Prattware pottery clock money box Mexborough Pottery Yorkshire c1800

Dated: 1800 Mexborough Yorkshire

The Prattware pottery money box is in the form of a long case grandfather clock flanked by male and female gardener figures.

The boy wears a black hat, a maroon-colored jacket, a spotted waistcoat, and ochre breeches, and he leans wearily on a spade. The girl is modeled wearing a bonnet trimmed with orange, a blue speckled dress, and an ochre-colored apron.

She stands holding a watering can and basket of flowers. A dog rests at the front of the clock and sits on the green-topped base, which is sponge decorated around the rim with blue, black, and ochre in style associated with the Mexborough Pottery.
