19TH CENTURY ROCKINGHAM GLAZED YELLOW WARE PITCHER WITH SMILING BON VIVANT Please be advised that I am not a dealer. I am an individual selling this beautiful Rockingham Glazed Pitcher that belonged to my mother. I will do my very best to describe the piece. In my opinion, the piece is in absolute wonderful condition. Although, this is an antique piece of pottery, you can see from the photos that the glaze is still very beautiful and in wonderful condition. You would be very pleased to display this piece on your shelf. I did some research on this piece and believe it to be a Rockingham Glazed, Yellowware Pitcher. It stands about 8" high and has a smiling, bon vivant character with his eyes closed. Again, the glaze is beautiful with colors of brown, yellow and green. I have posted (12) pictures that I hope gives you an accurate representation and appreciation for the condition of the piece. I do not notice any serious flaws. There is a VERY small, hairline that is so small it does not show well in the picture. Please see photo #8 for the best picture I could take of the hairline. I do not find any chips or dings. For some history on this type of American Pottery: Rockingham was first produced for the American market by English potters from the Swinton District after 1788. Yellow and Rockingham ware potteries were established in the United States primarily by Staffordshire potters who learned their trade before immigrating to America. The story of these potters and their potteries represents the history of an American industry led by a small number of intelligent, creative, hard working, and skillful individuals. Most American potters from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, and particularly from the pottery center at Bennington, Vermont were producing large quantities of Yellowware by 1830. East Liverpool, Ohio, was the major center for the production of Rockingham and yellow ware during the 1840 and 1850's. In fact it was in East Liverpool that James Bennett created the first American Rockingham ware. The body color can vary from cream to bright yellow. The rich color involved the mixture of manganese and sometimes umber to the glaze. Each factory had its own particular formula. The glaze was variously applied by dipping, brushing, sponging, or with a stick. Most pieces show a mottling effect. The most common technique for applying the glaze from 1847 through 1865 was by spattering or splashing it on with a paddle. The particular worker who was responsible for applying the glaze produced a unique effect satisfying his/her own aesthetic interests. The consequence is that while there may be patterns to the glaze at the level of the artisan, the factory, or perhaps the region, no two pieces of Rockingham or Bennington are exactly alike. This form was most popular from 1840 to 1900. SHIPPING: The item will be shipped within 1-3 business days from close of the auction.
