About the Item
This pair of 18th-century English creamware wall pockets is hand-painted in the neoclassical style.
Made at Leeds Pottery around 1790, they feature decorative designs in green, blue, and light brown. The molded decoration is raised and showcases a putti (a cherubic figure) holding a flaming brazier, symbolizing winter, with a quiver by his side.
The corresponding wall pocket represents autumn, depicting a putti drinking from a jug, also with a quiver at his side.
An identical pair can be found in the collection of The V&A Museum, with item numbers 414:1166-1885 and 414:1166/A-1885. Both pieces were acquired by The V&A Museum from Lady Charlotte Schreiber's collection (1812-1895), an English aristocrat known for her patronage of the arts and her impressive collection of English porcelain and pottery
Dimensions: 10" tall x 6" wide x 2.5" deep"
Condition: Excellent
Price: $1,100.
An identical pair is also found in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art Kansas City, Missouri collection.
The illustration on page 104 of Prattware by J
G Lewis shows this pair of wall pockets holding dried flowers. The description says, "A boy holding a flaming brazier of fire in high relief, emblematic of winter, a quiver at his side. The other wall pocket represents autumn. Both possibly made at Leeds Pottery, but unmarked."
These wall pockets look beautiful when placed on either side of a painting or a gold leaf mirror. Using a pair of wall pockets to decorate the space flanking a mirror or painting adds an unexpected and charming touch.
