Rare ANTIQUE TERRACOTTA Clay Pottery SAD IRON 5″ x 4 1/2″ Forged Iron Nail. This sad iron is unlike any we’ve seen before! Appears to be made from a terracotta clay colored material with brown glaze. You can see the terracotta color showing through in areas. We read that very early Sad Irons were made from Terracotta, Clay and Pottery. See a small part of an article we found online on our last photo where it mentions this. The clasp is held in place with an iron nail that has a cross cross design on its flat head. The top part that lifts, is held in by wire. It is in excellent condition for age, it appears chop free and free from cracks. There are some areas as mentioned where either the brown glaze didn’t cover or it wore off and you can see the terracotta clay color.

Antique Bretby Art Pottery Jardiniere by Christopher Dresser Rare Early
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).
