Between 1861 and 1904, the William Ridgway works in Cauldon Place, Hanley were owned by Brown-Westhead, Moore & Co. The shapes and designs favoured by the previous owners remained in active use during this period. The Geranium pattern was registered on 17 March 1847. Items with floral décor were extremely popular with Russian buyers. The Historical Museum has in its collection several plates made by the company to orders from the Brothers Korniloff and Kulkov, intended for sale in specialized stores in St. Petersburg

Donated as part of Pyotr Shchukin’s collection in 1905. 

This Queen’s ware plate with overglaze transfer printing depicts the second medallion from a series on the 1812 French Invasion of Russia. The famous series was created by the artist Fyodor Tolstoy (1783-1873). The plate’s design was based on a book published in 1818, containing prints of all 19 medallions made by the engraver Nikolai Utkin (1780-1863)

Coloured glaze on faience. Height: 7 cm, diameter: 7.5 cm

Entered the Historical Museum collection in 1922 as part of a group of privately owned items submitted for safekeeping during World War One (1914-1918) and never reclaimed

The relief decoration on the mug shows Venus floating in a large shell drawn by dolphins, accompanied by Cupid on a dolphin and the flying Iris, goddess of the rainbow, accompanied by Cupid on an eagle. The group symbolizes the elements of air and water. The decoration was most probably created by a designer from the John Turner factory. Together with Josiah Wedgwood and William Adams, Turner was one of the main pioneers of jasperware production in the second half of the 18th century. Indeed, George and Frederick Rhead have suggested that Wedgwood deliberately instructed Turner in the art of jasperware-making, so as Turner could further improve the practice.¹⁵ Usually regarded as one of Wedgwood’s best-known imitators, Turner nevertheless also developed his own unique subjects, totally unconnected with any of the relief decorations used by the Etruria Works. Such allegorical representations of the natural elements in the form of deities were copied not only by other English factories, but also by Europeans and Russian ones.

Kiev-Mezhegorsky faience factory, Kiev, Russia. 1831

Underglaze transfer printing on faience

The design is based on the print “Ponte del Palazzo” by Elizabeth Frances Batty, from the book “Italian Scenery” published in London in 1820. The prints in this edition gave rise to the Italian Scenery series of transfer-printed designs for dinner services made by John Meir, Enoch Wood & Sons, and Leeds Pottery.

This elaborately shaped teapot is decorated with rich relief-work. The middle of the body features oak boughs with acorns. Above these, a laurel wreath encircles the Prince of Wales’s feathers – the heraldic badge of the Prince of Wales. The spout is in the form of a lion’s head, with the handle in the shape of a dolphin. Just as the lion is king among beasts, in the heraldic sense, the dolphin was considered the king of fishes. The decoration shows Britain’s special status as an empire and a seafaring nation. The top of the lid is shaped like St. Edward’s Crown – the centrepiece of the British regalia, used to crown new monarchs.
