Rare antique English Creamware Greatbatch Fruit Basket Tea Cannister in coloured under-glaze with metallic oxides, c1770-82. Molded and heightened in teal blue, green, ochre and manganese brown underglaze oxides on either side with an arrangement of fruit, within C-scrolls issuing grape clusters and above a basketwork border.
Literature: "Most fruit basket wares were colored to some degree. When the ware was in biscuit state, the molded fruit within the basket was picked out in yellow, brown, green, and grey...as can be seen in the photographs here. Colors were applied under-glaze in the form of metallic oxide slips which flowed upon being glazed and fired. Even so, the method of application is not always disguised. The colored slips were painted on to the pot in short brush-strokes sometimes, but not always, respecting the outline of the fruit. Source: Pages 243 and 244 "William Greatbatch: A Staffordshire Potter" by David Barker.
Measures 4" tall, 3.25" wide and 2.5" deep. Tight non structural hairline that runs along one side of the collar for the lid onto the shoulder. Some non structural hairlines on the underside of one corner. Please see photos for condition issues. No nicks, dings, fleabites or other issues.
