 | Maker: Barker Sutton and Till Pattern:Royal Cottage
Drainer c1835
This drainer is attributed to Barker, Sutton & Till of Sytch Pottery, Burslem active 1832 to 1846, although this design was also produced by their later partnerships, as well as other makers, so attribution cannot be certain.
The Royal Cottage depicted is in Windsor Great Park and was largely built and designed for George IV, when he was Prince Regent. It is better known today as a favourite home of the Queen Mother and it is here she died.The pattern re-appeared in the 20th Century, when it was rather oddly renamed Tonquin.
No maker's backstamp.
The glaze is finely crazed, with a hint of associated staining here and there, which is mainly visible on the back. One tiny nick on rim and on a couple of the holes. All really minor, as drainers do not come much better than this.
Dimensions: 33.5 cm x 24.5 cm / 13.25 ins x 9.75 ins
