Chariot sprigged wares

The earliest sprigged wares are not numbered, and are only rarely found with the impressed "Ridgway" mark.

The majority of the Ridgway chariot sprigged wares have the sprig surrounded by a frame with a shell at the top. There are a few, however, that do not have this sprigged frame.

Bone China Mugs

This is not a graduated set of three mugs, indeed I would imagine there is a further size between the largest and middle ones. I purchased them at three different times from three different sources. I thought it best to show all three because of the detail variation in decoration that ocurs between different sizes of the same product.

I regret I have no base shot, but, as usual with these jugs, there are no base markings.

A gilded version. It is difficult to tell if the gilding was added at the factory or by the retailer.

The jug is 140mm tall and 206mm handle to lip. Bone china.

Sprigging without frame.

Pattern 42 shape jug.

This is the first example of this sprigging without the shell frame that can definitely be attributed to Cauldon Place.

I regret I have no direct base shot, but it appears that, as usual with this type of jug, there are no base markings.

Flower pot and stand.

The two main sprigs on the flower pot are known on Ridgway pieces, but usually inside a frame with a shell at the top. Further, Dr. Godden in his Ridgway Porcelains (Woodbridge, 1985), p.66, Plate 63, shows a flower pot and stand with the framed sprigs, but different handles and different proportions. Having said that, a Pattern 42 shape jug exists without the shell frame, the pot stand here has the same sprigging as that in the book, and the pale green overglaze decoration of this piece was often used on Ridgway flatware borders. The mask handles, which are a distinctive marker, are present on Pad-marked Patterns 29 & 30.
