This Sadler fruit decal design jam pot represents a proud history of white porcelain manufacture in England as well as the tradition of a good English tea! The company, at one phase or another--has always specialized in producing high-quality porcelain teapots and associated tea service items.
This jam pot is 4 inches high with a 2-inch base. It is profuse with decoration! On the front, there is a display of apples and grapes; on the back, pineapple and strawberries. On the top, there are cherries and peaches--covering all of the known possibilities of jam flavors, no doubt! It has the "Sadler England" impress on the bottom and is in excellent condition. (For a bit of history: Sadler & Co. and James Sadler & Sons Ltd. are parts of the same company history. James Sadler established the company in 1882. By the 1890s, Edward Sadler joined the business, and the company moved to Wellington Works in Burslem. In 1920 they joined with the business of John Sadler (James' son), the Central Pottery, in Burslem and consolidated their factories, becoming the Wellington and Central Potteries, which remained in business until 2000. James Sadler & Sons Ltd. began making brown-glazed teapots at its inception in 1882 from locally available red clay, but it was the Rockingham style teapots known as "Brown Bettys" made from white clay that established the reputation we know today. Edward Sadler travelled and established markets for his father's wares throughout what had been the British Empire, from South Africa to the United States. After a tour in America, he became inspired to produce the "Brown Betty" collectible teapots for which Sadler became famous and represented all things British. In the 1920s, Edward also modernized the factory on his return from America, which included installing the company's first tunnel kiln in 1934. Between and after the world wars, the company also produced many unusual and novelty teapots, including a hexagon spoutless teapot in 1823, crinoline lady teapots in the 1930s, a racing car in 1938, Father Christmas in 1939, and Winston Churchill in a tank in 1947. These extended the company's excellent reputation and are highly collectible today. In April 2000 Churchill China purchased the Sadler name, designs, and archive. It has retained the Sadler name as a separate brand entity with manufacturing at the Churchill Cobridge factory. Current wares are of the same high quality and imaginative design as those of earlier times.)
