Pleased to offer this early piece of American ironstone. On the bottom, it is hallmarked with the name "Coxon & Co." in brown, dating it between 1863-1884.Coxon & Co. Background : The firm of Coxon & Co. was established in 1863, in Trenton, by Charles Coxon and J. F. Thompson. Mr. Coxon had been a modeler at the pottery of Edwin and William Bennett, Baltimore, for about 12 years. Their products were cream‑colored ware and white granite. The mark was a badge with the American eagle in the centre and the name of the firm in a ribbon beneath, printed in black under the glaze. Mr. Coxon died in 1868, and the pottery was operated for a time by his widow and four sons, John, Charles, Frank and Jonathan, all practical potters. In 1876 they made pieces decorated with printed views of some of the Centennial buildings. About 1884 the works were sold to Alpaugh & Magowan, who gave them the name of the Empire Pottery.It is stunning! Very statuesque & tall. Embossed roping decorates the handle and cascades down to the front. Beautiful, curving shape. Likely once had a matching basin. In very good condition with crazing and kiln marks. There is a slight hairline on the bulbous portion but it doesn't effect the structural stability. Otherwise, no chips or cracks. Measures approximately 13" tall x 8" wide from handle to spout.Please look through
