Stunning Rare George Jones Majolica Pink Fox Tray Model 2272 C.1869

19th century
For Sale by The Fancy Fox
Description

A superb and rare George Jones heavy majolica dished tray featuring a fabulous fox creeping out of the foot rim and over the edge and with his tail wrapped around the foot of the dish and curling up over the rim on the other side. The centre has moulded overlapping vine leaves. The tray surface is enamelled with a pale pink ground and finished with an ochre rim. Lovely, very finely modelled detail to the fox facial features, paws and texture of the fur. A striking, fun piece, deserving of a prime display position as well as being enjoyed in use and entertainment.

Marked to the back with black painted model number 2272 over 1 in unglazed thumbprint and diamond registration stamp. This design was registered in 1869, and the lozenge mark shows date letter H for this date also. Reference: George Jones Ceramics 1861-1951, Cluett, plate 38 for another example.

It measures 28.2cm (11 1/8") wide, 24.5cm (9 1/8") deep and 10cm (4") high. 

Condition is excellent: the tips of both ears have been professionally restored and a firing line under the tail has been invisibly filled. No other damage or repair and minimal handling wear.

FAQs

Victorian majolica is a type of earthenware pottery coated with opaque lead-based glazes, popularised in England during the mid-to-late nineteenth century. Characterised by vivid colours and relief designs inspired by flora and fauna, it became a staple decorative item in Victorian homes.

Antique majolica was crafted from earthenware clay molded into relief patterns, fired, and coated with coloured metallic oxide glazes. The glazes fused during a second kiln firing, producing bright, translucent finishes across detailed textured surfaces such as basketweave and foliage.

Authentic pieces typically display crisp molded details, rich glaze depth with fine crazing, and unglazed foot rims showing reddish-buff ceramic paste. Look for impressed manufacturer marks, registration diamonds, or shape pattern numbers on the base.

Display majolica on a sideboard top, mantelpiece, or inside an open display cabinet where light highlights the colourful glaze and textured relief. Pair it with natural greenery or dark wood surfaces to accent its vibrant organic motifs.

Clean majolica gently using warm water and a mild, non-abrasive soap with a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid soaking or placing items in dishwashers, as moisture can penetrate glazed crazing and degrade the porous earthenware beneath.
