F. Haynes and Company, Baltimore (1883-85). Glazed earthenware, h.6.5". Possibly designed by Frederick Hackney, who was an English potter put in charge of artistic production by Francis Haynes. The factory hired art students, mostly women, from the Maryland Institute School of Design in Baltimore. This example, which may be called Calvert-Ware, came in a variety of colors. Condition: without flaws. We don't know how much of this pottery was produced but if this pitcher was use for milk, soapstone and porcelain kitchen sinks are very unforgiving to pottery, porcelain and glass and few examples have probably survived. Price: $895.00.


# 5488. An antique American Aesthetic movement Severn Ware pitcher from David Frances Haynes; the pitcher is bulbous and low in form; it was hand thrown and lathe turned; it has an applied gilt trim banding around the neck with a repeated gilt arabesque pattern; on one side there are applied silver and gilt leaves, flowers and buds and one butterfly. Materials: clays, gilt and vitreous glazes/paints. Dominant colors: olive grey-green / gold and silver. Size: 8" handle to edge of bulbous section of pitcher; 6" tall. This pitcher has a high gloss fired glaze, most of this ware has an unglazed surface. Date made: c. 1881 - 1885. Made in Baltimore, Maryland . Designer: David Frances Haynes at Chesapeake Pottery Co. Mr. Haynes was from New Hampshire and worked in a foundry in Baltimore; he was sent south to establish a factory, and in the process became fascinated with qualities and characteristics of clays for molds. He returned to Baltimore and started his new enterprise, taking on partners after 1887. Mr. Haynes was committed to the "art for art's sake" thesis of the Aesthetic Movement, so he did not try to create exquisitely rare and beautiful pieces for the rich in the manner of Tiffany, but rather wanted useful and beautiful items made affordable by the masses. Condition: without issue. Unmarked. Price: $2,500.00


# 3767. A ceramic / pottery / Pedestal. Made between 1890 and 1910. Thickly glazed dull white surface over a solid composition material. Size: app. 42" tall and the top will support an object 9.5" across. Condition: various flakes and glaze crackelature. This is a very heavy stone like pedestal. Probably made for an indoor conservatory or to be used outside. We had this in our garden for a couple of years with the Newport, Rhode Island cold not affecting the integrity of the pedestal. We have seen a turn of the century catalogue from the firm of Liberty of London that pictured similar garden pedestals and this (unmarked) pedestal may be from the firm of Liberty and Company. Difficult (but possible) to ship. Price: $4,500.00.


# 5141. A French Art Pottery Vase. Etched signature for Gaziello Vallauris. Size: 11.75" or 30cm tall. The metallic glaze varies from top to bottom: copperish on the top to a green on the base. The glaze is a little different on each side. The surface is bumpy with the entire vase having a hand hammered finish. Condition: a rim glaze line from the top down for about 1.5" plus another glaze line on the opposite side of the top, impossible to photograph. Both glaze lines are about the same size; and two under base edge flakes. A very attractive vase. The form is pinched at the top to create a quatrefoil lip with the appearance of fluting almost to the base. Price $1,650.00.


# 4840. A Three piece Clock Garniture. Soft Paste Pottery. From the workshop of Jean Pointu working at Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye . Size of the clock is: 19" tall x 13" wide and 7" deep.
