George Jones Strawberry dish English ceramic majolica Liberty 1800 19th Minton

Description: MEASURES:Main tray: Height: 6,5 inch; Width: 12 inch; Depth: 7 inch CONDITIONS:Perfect in every way. Item description:Fabulous tray with bowls and ladles for strawberries and cream or other sauces, in vitrified majolica ceramic, modeled and decorated entirely by hand. Made and signed with an incised mark under the tray, by the very famous English manufacturer George Jones & Sons around the end of 1800. Finally, the catalog number is present in red. The service consists of a large tray, two bowls for sauces and two ladles, for a total of 5 pieces. The service is made in full Liberty - Art Noveau style, with barbotine flowers, classic shape and color of this artistic movement. Each item in the service has been entirely modeled by hand and note the brilliant vitrification that indicates the use of enamels rich in feldspars.Useful information for the evaluation of the object:In the last photos, immediately below this description, we have put some of the marks used by the factory, including ours used between 1881 and 1891, and the photo with historical information on the factory for those who want to learn more. Then we have put the same strawberry service, in a version however more worked with barbotine and with a different color, published in a volume on the majolica of Georges Jones published by Schiffer in 1998, valued at 2700-3100 pounds, but considering the inflation from 1998 to today we are talking about a value certainly much higher. Then we have put a vase estimated at 1500-2500 $ sold for 5000 $ (6500 considering the auction rights) and another strawberry service sold I would say "badly" at 3500 $ plus rights on an estimate of 4000-6000 $ by Christie's. Finally a teapot sold at auction for over $56,000, plus auction fees. All this to give an idea of the importance of this English manufacture.Information on artist and/or manufacturer:A manufacturer of earthenware, majolica and porcelain in Stoke-on-Trent, at the age of 14 George Jones began a seven-year apprenticeship with Minton. After completion in 1844 he worked as a travelling salesman for Wedgwood. George began production around 1861, as George Jones & Co. From 1872 instead, he began the production of porcelain. In 1873 the two eldest sons, Frank Ralph Jones and George Henry Jones became partners in the business which was renamed George Jones & Sons. "Crescent" was registered as a trademark for the new company. At that time the company employed 590 people. In 1957 George Jones & Sons Ltd ceased trading and in 1959 the Crescent works were demolished.

In fact, the asking price is always as low as possible, considering how much the item was paid for and the eBay commissions (for the sale, payment and any currency exchange: from a minimum of 15% to a maximum of 21% , according to the country in which the advertisement was made). For each object there may be multiple advertisements in different countries: USA, Italy, France, United Kingdom, etc. Any price differences are due only to changes in the exchange rate of the various currencies between when we made the advertisement and when you see it.

SHIPPING WORLDWIDE - RETURN ALWAYS ACCEPTEDThe cost of packaging is also calculated in the shipping cost, and everything has increased by 19% because both ebay and paypal also take fees on the shipping cost. OUR SHIPMENTS:.Our shipments cost a little more than the average, but they are all shipments with professional packaging. Double box with a lot of bubble wrap around the object and a lot of soft material in the large cavities on all sides between the two boxes.
