Featured Glazed jasperware jar

Hello all

I bought this pretty little jar yesterday but I'm not sure what to call it. Or how old it is. Or where it is from. Glazed jasperware would be my amatuer attempt at naming the style, doesn't get any results on Google though

Around 5" tall

 

My first thought was Mocha Ware upon seeing the checkerboard decoration.

But I don't know that I've ever seen it with "jasperware" decor.

I'm sure others will be able to ID it properly.

 

Cream Ware?.........

Pearl Ware?

 

None of the above?????

I'll be as anxious as you Ratsy to know what it is!

 

it's called sprigged ware. Probably English, early 19th or before. There's a very good Facebook page for this stuff. If my brain weren't fried with the heat, I'd remember the maker (s).

 

Sprigged Ware! I shall google!

TY Owned..........I learned something new.....and hopefully I'll remember it too!

 

Dudson pottery did the black and white "Gordon" pattern and was also known for its jasper ware. The pieces were not marked Dudson but sometimes marked Patent Mosaic. I'm getting this info from Audrey Dudson's book "A Pottery Panorama", but I'm not finding any photos online that resemble your piece. Check to see if the bottom of your piece is marked, usually on or near the rim. I'm not saying your lovely piece is Dudson, but it looks very similar to the type of jasper ware they produced 1870s to 1880s.

 

I can't help, but I think it's beautiful. Let me know if you're selling it.

 

Not all Dudson is marked, I've some early pieces that aren't. Some have a pad mark. I still can't remember who I'm thinking of!

 

I can't help either.....but I can't help staring at it.....it's wonderful !!!!!

 

Thanks everyone, I think late 19th Sprigged Ware is the winner. I can't find anything similar yet but will keep looking and report back.

Definitely no marks, I checked everywhere. Isn't going to be worth too much, lots a fleabites, a hairline crack and a repaired lid, but pretty nonetheless and has encouraged me to do some research.

 

whatever the value...it's a great shelf sitter !!!!

 

It's earlier than that. Stick it on the Sprigged Jugs Facebook page, see what they say.

 

As Owned says, it's earlier. It's probably pearlware or similar and it's a type of dipped ware with applied sprigs.

I've got a similarly made jug without the sprigs.

Here are a few photos from the book "Mocha and related dipped wares, 1770-1930" by Jonathan Rickard. They all date to the last of the 18th Century.

 

If you’re not on FB, I’ll snag the photos and post for info on the group page.

 

Thanks for the offer, I haven't used Facebook before but they accepted me in their group so I'll give it a shot, will report back soon.

@say_it_slowly thanks for those photos and info, hopefully I can find a maker
