- A nearly-200-year-old antique transferware gem in the pattern known as “Boy in the door”
- “A distinct type of English filled-in transfer
on pearlware appeared for a brief period in
the 1820s, during the reign of George IV,
made by some 17 small factories.
Predominately jugs and mugs, they stand
out with their brightly enamelled colouring
on deep blue backgrounds, with transfer
patterns that reflect the popular taste for
Chinoiserie at the time. Of this filled-in
transfer type on pearlware, the most
common and widely copied pattern is ‘Boy
in the door’” Resource —www.transferwarecollectorsclub.org - Bottom maker’s mark suggests that this piece was made by Baggerley & Ball of Longton
(1822–1836) - This fab find is in great antique condition (Stand not included). It measures approximately 3.5" H x 5.25" L x 3.75" W
