RARE Australian subject antique Ridgways Royal Vista Ware x 2 pieces
$75
Offered for sale is this antique English Ridgways ‘Royal Vista Ware’ earthenware vase and teacup set, dating from the late 19th/early 20th Century. Based in Shelton, Staffordshire, Ridgways made this quality souvenir range from 1890 to 1914.
Of particular interest is the rare Australian subject matter depicted on the vase - only very occasionally was non-English content produced by Ridgways. Also unusual is the choice of Australian subject – the waterways of Victoria! Depicted is an image of the Yarra River falls at Warburton and jetty at Kalimna in Lakes Entrance. A curious but interesting choice. There is a small chip but no cracks, and this could easily be repaired. Measures 19cm (h) x 10cm (diam.) approximately.
The second item is matching cup and saucer, depicting a quote and image of Abel Fletcher’s historical 14th Century flour mill in Tewkesbery. Gloucestershire. The quote is taken from Dinah Craik's popular novel, 'John Halifax - Gentleman' (1856) with Abel Fletcher providing the inspiration for the important character of the miller. No cracks or chips. Cup measures 7cm (h) and saucer 14.5cm (diam.) approximately.
Please check the pictures as they form part of the item description.
