Fine 18th & 19th Century Antique Porcelain and Pottery

Collectors of porcelain and pottery have an unrivalled opportunity to observe the full range of materials and techniques developed down the centuries. Primitive processes directly traceable to the Middle Ages were still being applied on a commercial scale in the 19th Century. Many techniques of the 18th century remain the basis of manufacture and ornament to this day.

The following pages show the general course of ceramic design of the period and especially the revivals and adaptations and wholly new ideas of the prolific 19th century.

From the examples listed on our site you can see the simple outlines of the 1740s-50s, the mid18th century development of a delight in rococo and chinoiserie fantasy, the pseudo-classical interest in the 1760s, revived heavy-handedly at the end of the century, the substantial shapes of the Regency, the late Georgian revival of chinoiserie and rococo again. Also you must note the "Elizabethan" and "Gothic" romanticism of early Victorians, the naturalistic excesses of the mid-19th century and the phase of statuesque ceramics-white figures, white relief-moulded jugs. From the early 1870s onwards there was an enthusiasm for all things Japanese and at the century's end a curious mixing of Victorian Japanese and Victorian 'Renaissance, heralded as L'art nouveau.

In order to satisfy the increasing demand from collectors and enthusiasts at all levels the range of collectable items has widened enormously to include a dazzling array of affordable "china" that was once in every day use, from the humble cup and saucer to the jam pot and ewer.

No collection is perfect. Some people can purchase an object as an opportunity and purse permit, others tend to specialize in order to build an important collection showing the whole range of a specific subject and its development. Today, however there is a third class of collector - the investor, who buys not only because of great love of the subject but also to seek a hedge against inflation and the lowering the value of the money and savings.
