Description:
A blue and white transferware pitcher made by Palissy Potteries in England in the late 19th century. This is NOT one of the products of the late 20th century. Extensive research gives very little information about the origens of the Palissy Pottery, but I was able to find this which justifies my certainty that this piece did not have the look or feel of a 20th century reproduction:
Palissy Works, Chancery Lane, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent
These works in Chancery Lane were erected in 1862 by Richard H. Grove For the purpose of decorating, not manufacturing, china ware. In 1867, he retired and was succeeded by his son, Frederick Wedgwood Grove, and his partner, John Stark. They commenced manufacturing their own ware having increased the premises For the purpose and erected the necessary kilns and machinery. They manufactured earthenware only. In this, all the usual dinner, dessert, toilet and other services and domestic articles were produced, of all degrees of decoration - from plain and printed to enamelled and gilt varieties. Spirit and wine show-barrels or casks were also specialities. Messrs. Grove & Stark continued to 1885. F. W. Grove continued to 1889, the firm subsequently becoming Grove & Oliver (1889-94), Grove & Prowse (1895-8), then Grove & Co. to about 1904."
From: 'Jewitt's Ceramic Art of Great Britain 1800-1900' - first published 1878, revised 1883
The pitcher is in very good condition, with no chips or cracks. There is some staining inside and on the lower part of the handle, also crackling of the glaze. 7" tall and 8" from spout to handle.
