Lot 264
An exceptional milk jug and cover, probably Limehouse, circa 1746-48Of simple pear shape with a plain loop handle and sparrow beak spout, the cover with a pointed acorn finial, finely and fully painted in blue with a profuse spray of European flowers, including roses and a carnation, the cover similarly decorated, 10.2cm high (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceWatney CollectionIllustrated by Bernard Watney, English Blue and White Porcelain (1963), pl.44b (as Liverpool) and in the ECC's Limehouse Ware Revealed (1993), p.30, fig.70. This delightful jug would appear to be without parallel both in form and decoration in Limehouse. The attention to detail and quality of the painting is particularly fine, especially given its small size. The pointed acorn finial matches the knops on the covers of several Limehouse teapots, see for example that sold by Phillips as part of the Watney Collection on 22 September 1999, lot 129 and also the coffee pot and cover in the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. no.C.638&A-1924), illustrated by Ray Jones, The Origins of Worcester Porcelain (2018), p.221.There is considerable similarity between the present lot and the 'proto-porcelain' wasters of Pomona. Acorn-shaped finials are also a feature of some of the covers recovered among the wasters found close to the Pomona Inn in Newcastle, Staffordshire. See for example the small teapot cover illustrated by Ray Jones, The Origins of Worcester Porcelain (2018), p.204 where the style of the painting is also remarkably similar to the present lot, and also the mustard pot and cover on p.202. This so-called Pomona porcelain, from Newcastle-under-Lyme, is presumed to be the result of a single kiln firing that failed. It was probably part of an unsuccessful porcelain-making venture and amongst the wasters recovered, the base of a bowl bears the date 1746 (or possibly 1748). Whilst a Limehouse origin for this jug seems most likely at this time, Pomona cannot be ruled out.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 303
A Bow teapot and cover, circa 1754-56Of small size, the globular body with a simple Chinese style loop handle and slightly curved spout, the flat cover sitting flush, painted in blue with an oriental garden, flowering bamboo behind a fence, below a flowerhead and diaper panelled border, feather motifs on the handle and spout, 10cm high (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceWilliams Teapot CollectionElizabeth Adams CollectionIllustrated by Elizabeth Adams and David Redstone, Bow Porcelain (1981), col. pl.K. The decoration is derived from Chinese porcelain but the form recalls silver bullet-shaped teapots, silver shapes being very much copied by English porcelain manufacturers in the mid-1750s. Longton Hall produced a similarly small teapot with the same recessed cover around this time.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 464
A Flight and Barr Worcester sauce tureen, cover and stand from the Sir Robert Peel service, circa 1800Of gently lobed circular form, with bifurcated handles, painted with the crest of a demi-lion rampant, wearing a blue collar and holding a gilt shuttle between its paws, above the cipher 'RP' interrupted by a red hand, reserved on a wide band of gilt foliate scrollwork on a 'Barr's orange' ground, 17.7cm high incised B marks (3)Footnotes:ProvenanceBonhams, 10 December 2008, lot 232Charles Dawson CollectionThis crest and a full coat of arms was granted in 1792 to the industrialist Robert 'Parsley' Peel (1723-1793). The red hand between the initials under the crest indicates this service was ordered by the third son of the grantee, also Robert (1750-1830) who was granted a baronetcy in 1800. The service was probably commissioned soon afterwards to mark his elevation to baronet. It was his son, the future British Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel (1788-1850), who inherited the baronetcy in 1830 together with, presumably, this service.A slop bowl, teapot stand and sucrier from this service and bearing the Peel crest were also offered by Bonhams on 10 December 2008, lots 233-235. However, the present lot is the only piece known showing the gilt cipher, appearing on both sides of the tureen and the stand underneath each crest.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 256
A creamware teapot and cover, circa 1770-75Of cylindrical form with a fluted spout, the ribbed crossover handle with flower and leaf terminals, painted in red, green yellow and purple with a chinoiserie scene depicting an oriental figure beside a large vase grasping a moneybag in his hand, offering it to a figure seated before a table, the reverse with a figure holding a parasol in a garden, within fine moulded beaded borders, the cover painted with floral sprigs around a flower finial, 12cm high (2)For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 269
An exceptionally rare coloured Limehouse sauceboat, circa 1746-48The open vessel with a lobed rim and raised on three lion mask and paw feet picked out in purple, red and salmon-pink, the handle picked out in bright turquoise, the sides with unusual moulded panels that form the basis for European landscapes, one with a gentleman wearing a scarlet coat with a stick standing before buildings and trees, the other with a crenelated building complex, both scenes with a barrel in the foreground, colourful sprays of flowers boldly painted in saltglaze style to the rim and interior, 20.5cm longFootnotes:ProvenanceWatney Collection, Phillips, 22 September 1999, lot 130Illustrated by Bernard Watney, 'Four Groups of Porcelain, possibly Liverpool', ECC Trans, Vol.4, Pt.5 (1959), pl.11c (as Liverpool), by Bernard Watney, 'Limehouse Coloured Ware', ECC Trans, Vol.15, Pt.1 (1993), p.71, figs.28 and 29, in the ECC's Limehouse Ware Revealed (1993), p.48, fig.109, in The Limehouse Porcelain Manufactory, MOLAS Monograph 6 (2000), p.31, fig.20 and cover, and by Nicholas Panes, British Porcelain Sauceboats (2009), p.52, figs.73 and 74. Exhibited in the ECC Exhibition, 2006, no.14 and by Stockspring Antiques, The Early James Giles and his Contemporary London Decorators, 5-17 June 2008, catalogue no.19. In his 1993 ECC paper, Bernard Watney attempted a classification of known coloured Limehouse wares, all of which match European decoration added to Chinese, Japanese and Meissen porcelain and sometimes on Delft. At the time of writing only 21 pieces of coloured Limehouse were locatable, of which nine were sauceboats in three different types all with distinctive lion mask and paw feet.The present sauceboat, together with a teapot illustrated on p.71, fig.27, belongs to Watney's 'European landscapes' group, all of which bear European copies of Chinese export copies of European landscapes. European-decorated Chinese porcelain with this decoration is well-documented and probably painted by the same hand - one such saucer is illustrated on p.71, fig.30. The purple feet and turquoise handle on the present lot are typical characteristics of a distinctive enamelling workshop. Compare also to the Limehouse enamelled salt, lot 268 in this sale. While Bernard Watney felt strongly that this enamelling was Dutch, it is now considered more likely that the 'Scarlet Coated Gentleman' group was the work of Dutch enamellers who had moved to England. A key publication on this subject is Part IV of Bonhams catalogues of the Watney Collection, Chinese Porcelain Decorated in Holland and England, 7 November 2003. The present lot is illustrated in this catalogue, p.9, fig.3. Bernard had formed an exceptional collection and John Sandon's 2003 catalogue led to a fresh examination of Chinese and Limehouse porcelain now believed to be decorated in London. Indeed, Nicholas Panes has even suggested that the figure in a red coat may be a Beefeater outside of the Tower of London.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 353
A Worcester toy or miniature teapot and cover, circa 1756Of attractive small size, painted in blue all around with the 'Warbler' pattern, including a fence, trailing peony branches as a bird among long grasses, panelled diaper borders around the neck and cover, 9.3cm high (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceJoseph Jackson CollectionSimon Spero exhibition, 2001, catalogue no.48Pauline and David Tate CollectionFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 284
A Chelsea teapot and a cover, circa 1750-52Of hexagonal shape, with a straight spout and generous loop handle, painted in kakiemon style with the 'Banded Hedges' pattern, prunus and flowering bamboo issuing from hedges banded in gold, the reverse with a phoenix in flight above further flowers, the cover a later replacement, 14.2cm high (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceElizabeth Adams CollectionIllustrated by Elizabeth Adams, Chelsea Porcelain (2001), p.68, fig.6.5. The phoenix-like 'ho-ho' bird above banded hedges is one of the most prevalent kakiemon motifs used at Chelsea. These striking shapes and designs were perhaps what Nicholas Sprimont was referring to in January 1750 in the Daily Advertiser when he promised his upcoming sale would consists of 'a variety of Services for Tea, Coffee... Dishes and Plates of different Forms and Patterns, and of a great Variety of Pieces for Ornament in a Taste entirely new'. Adams suggests that these 'new shapes' were likely Japan-inspired pieces, often seemingly copied via the Meissen interpretation. Worcester adopted this pattern just a few years later, see the globular teapot from the Ralph Kenber Collection sold by Bonhams on 15 December 2020, lot 101.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 455
A very rare Wedgwood bone china tea service by John Cutts, circa 1812-16Each piece fully painted with named topographical views of Britain, Italy and France, with gilded rims and handles, comprising a teapot, cover and stand, a sugar box and cover, a milk jug, a slop bowl, a plate, ten teacups, ten coffee cans and ten saucers, teapot 24cm long, printed WEDGWOOD marks in red, most with painted titles of the views, some with pattern number 689 (38)Footnotes:John Cutts (1772-1851) was a ceramic painter at the Pinxton factory in Derbyshire who is first recorded painting sample wares at Wedgwood in 1812, where he remained until 1816. A sugar box and cover from a service in the Wedgwood museum known to be painted by John Cutts is illustrated by Robin Reilly and George Savage, The Dictionary of Wedgwood (1980), p.110. The views of Langley Park, Paddington and Saltram on that service appear on three of the pieces in the present lot.The views on the teapot cover, sugar box and cover and one coffee can are untitled, but the titles of the remaining views are as follows:Teapot: 'Maermore [sic] Villa at Narne [sic]'; 'Fort Tolentino Italy'Teapot stand: 'Caversham Park'Milk jug: 'St Botolph's Priory Essex'Slop bowl: 'V.

Lot 278
A Worcester punch pot and cover, circa 1770Of the type known as 'Dr Johnson's Teapot', of plain globular shape with a pointed finial, printed in blue on both sides with the 'Thorny Rose' pattern, the border and cover with fruit and flower sprigs tied by ribbon bows, 20cm high (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceWatney CollectionMassive Worcester punch pots of this distinctive type will be forever associated with Dr Johnson. The reason is an identical teapot preserved at Pembroke College, Oxford, which is believed to have belonged to Dr Samuel Johnson. Indeed, 'Dr Johnson's teapot' was mentioned by Boswell as holding two quarts. See Rosalie Sharp, Ethics and Scandal (2002). Another example was in the Zorensky Collection, see Sandon and Spero, Worcester Porcelain (1996), fig.646.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 267
An important Limehouse punch tureen and cover, circa 1746-48Of circular form raised on four lion mask and paw feet with details picked out in blue, with two elaborate scroll and shell moulded handles, the low domed cover with a twig finial issuing leaves, the sides painted in blue with two tree-lined European landscape scenes, one depicting a bridge with two swans swimming beneath, two figures herding sheep in the distance, one on horseback, the other with a building and two figures before a flock of sheep and a cow, vine leaves between the handle terminals, the cover with a continuous landscape depicting three classical scenes of winged putti, including two with a basket of fruit, one beside a bird in a cage, and one standing having released two birds in flight above, the rim with a scrolled border, a thorny rose spray to the interior and another underneath the cover, 28cm wide across handles, 18.5cm high (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceWatney CollectionIllustrated by Bernard Watney, 'Four Groups of Porcelain, possibly Liverpool', ECC Trans, Vol.4, Pt.5 (1959), pl.7a (as Liverpool), by Bernard Watney, English Blue and White Porcelain (1963), pl.43d (as Liverpool), and on the front and back covers of ECC Trans, Vol.17, Pt.1 (1999) as a tribute to Bernard Watney. These covered tureens were probably the most costly of all Limehouse porcelain and are remarkable not only for their size, but also for the quality of the painting. The distinctive style of painting represented by these bowls is Continental rather than English. It relates to a distinct group of Limehouse dry mustard pots with classical decoration, see lot 265 in this sale. It also relates to a distinct group of large sauceboats with very similar European landscapes and identical rose sprays to the centre, with a single vine leaf to the pouring lips, see lot 266 in this sale. All of these must certainly be by the same hand.It has been suggested that these tureens were intended for serving mulled wine or punch, as all have vine leaves in the spaces and Geoffrey Godden had an example with grapes to the interior. Including the present lot, just five examples are recorded, each apparently painted by the same hand. One of these, lacking its cover but painted with identical European landscape scenes, is in the Mint Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina (inv. no.D1981.99.9). The second example was purchased by Geoffrey Godden from Liane Richards, who had bought it at Sotheby's in 1996. This was sold by Bonhams as part of the Geoffrey Godden Collection on 30 June 2010, lot 42, there purchased by Rosalie Sharp. In her book, China to Light up a House, Vol.1 (2015), p.173, Rosalie Sharp recounts her excitement when she received the piece that she had previously seen only in photographs. Her example had been illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, English Blue and White Porcelain (2004), pp.86-7, col. pls.21 and 22 and pp.99-100, pls.104 and 105. Example number three is in the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. no.C.260&A-1938) and this is also illustrated by Godden (2004), pls.102 and 103 and by Ray Jones, The Origins of Worcester Porcelain (2018), p.218. The fourth example, lacking its cover, is in the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool Museums. The present lot is the only example with a twig finial to the cover.European landscape decoration on Limehouse falls into two distinct groups. One features large and prominent figures, while in the other group represented here, the figures are diminutive with the emphasis on the landscape itself, the scenes framed by trees and buildings. The cottage with a picket fence is a form of decoration which originated at Limehouse but was also used at Lund's Bristol. A Limehouse teapot and cover from the Liane Richards Collection painted with a very similar building is illustrated by Ray Jones, The Origins of Worcester Porcelain (2018), p.226 and was sold by Bonhams on 13 April 2016, lot 95. Another is found on a teapot illustrated (with a Chinese cover) by Rosalie Sharp (2015), p.175, fig.594 and by Jones (2018), p.226.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
