 | Maker: Ridgway Pattern:India Vase
Meat Dish or Platter c1820
By John & William Ridgway of Hanley active 1814 to 1830. The Ridgway brothers had a liking for pattern names that began India, rather than Indian. Their India Vase is an unusual, slightly surrealistic design, with a large urn type vase with flowers and two large exotic birds, all set against a background of flowing river and falls, with extensive ruin and hills beyond. It is printed in a vibrant blue with the clever use of dark and light tones to give a great sense of perspective.
Blue printed leaf cartouche, containing the words India Vase and Opaque China.
A few signs of age and use, with a small area of fine crazing to the glaze, but this is in extraordinarily good condition. Shines like new. Magnificant in size and appearance.
Dimensions: 54.5 x 42.5 cm / 21.5 x 16.75 ins

Drainer c1825
By John & William Ridgway of Hanley active 1814 to 1830. The Ridgway brothers had a liking for pattern names that began India, rather than Indian. Their India Vase is an unusual, slightly surrealistic design, with a large urn type vase with flowers and one or two large exotic birds, all set against a background of flowing river and falls, with extensive ruin or castle and hills beyond. There appear to be two different views and there may be more in the series. It is printed in a vibrant blue with the clever use of dark and light tones to give a great sense of perspective.
No maker's backstamp. Large impressed 14.
In places the glaze has pooled a little in manufacture, minor rubbing and wear to rim, a few tiny patches of crazing, although generally the glaze is sound. A charming piece.
Dimensions: 30 cm x 20.5 cm / 11.75 ins x 8 ins
