Phillips & Bagster Yellow Ware Stag Hunt Pitchers, Hound Handles, Rare Regency Set C. 1820

19th century
Description

An exceptional and important graduated set of three early 19th-century English yellowware pitchers, made by Phillips & Bagster around 1820. These are among the earliest examples of their kind and represent the finest quality in the genre, preceding later American imitations by several decades.

Each pitcher features a bold high-relief stag hunting scene moulded in detail around the body, with sculptural hound-form handles rising from the collar. Two of the pitchers are clearly signed “PHILLIPS & BAGSTER” in raised lettering at the collar, confirming the maker.

The largest of the three showcases the most complex construction, made in five separate parts: a two-part moulded body, separate applied foot, and a two-piece moulded hound handle. It features a total of 12 moulded animals in active poses. This degree of technical complexity and sculptural detail places these pitchers in the category of highly collectible English pottery.

These pieces are documented in museum collections and reference works such as Yellow Ware: The Transitional Ceramic by Lisa McAllister (Book II). Seldom do full graduated sets survive intact, especially in this condition.

Perfect for collectors of early English ceramics, hunting-themed pottery, yellow ware, or decorative utilitarian vessels of the Regency period.

FAQs

Yellow ware is a heavy earthenware or stoneware pottery made from buff-coloured clay, widely produced in early nineteenth-century England. Regency examples frequently feature relief-moulded sporting, naturalistic, or hunting scenes finished with clear glazes.

These pitchers were produced using plaster-of-Paris moulds into which liquid clay slip or plastic clay was pressed. This technique allowed potteries to replicate intricate low-relief designs and sculpted handles, such as greyhounds or foxhounds, consistently across graduated sizes.

Authentic Regency examples feature crisp relief moulding depicting sporting themes, three-dimensional hound-shaped handles, and a distinct buff or pale yellow earthenware body. Marks from makers such as Phillips & Bagster or impressed registration numbers may also be present near the base.

A graduated set of yellow ware pitchers can be displayed together on a sideboard, dresser, or kitchen island to highlight their varying proportions. They function effectively as decorative standalone items or as vessels for dried botanical arrangements.

Clean earthenware jugs gently by hand using tepid water and a mild detergent, taking care not to submerge items with unglazed bases. Avoid mechanical dishwashers and abrasive sponges to prevent damage to the moulded relief details and clear glaze.
