Lot 285:
James Kent Old Foley Staffordshire Earthenware Floral Ginger Jar measuring 18 cm tall
Description
A Staffordshire earthenware ginger jar of traditional ovoid form, complete with a domed pull-off lid. The vessel features a white glaze decorated with a polychrome floral transfer print pattern. The design includes stylized orange peonies or chrysanthemums alongside pink blossoms, yellow flowers, and small blue buds, all set upon dark and light blue stems. A fine gilt line is applied to the rim of the lid.
The underside of the base bears multiple marks: a printed mark in gold/brown depicting a globe topped with a crown, with the globe featuring the name JAMES KENT. Below this is a ribbon banner reading OLD FOLEY, followed by the words STAFFORDSHIRE and MADE IN ENGLAND. Additionally, the word ENGLAND is impressed into the clay body. A separate hand-applied mark in black, resembling a check mark or the number 7, is also present on the base.
