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