c1850 Texian Campaigne 10.5" Purple Transferware Staffordshire James Beech Historical Texas Battle Scenes Plate made with Texas Revolution Scenes in the 1840's or 50's. No chips or restorations. It does have overall crazing and some stains, it also has a very tight hairline on the upper right that extends almost to the footrim, it is stable and can't be seen from the front without very close examination. The "Texian Campaigne" transferware pattern was introduced about 1837; although made in Staffordshire, it was produced to appeal to Americans. The pattern was designed to commemorate the 1835-1836 revolution fought against Mexico by Texans for their independence (the word 'Texian' is the British form for Texas.) The Texas Revolution (October 2, 1835 – April 21, 1836) was a rebellion of colonists from the United States and Tejanos (Texas Mexicans) in putting up armed resistance to the centralist government of Mexico. While the uprising was part of a larger one, the Mexican Federalist War, that included other provinces opposed to the regime of President Antonio López de Santa Anna, the Mexican government believed the United States had instigated the Texas insurrection with the goal of annexation. The Mexican Congress passed the Tornel Decree, declaring that any foreigners against Mexican troops "will be deemed pirates and dealt with as such, being citizens of no nation presently at war with the Republic and under no recognized flag". Only the province of Texas succeeded in breaking with Mexico, establishing the Republic of Texas, and eventually being annexed by the United States.

c1850 Texian Campaigne 10.5" Purple Transferware Staffordshire James Beech Historical Texas Battle Scenes Plate made with Texas Revolution Scenes in the 1840's or 50's. No cracks, chips, restorations, stains, or crazing. There is expected glaze wear on rim and one firing flaw on back close to the stilt marks. I did just notice on the right side just inside the rim area a hairline type stain, it is visible on the back also, it goes nowhere near the rim and could possibly be a firing flaw.

No cracks, chips, restorations, stains, or crazing. I have a few of these plates so in some cases numbered them to make sure I don't mix them up at any stage. This one is as clean as they get with no cracks, chips, crazing, glaze wear or other issues.

c1860 Austin Texas Portrait of a Stern young woman. Very interesting large<br>portrait of a interesting looking young Austin woman that likely went on to do<br>many great things. I acquired this from a long term Austin estate seller's<br>private collection, they assured me she was from an important Austin family but<br>didn't seem to know which one. So there's likely a street and a school named<br>after her and her family. Important or not I think she's great. I'm 100%<br>positive this is a 19th century painting that has obviously been reframed within<br>the last 30 years. Appears to be an oil on board, 29.5" x 23.5" framed 19.75" x<br>24.5" sight. Fantastic 19th century Southern American portrait with no<br>significant issues. I have not examined this out of the frame, they did such a<br>good clean job framing it up that I just hate to tear off the back and<br>disrespect their work, though I am curious as there is no detectable signature<br>on the front.

No cracks, chips, restorations, or crazing, light wear to peach lustre on rim of pitcher and slight wear to hand painted polychrome decoration inside bowl from pitcher resting inside. bowl 14.25"dia., pitcher 13" Charles James Mason registered his Patent Ironstone China trademark in 1813. Mr. Mason was an astute entrepreneur who had already been involved in the early 18th century porcelain import trade from China by the East India Company. When bulk imports basically stopped in the late 18th century, Mr. Mason turned his skills to the manufacture of ceramics in the “Chinese style.” Ironstone, a dense opaque, earthenware, lent itself well to decoration in under-glaze blues as well as the over-glaze enamels. Mason’s wares were an instant success and have remained highly desirable with collectors for almost 200 years. Their decorative patterns, many in a primitive Chinoiserie style, remain unsurpassed for their charm and earthy beauty

c1860 Old Paris Apothecary Jars Eagle and Anchor for Mexican Market. These are<br>the most desirable motif on Old Paris apothecary jars that I know of. I've seen<br>them bring around 1k each on multiple occasions and have seen some marked on<br>underside "Drogueria Belga Mexico" verifying my statement. These are not stamped<br>like that. They are marked by the Manufacturer or retailer A. Collin Paris,<br>which seemed to be a retailer and/or manufacturer of Medical/pharmaceutical<br>equipment in the third quarter of the 19th century. These are 10.25" tall x 5<br>1/8" wide and they have no cracks, chips, or restorations.

c1860 Old Paris Porcelain Plaque. 8.75" tall x 6 7/8" wide. No cracks, chips, or restorations. 2 7/8" central plaque. My take on this piece is it's possibly like a mid 19th century version of a Photobooth picture. Perhaps this guy was traveling in Paris and there was a guy set up in a booth selling these frames and painting these plaques on the spot as portraits as the bottom appears to read "Love Fullman" Some wear to gilding and a few scratches on plaque.

c1860 Staffordshire Prattware Teapot Stand and Plate with Cattle Farm Scene. 2 great pieces from mid to late 19th century. Teapot stand is 6.5" and plate is 8 5/8". Neither have any cracks, chips, or restorations. Both have the expected crazing of 150 year old earthenware. Selling both pieces shown. In the 19th century, the Pratt name was associated with the fine, usually multi-coloured, transfer printed engravings used to decorate the lids of earthenware pots used for food, pharmaceutical products and toiletries. The business also produced domestic earthenware including relief moulded earthenware (especially jugs) and tableware with underglaze, multi-coloured decoration (‘Prattware’). Terracotta and parian ware were other wares, and Godden (1988) notes that there are examples of mid-19th century porcelain printed with Pratt multi-colour underglaze prints, however, these may have been bought-in ware decorated by the company. Whilst Felix Pratt was the commercial driving force behind the business, the artist was a Jesse Austin who joined Pratt in the early-1840. He was an accomplished watercolour artist and engraver and over nearly 40 years, the business produced over 550 poly chrome prints used to decorate the now well known pot lids. Pratt’s first under-glaze, polychrome pot lid was made in 1847 and was a scene ‘Grace before Meals’. Austin’s subject included royalty, famous people, city scenes – there are eleven views of London – and this portrayal of the life and times of Victorian England is one of the reasons for the lid’s popularity today. Austin also made minature watercolour copies of famous paintings and these too appear on pot lids and Prattware. Although the pot lids have become well known, the engravings were also used on the containers themselves, on plates and on other domestic earthenware manufactured by the business and it is this good-quality domestic pottery that is termed ‘Prattware’. tw176
