Featured Royal Dalton in Green .

Picked this up today and thought it really fit the part . Actually I didn't even know Dalton came in this color , but it really stands out in Green and looked pretty old . Was trying to do some research on the maker mark and guess "Watteau" is a line they made . But still couldn't find the marking online to date it. Anyhow, hope you like it, and any further input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again ..Size 8"x 8 "

 

There's a typo in your title. It's D-o-u-l-t-o-n not Dalton. And Watteau after the French painter and the type of bucolic courting scenes he was known for.

Debora,
I appreciate it ! Sometimes auto correct screws me up ...Do you know the age of this ? Thanks !

 

Not a clue, Kerim, but sure someone else will be able to help.

I found this info: this mark was used c.1891-1902.

One such popular pattern produced during the years 1890–1910 was call “Watteau”, an attractive scenic transfer with romantic figures gathered in natural setting:

Yup, early twentieth. Jardinière.

 

Thanks Poppies , but all those examples are in Blue . Was trying to find some info on the Green color pattern . Was it more limited ? Or rare ? ...At lease I know the ballpark on the date ..

 

I wouldn't call it rare, but blue and white combinations were likely most popular. Variations in transfer ware colours included green and brown. Earlier in the 19th c, mulberry was popular, too.

 

This says "rare" but could mean less popular and doesn't necessarily mean more valuable.

Sadly, that star crack will massively diminish its value.

 

Saw that. At least it's not on the other side of it.

 

What a pity it's cracked on the bottom! A jardiniere needs to be able to hold water... have you tested it? Fill it with water and place it on a towel for 24 hours, see if the towel gets damp.
I have a vintage English pottery vase with what I thought was a little insignificant cracking on the bottom. I found out it wasn't so insignificant when I put water and flowers in it... very slow leakage and water on the table.
Lovely piece!

 

I'll try It out tonight. Thanks for the tip !

 

If you want to use it, you could put a plastic saucer inside, or a piece of thick plastic. Or even varnish it inside.

 

Put water inside with paper towel underneath last night . Waited till 10am no water at all on the paper towel . Happy with that at least ..
