Manufacturer: Bursley Ware - Wood and Sons
Wonderful piece of Staffordshire Art Pottery from Wood and Sons, Burslem in the form of the uniquely styled Cosy Pot with Slipper Lid which was marketed in the 1920s as the perfect Tea / Coffee Pot.

The design is the much acclaimed Trellis pattern by Art director Frederick Rhead and features an Arts and Crafts style tubelined Trellis design decorated with Roses not dissimilar to those of the Rennie Mackintosh, Glasgow School designs.
It is reputed that, although designed by Frederick, these items were often tubed by the hand of daughter Charlotte whilst she learned her trade under her fathers guidance.
A truly special piece!
CONDITION. – As can be seen from the photos the decoration and structure of the pot are absolutely superb. Other than a little age related crazing under the lid in the rim section it really is quite superb. There are, however, a couple of very minor hairlines to the base that are completely stable and, being contained to the underside, take very little away from the display value of an exceptional piece. They really are very minor and can be seen clearly in the photos showing as little more than discoloured crazing lines.
I believe current book values of this item to be between $400-600 and therefore feel this is an excellent opportunity for the serious collector to own a wonderful piece of Staffordshire, potted history.
Maximum Air Mail shipping of $30.00 dependant on destination. Tracking and insurance for LOSS ONLY are available for a further $8.00. |
