Dinner Plate c1835
By Thomas Mayer of Cliff Bank Works, Stoke 1826 to 1835 and Brook Street, Longport 1836 to 1838. The pattern is of a prominent classical urn set in a romantic, imaginary landscape. It may have been inspired by Antonio Canova (1757-1822), who was an Italian sculptor working in the neo-classical style. He lived and worked in England for many years and was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy. After his death Countess Albrizzi published The Works of Canova in 1824, which was a catalogue of the sculptures he had created for English patrons.
Mayer's Canova pattern consists of a series of similar, but different views applied to different items.
Tiny blemish in glaze, otherwise lovely condition. Blue printed cartouche of urn on a plinth, which incorporates the words Canova and Stoneware.
Dimensions: 26.5 cm / 10.5 ins

Wash Bowl c1835
Lovely large bowl with wavy rim from a toilet set.
No backstamp, but this pattern is attributed to Thomas Mayer.
There is surface scratching inside, the outer rim is worn and quite pitted. There is a very small chip to the foot which also has signs of wear and under the flared rim there is a small firing crack. Sounds awful but inspite of showing its age is a very pretty bowl!
Dimensions: 33 cm diameter, 12.5 cm high / 13 ins diameter, 5 ins high
