FAQs

Prattware refers to a type of English earthenware produced primarily in Staffordshire, Yorkshire, and the North East during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, characteristically decorated with underglaze colours such as ochre, blue, brown, and green.

These figures are typically formed from refined earthenware clay, often slip-cast or press-moulded, then hand-painted with metal oxide colours beneath a clear lead glaze before being fired in a kiln.

Authentic pieces exhibit characteristics of early manufacture such as crazing in the glaze, kiln scars on the base, hand-mixed pigment variations, and weight typical of porous earthenware rather than modern vitrified ceramics.

These decorative objects work well when displayed on a mantelpiece, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or styled on a bookshelf to add a touch of historic narrative and traditional craft to contemporary spaces.

Keep the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading, dust gently with a soft, dry brush, and avoid submerging in water or using chemical cleaning agents to protect the fragile historic glaze.
