Featured Little pebble finish pottery

This little pebble finish pottery piece is about 2 inches tall. It looks like there is a gold 25 mark on the underside. I am wondering if this is an old Staffordshire piece or something else, and is there a name for this type of surface treatment? Thanks!

 

Those little novelties are often Austrian or German. Late 19th ish.

 

Thanks OBB

 

You sometimes find gravel ware used as a term for some old pottery with this surface but I think usually a bit different type body etc. I've seen some say frit ware also. I'd say it's different than sand majolica but the surface is similar if you search that way.

 

Thanks SIS, gravel was the word I needed. Using gravel / gravelware / sand gravel as search terms did yield some results. Mostly jugs and pitchers, a few figures. Nothing really like this weird little hat vase, but still very helpful.

 

In searching "sand majolica" I found a description on etsy saying that the word "barbotine" is a term used for the type of flower application that this appears to be. The sand majolica does appear to be similar but different to the item in the original post. I'm just commenting on the "barbotine" term.

"Barbotine is the French for ceramic slip, or a mixture of clay and water and used in slip casting. This technique was employed in 19th century French and American pottery. Slip or barbotine is cast in molds to form three-dimensional decorative sections which when dried out are added to the main vessel.Typically, flowers, fruit, or small animals."

Here's how a Wikipedia article explains barbotine. Now I'm not positive if it is the same.

I'd honestly not call this barbotine flowers. Gravel ware for the rough bits, yes.

 

Okay, thanks! I'll leave my post as is, anyway.

 

I usually think of gravel ware more like this on an earthenware body.

 

My little flower looks kind of crude compared to most of the flowers that come up in a barbotine search. Thanks for the idea Fig.
