Rare Early Pre-1800 John Rose Coalport Porcelain Low Chelsea Ewer Cream Jug

18th century
For Sale by The Fancy Fox
Description

An attractive and rare "Chelsea ewer" shape low porcelain cream jug, made in the very early days of John Rose at Caughley or the new Coalport site. The body, in a hard paste, well modelled with spiral fluting and detailed acanthus leaf moulding, raised shaped rim and distinctive shaped handle. Decorated in the New Hall style in bright pastel enamels. Unmarked, c.1796.

References: See Coalport 1795-1926 by Messenger, page 73 for a discussion of the origin of these late Chelsea ewers during the complex Caughley/Coalport transition period, where it is thought more likely these hard paste examples, polychrome decorated, were produced at the new Coalport factory, but it is not conclusive as some hard paste wasters were also found at the Caughley site excavation.

See also: A Cabinet Of British Creamers, Micheal Bertoud, plates 99 and 100 for other examples.

It measures 10.7cm (4 1/4") long, 7cm (2 3/4") wide and 6.5cm (2 5/8") high.

In excellent condition with no damage, repair or restoration and no discernible handling wear. There is a tiny shrinkage line to the side of the handle from manufacture.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A low Chelsea ewer is a specific shape of small porcelain jug introduced in 18th-century England, featuring a low profile, fluted or leaf-moulded lower body, and an elongated spout designed for serving cream with tea.

Early English porcelain jugs were primarily crafted from soft-paste or hard-paste porcelain formulas, finished with clear lead glazes and detailed with hand-painted overglaze enamel decoration.

Authentic period pieces often show slight hand-moulding irregularities, translucent qualities under direct light, wear consistent with age on unglazed foot rims, and hand-painted decoration rather than transfer prints.

Display individual porcelain jugs as accent pieces inside glazed cabinetry, aligned on open shelving, or arranged as part of a curated table vignette alongside neutral glassware and linen.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and mild detergent with a soft cloth, avoiding immersion for long periods, harsh chemical solvents, abrasives, or exposure to rapid temperature fluctuations.
