Exceptional Antique Bretby Art Pottery Jardiniere Shape No. 691 by Christopher Dresser – Rare Early Production c. Mid to late 1800s. A truly magnificent piece of Victorian design history, this large twin-handled jardiniere was produced by Bretby Art Pottery Tooth & Co. And is definitively attributed to the seminal designer, Dr. Dresser’s pioneering work in industrial design makes this piece a tangible link to one of the most influential periods in decorative arts. This impressive jardiniere embodies Dresser’s innovative approach, blending a grand, sculptural form with striking Aesthetic Movement-era stylisation. Striking Form: The bulbous body features bold, pronounced, ribbed side panels and elegant, upturned scroll handles, creating a substantial and imposing silhouette. Glaze Contrast: Finished in a stunning, deep Sanguine Red glaze on the exterior, which provides a dramatic contrast with the vivid Lime Green/Yellow glaze of the interior. This piece carries an extremely important feature for serious collectors. Christopher Dresser Design: The base is impressed with the Shape Number “691, ” a form widely documented as being designed by or attributed to Dr. Early Production Confirmation: The impressed Bretby’Sunburst’ maker’s mark to the base is notably free of the addition’ENGLAND’ or’MADE IN ENGLAND’. The absence of this country designation confirms that this jardiniere was produced in Bretby’s earliest years, prior to the 1891 McKinley Tariff Act, which mandated its inclusion for export. This dates the piece firmly to the mid to late 1800s. Condition: Overall excellent condition with no cracks or large chips. One tiny chip, some small surface scratches (see images for additional condition information).
For this sake I have a wonderful early 19th century pie crimper. Made I believe from bone with a thick handle. It is so well made, and I believe it is a sailor made piece. It is double ended, with the wheel at one end and a curved crimped edge at the handle tip. It measures 5 3/4 inches long. It has some nice incised line decoration, adding to the charm of the piece. Rare to be double ended and made from bone, it is in excellent condition, and is a nice piece of early folk art!
