  • MotifsHand-painted floral motifs, Architectural transfer print, Octagonal faceted body, Scalloped rim

Clean antique pottery exclusively by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, and submersion in water for prolonged periods to protect the fragile glaze.

It can be displayed as a standalone decorative accent on a shelf or mantelpiece, or utilised functionally to hold dried stems, adding a splash of heritage colour to neutral or eclectic rooms.

Authenticity is identified through weight, crazing in the glaze, hand-applied brushwork over transfer-printed outlines, characteristic palette choices, and occasional maker marks or pattern names on the base.

These pieces were typically crafted from earthenware or ironstone, featuring a white glaze decorated with a combination of underglaze transfer printing and hand-painted enamel colours, often finished with copper lustre accents.

Gaudy Welsh is a type of colourful earthenware and ironstone pottery produced in Staffordshire and Wales during the 19th century, characterised by bright cobalt blue, copper lustre, and iron-red hand-painted motifs.
