A … more From the Stoke-On-Trent pottery works of George Jones, a spectacular three piece majolica sardine box, Staffordshire, England, dated 1870.
A must-have piece for every Majolica collection!
In a lovely soft color palette of lilac pink and gray with green acanthus leaves, and a yellow ochre rope border. The lid shows three overlapping sardines on a bed of seaweed. The box has a base of running upright acanthus leaves with a nautical rope border. The under tray is fitted to hold the sardine box and repeats the complimentary border of leaves and roping. A soft pink interior.
The base of the box and under tray are glazed to resemble a mottled tortoise shell. Both pieces are marked – the box with the raised George Jones pad mark, the tray with the “thumb print” bearing a pattern number and the impressed GJ.
Under plate: 8.5 in. L x 7.5 in. W x 1 in. H
Box: 6.0 in. L x 5 in. W x 2.5 in. H
Height: 4 in. H assembled.
In very good antique condition. The expected flaking to the rim of the box, unseen with the lid seated. Minor flea bites to the underside of the lid, unseen when seated. less
