Featured Old Staffordshire ?

Found this in the wild of East Portland, and even though it was bashed, for $6 I thought our UK friends might get a kick out of it !
Judging by the crackle on it, I'm thinking it could be 19th century ?
PS-Just wanted to share (may donate to a fave thrift).We actually don't see much of this stuff out here (least I don't).

 

yeah i think so buddy, crazing can be a good thing and a bad thing with staffordshire, but this looks natural (not darkened)

the gilding looks dark/darkened gold which it should de compared with repros

the little birdies a nice touch as well

usually the early ones are the sharpest/finest, then slowly decreased in quality as the same moulds were reused

id put this mid to late 19th c, theres another example of yours maybe a little finer, so maybe a little earlier

 

Thanks for the FB Charlie-I thought it was older but you never know ? I'd imagine there's gobs of repros over in the UK.

 

oh yeah.......might have even bought one or two when starting out

i would definitely put yours in the 19th century, but couldn't pinpoint.
i used to have a good link somewhere where you can pinpoint by colours/glaze etc

will try and dig out for ya

I was thinking more continental. German perhaps? The clobber should give it away but I know nish about that.

 

Chin-I know nothin' about UK ceramics,but the internerds say this was produced by the Thomas Parr factory in Staffordshire, England (?).

 

Oh okay. Shows what I knows

 

Oh, no... yet another thing to add to my bucket list!

 

Thanks for that link Chas-got some excellent closeups and tips on Repros.
