Chamber Pot c1870
Made by G L Ashworth & Bros, makers of Masons Ironstone. There are 11 scenes in the Lake series pattern and all except one were taken from illustrations by William Henry Bartlett published with text as Canadian Scenery, firstly in monthly parts in 1840 and then in 2 volume book form in 1842. Bartlett's views were widely used by potters, including Podmore Walker for their British America series and Morley's earlier partnership Ridgway, Morley & Wear for their Agricultural Vase series (continued by Ridgway & Morley and Morley himself). Lake was printed in blue, both dark and light versions, brown, green, grey, pink, mauve and purple. There was also a version with gilt decoration. The view on this pot is Indian Scene. This lovely pot is printed in a pale shade of blue, with the main pattern around the pot, border pattern to the round foot and around the rim, and unusually the main scene is repeated on the inside the base of the pot also. Backstamp: Ashworth impressed. Small discreet chip to the base of the handle, otherwise excellent condition.
