Product description
Superb large antique slipware/Plant pot, English majolica, attributed to Joseph Holdcroft, circa 1870-1880. Slightly flared circular shape resting on four feet, with a beautiful naturalistic relief decoration of large water lily leaves, white flowers and buds on a brown background, in rich shades of green, with a pink/mauve enameled interior and yellow border. Pierced at the bottom for drainage and accompanied by its large matching saucer. The pot retains an old label under the base from the Toulouse dealer Eugène Trapé, "cristaux, porcelaines et objets de fantaisie, rue d’Alsace-Lorraine à Toulouse". Unsigned work, corresponding to Joseph Holdcroft's majolica productions from the Victorian period.
26.5cm maximum height for the pot and saucer set, approximately 21-22cm height for the pot alone without the feet, 31cm maximum diameter, approximately 26.5-27cm internal diameter at the top, 39cm diameter for the saucer. Pot in very good general condition, with a slight, lightly encrusted exterior patina deposit. The stopper at the bottom of the pot is not watertight. The saucer has an old staple repair across its entire width, the crack remaining quite discreet. Approximately 4kg for the pot and 1.2kg for the saucer.
