Item Description
A good late 18th century Georgian pearlware bowl in the ‘London shape’ planted with ‘Bridal Crown’ narcissus. Decorated with overglaze enamel flowers and a brown rim. It is hand thrown and quite thinly potted. Dated between about 1800 and 1830. No makers marks. Generally good condition with two faint hardline cracks. Unfortunately the enamel on the green leaves has been rubbed off.
Pearlware is a type of British earthenware developed around 1775–1779, often attributed to Josiah Wedgwood, designed to mimic expensive Chinese porcelain by using a lead glaze with cobalt additives. It is characterized by a "bluish-white" or "pearly" tint, most noticeable where the glaze pools, such as in crevices or on the foot ring. Produced heavily in Staffordshire and other regions from the late 18th to the early 19th century, it was popular for its bright white appearance.
Introduced around 1810–1812, the London Shape was a radical departure from the rounded, globular "Bute" shape that had dominated the Georgian era. It was designed to look more architectural, modern, and sophisticated.
We've planted up with very pretty N. Bridal Crown - a creamy double daffodil. We send them out in bud ready to flower, which they will do for a week or two.
