Item History & Price

| Original/Reproduction: Original | Maker: Fulham Pottery |

A fantastic small saltglazed stoneware bottle of globular form with a short stubby neck with rolled-over rim; the handle attached at the base by means of a circular impression; the top half washed in an attractive ferruginous ‘dip'; London, Fulham Pottery, circa 1780.
This particular form of bottle is illustrated in Chris Green John Dwight's Fulham Pottery (1999), p. 154 no. 318. It has the same sloping neck and neatly rolled-over rim which was presumably so f...ormed to accommodate a wire tie for the bung. Green dates this type to circa 1740-75 (p.151).
The bottle is 6 5/8 inches tall. The top half has a rich, almost lustrous ferruginous dip while the bottom half has a light amber colored slip. The handle has a typical Fulham flattened shape with a light channel down the center and is fixed to the body at the lower end with a circular depression which looks like it was made with a special potter’s tool.
The condition is excellent with no chip, no cracks, and no restoration. This is a fabulous item if you love to collect or deal in English saltglazed stoneware and a great decorative piece - we hope you like it and good luck with your bid!
