Antique Late 1800s Thomas Forester Majolica Bread Tray RARE
$420
SHIPPING OFFERED
A rare late 19th Century Thomas Forester Majolica Bread Plate with a delightful and colourful wheat, berry and leaf design in excellent antique condition.
Thomas Forester & Sons was a pottery manufacturer based in Longton, Staffordshire, UK. The company started as Thomas Forester in the 1870s and appeared in the Pottery Gazette regularly during the 1880s, specialising in Victorian majolica and earthenware. The company was one of the largest producers of majolica in England in the late 1800s and had showrooms in London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna.
Victorian majolica was decorated with coloured lead glazes. It was hard-wearing with surfaces moulded in relief with vibrant translucent glazes, naturalistic styles and often an element of whimsy. Very little of Forester’s early majolica was marked so most information on his work comes from the company’s illustrated advertisements in the Pottery Gazettes of that time.
In excellent antique condition. In some small areas the coloured glaze does not meet completely allowing the paler pottery colour to show through. It measures 35cm x 29cm x 6cm deep with no cracks, crazing or restoration. Delightfully colourful, naturalistic, shiny and weighty, a collector’s talking point.
Also listed elsewhere.
