Maker: Unattributed Maker  Pattern:Grazing Rabbits
Jug or Pitcher c1830
It has been suggested that John Rogers & Sons made this popular design, but the evidence for this seems slight and James Keeling has been suggested as a more likely maker. The pattern itself has become strongly collected today and as items turn up only occasionally they are much in demand. This jug or pitcher is overall in good condition, although it appears to have had a "ding" on the side, which resulted in the loss of a small area of glaze internally. There are two firing cracks in the lower handle, which would have occurred during manufacture. Looks lovely on display with the attractive rural scene and the rabbits!
Dimensions: 0.5 ltr 11 cm high / 0.75 pint 4.5 ins high

Dessert Dish c1820
An attractive shape of dish, which is fundamentally oval, but has a side handle and a lip, so could also be considered heart shaped. Decorated in in the rare and collected Grazing Rabbits pattern this is quite delightful. No maker's backstamp. The glaze is finely crazed and has taken up some light staining on the back. There are some minor rubs to the rim from use and the three stilt marks are noticeable on the face. On the handle there is a small area, where the glaze and ink did not quite gel, so looks rather flat. Overall lovely piece in excellent condition, with bright clean glaze to the face.

Toilet Box c1825
Rectangular with cut corners, this is the most exquisite toilet box ever. The size, shape and dimensions are to die for. Add the simple fact that it is decorated with the quality version of Grazing Rabbits and it suddenly gets so much better. The lid has a few glazing blemishes in manufacture and a couple of minor chips to the inner rim. The base has a couple of minor nicks to the inner rim. The glaze on the lid is sound and on the base finely crazed, but with no staining. Frankly, it is difficult to imagine ever finding an example in better condition. Inside the base 06 is impressed and inside the lid 5 is impressed and the same under the base, so clearly these were fired together and numbered to ensure that lid and base ended up together. No makers backstamp.
Dimensions: 17 x 7 cm / 6.75 x 2.75 ins
