Maker: Mellor Venables  Pattern:Whampoa
Meat Dish or Platter c1840
Gorgeous small platter printed in a rich dark blue. Backstamp: Whampoa and impressed Mellor Venables Royal Patent. On the front there is a little loss of glaze to the stilt marks, a touch of surface scratching and touch of wear to part of the rim. On the back there is a small manufacturing chip which has been glazed over, so barely noticeable. Overall a fabulous platter.
Dimensions: 31 cm x 25.5 cm / 12.25 ins x 10 ins
Maker: Mellor Venables  Pattern:Whampoa
Cheese Stand c1840
Whampoa as a pattern name comes from China. There are two similar flow blue designs with this name, one by Mellor Venables & Co and the other by the Cambrian Pottery, Swansea. The Swansea version is heavier with less well defined features and there is no boat in the top right of the picture. This well executed example, whilst unmarked, is the version by Mellor Venables & Co of Hole House Pottery, Burslem, Staffordshire, England, in business from 1834 to 1851. This is an absolutely gorgeous cheese stand. The face is as bright and clean as the day it was made. There is a restored small under-rim chip, which just shows to the face. A superb flow blue cheese stand.
Dimensions: 27.5 cm diameter, 6.5 cm high / 10.75 ins diameter, 2.5 ins high
