Beautifully aged blue and white English pottery with the timeless appeal of the Blue Onion pattern. This substantial round Grimwades piece dates to the early 20th century and has a wonderful crackled glaze that gives the surface genuine antique character.
Made by Grimwades in Stoke-on-Trent, England, the piece is decorated in the company's Carro pattern, its interpretation of the traditional Blue Onion design. The flowing cobalt-blue decoration combines stylized flowers, foliage and fruit-like motifs against a warm ivory ground. Carro is a documented Grimwades pattern and appears across a range of the company's table and decorative wares.
Originally made as a covered vessel, its lid is no longer present. The broad rounded body and 2.5-inch opening make the remaining piece especially attractive repurposed as a vase for flowers or dried stems, as a decorative planter or simply displayed among a collection of antique blue and white ceramics.
The extensive fine crazing visible throughout the glaze is consistent with its age and adds beautifully to the softly aged appearance.
Details:
Era: Circa 1920s–1930s
Material: Glazed earthenware
Condition: Good antique condition with extensive age-related crazing and surface wear. Small chip to the underside foot as shown. Original lid is missing.
Dimensions: 6 in diameter × 3.5 in H; 2.5 in opening
