c1750's Battersea box Frog and Deer. Two English 18th century boxes one in the form of a frog, the other a deer. I can't be 100% sure it was made at the Battersea factory, it could be a Bilston box from 20-30 years later. It's 18th century and guaranteed so, both rare boxes. The frog is 1.5" tall x 1.5" wide with some crazing inside and out mainly on the base and bottom of the frog, one chip to the enamel shown in last two pics. The deer 2.25" wide x 1 3/8" tall crazing on top interior and inside and outside of bottom, , small restoration just below the figure on the base and on opposing side of interior. Selling both boxes, if you are interested in only one please have an offer in mind. Battersea boxes developed in the mid 18th century as tiny decorative containers covered with enamel or porcelain and decorated with pleasing designs. Originally the boxes were made of copper covered with white enamel, decorated with classical or scenes or portraits. They evolved over time to become more sentimental. The Battersea box got its name from a firm under the tutelage of Sir Stephen Theodore Janssen, Once Lord Mayor of London at York House in Battersea. The boxes were decorated by transfer printing, which took an impression from an engraved plate painted with enamel and printed on to the box which was then hand painted and fired. The firm existed only from 1753 to 1756 however other firms producing similar boxes, especially those in the village of Bilston, took up this technique. Battersea became the collective name for all such boxes. With advancements in the pottery industry due to the Industrial Revolution, Battersea boxes gradually fell from favour. Allowing small boxes to be produced at less cost than the enameled competitors made Battersea boxes decline significantly by the mid 19th century. They became popular again in the second half of the 20th century with the development of commemorative boxes produced for such well known firms as Tiffany & Co. tw239

Chinese Imari is<br>typically characterized by a combination of dry iron red enamel highlighted with<br>gilt which is then applied as the underglaze on blue and white porcelain. In<br>general, the Chinese Imari pieces have a brighter white and more purple-toned<br>blue than the Japanese pieces. The red over-glaze is also thinner and closer to<br>orange than in Japanese pieces.<br><br>This Barber’s Bowl is in pristine condition and has two holes at the top of the<br>piece.

c1830 Chinese Blue and White Porcelain Canton Helmet creamer and Sugar bowl.

13.25"wide x 7.5" tall. No cracks, chips, or restorations. Incredible piece with<br>hand painted Gilding and decoration. Guaranteed circa 1830's.<br>Decoration possibly by Joseph Bancroft. In 1808 the brothers John and William<br>Ridgway jointed their father Job's factory at Cauldon Place, Hanley in<br>Staffordshire and in the same year the production of bone china was added to<br>that of earthenwares. The early Ridgway porcelains were in Spode style, with<br>quality, scenic bat-prints and some colourful designs in "London"- shape<br>tea-wares. In 1830 the two brothers separated. William Ridgway concentrated on<br>the production of earthenwares. John continued the Cauldon Place Works and was<br>later appointed Potter of Queen Victoria, making some magnificently decorated<br>porcelains. Around 1833 five hundred people were employed at the pottery, and<br>many talented artists were engaged in production of fine painted pieces, some of<br>which are believed to be the work of George Speight and Daniel Lucas, known for<br>their landscape and figure painting. Thomas Brentnall, George Hancock, and<br>Joseph Bancroft have also been employed, specializing in flower painting. John<br>Ridgway exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and their catalogue shows the<br>great variety and quality of the porcelain produced by the factory at this time.<br>In 1856 John Ridgway & Co. gave way to Ridgway, Bates & Co., to be followed on<br>John's retirement in 1858 by Bates, Brown-Westhead, Moore & Co and than from<br>December 1861 by Brown-Westhead, More & Co., a firm that continued until 1904.

Clean as they get.<br><br>The "Texian Campaigne" transferware pattern was introduced about 1837; although<br>made in Staffordshire, it was produced to appeal to Americans. The pattern was<br>designed to commemorate the 1835-1836 revolution fought against Mexico by Texans<br>for their independence (the word 'Texian' is the British form for Texas.)<br><br>The Texas Revolution (October 2, 1835 – April 21, 1836) was a rebellion of<br>colonists from the United States and Tejanos (Texas Mexicans) in putting up<br>armed resistance to the centralist government of Mexico. While the uprising was<br>part of a larger one, the Mexican Federalist War, that included other provinces<br>opposed to the regime of President Antonio López de Santa Anna, the Mexican<br>government believed the United States had instigated the Texas insurrection with<br>the goal of annexation. The Mexican Congress passed the Tornel Decree, declaring<br>that any foreigners against Mexican troops "will be deemed pirates and dealt<br>with as such, being citizens of no nation presently at war with the Republic and<br>under no recognized flag". Only the province of Texas succeeded in breaking with<br>Mexico, establishing the Republic of Texas, and eventually being annexed by the<br>United States.<br><br>The revolution began in October 1835, after a decade of political and cultural<br>clashes between the Mexican government and the increasingly large population of<br>American settlers in Texas. The Mexican government had become increasingly<br>centralized and the rights of its citizens had become increasingly curtailed,<br>particularly regarding immigration from the United States. Colonists and Tejanos<br>disagreed on whether the ultimate goal was independence or a return to the<br>Mexican Constitution of 1824. While delegates at the Consultation (provisional<br>government) debated the war's motives, Texians and a flood of volunteers from<br>the United States defeated the small garrisons of Mexican soldiers by<br>mid-December 1835.

c1850 Texian Campaigne Historical Staffordshire brown Transferware 10.5" plate<br>James Beech Historical Texas Battle Scenes. 2 small crows lines on reverse, one<br>slightly visible on front, none go to edge of plate, and one small chip on back<br>rim of plate. One tight very old hairline that extends almost to footrim, slight<br>discoloration and overall crazing. No chips or restorations.The "Texian<br>Campaigne" transferware pattern was introduced about 1837; although made in<br>Staffordshire, it was produced to appeal to Americans. The pattern was designed<br>to commemorate the 1835-1836 revolution fought against Mexico by Texans for<br>their independence (the word 'Texian' is the British form for Texas.) The Texas<br>Revolution (October 2, 1835 – April 21, 1836) was a rebellion of colonists from<br>the United States and Tejanos (Texas Mexicans) in putting up armed resistance to<br>the centralist government of Mexico. While the uprising was part of a larger<br>one, the Mexican Federalist War, that included other provinces opposed to the<br>regime of President Antonio López de Santa Anna, the Mexican government believed<br>the United States had instigated the Texas insurrection with the goal of<br>annexation. The Mexican Congress passed the Tornel Decree, declaring that any<br>foreigners against Mexican troops "will be deemed pirates and dealt with as<br>such, being citizens of no nation presently at war with the Republic and under<br>no recognized flag". Only the province of Texas succeeded in breaking with<br>Mexico, establishing the Republic of Texas, and eventually being annexed by the<br>United States.The revolution began in October 1835, after a decade of political<br>and cultural clashes between the Mexican government and the increasingly large<br>population of American settlers in Texas.
