Creamware Chestnut Covered Baskets and Stands with Figural Finial.
Marked Heath.
Circa 1800-1790.
The shaped oval four-lobed basket has entwined double handles to each side with leaf terminals. The body is moulded with a series of stylized four-leaf flower heads within shaped hexagonal panels. There is a very narrow band of a rope-work border to the rim. The openwork cover and the closed border match with a pattern of elongated double flower heads. The finial is an applied large figure of a child resting his head on a basket of fruit.
Dimensions: 11 inches long x 9 inches deep x 6.5 inches high.
Mark: On the base of one stand there is an impressed mark reading "Heath".
This mark is for John Heath, Sytch Pottery, Burslem, Staffordshire. See: Encyclopedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks, Geoffrey A. Godden, Page 318.
Reference: "Creamware and other English Pottery at Temple Newsam House, Leeds, A Catalogue of the Leeds Collection" by Peter Walton, see Page 136, # 539, for a very similar basket with a finial of a child kneeling by a basket of fruit.
