Trio of antique blue and white transfer pottery Ginger Jars
£ 130.00
A wonderful group of antique Chinese style transfer printed blue and white provincial pottery stoneware ginger jars. Designed to copy their Chinese counterparts these pots were usually made in the potteries of North England. Their slightly naive representation of Chinese scenes, printed in blue on a white background is charming.
History ~
Circa 1880, many of these pots were discarded after use and buried in Victorian bottle dumps. Nowadays enthusiasts spend hours carefully excavating such sites in order to reclaim these wonderful pots.
Condition ~
These jars are in far from perfect condition, there is age related wear and some marking and staining from its years spent underground, and occasional hairline cracks. Each pot is unique in its finish and design and slightly irregular in shape. I have added a few images, if you would like more photographs please contact me and I will be happy to provide them.
