Large Minton Porcelain Vase, “Crazy Cow” / “Bengal Tiger”, Pattern 106, C.1805

19th century
Description

A rare early Minton porcelain vase of lobed oval form on a raised foot, decorated in a vivid Imari-style palette of iron-red, cobalt and green enamels. The centre reserves the celebrated “Crazy Cow” (a.k.a. “Bengal Tiger”) within a cobalt medallion; base painted 106. Among the highest-value English porcelain decorations, Crazy Cow ranks with Dragon in Compartment for desirability—here made rarer still by the large, unusual oval form with scalloped rim and dense flower-scroll interior.

FAQs

Minton Pattern 106, historically known under titles such as Crazy Cow or Bengal Tiger, is an early nineteenth-century English ceramic decoration produced around 1805. It features stylized botanical motifs inspired by East Asian Imari wares, executed in vibrant overglaze enamels.

Early Minton porcelain was crafted using soft-paste porcelain or early bone china formulations poured or pressed into plaster moulds. After an initial biscuit firing, the body was glazed, fired again, and finished with hand-painted enamel decoration before a final low-temperature kiln firing.

Authentic pieces often carry hand-painted pattern numbers, such as 106, rendered on the underside in enamel. Additional indicators include hand-drawn line variations, soft glaze wear consistent with age, and the characteristic translucency of early English porcelain bodies.

A footed porcelain dish functions as a refined centrepiece when positioned on a dining table, sideboard top, or console table. It can be displayed empty to showcase internal hand-painted patterns or paired with neutral decorative accents to balance vibrant colour palettes.

Clean early porcelain using lukewarm water and a small amount of neutral soap applied with a non-abrasive cloth. Do not soak the object or subject it to hot water, mechanical washing, or harsh chemicals, as these will degrade delicate overglaze enamels.
