Prattware Roger Giles Pepper Pot, C. 1830.

18th century
Description

Staffordshire Prattware pottery Roger Giles pepper pot, c. 1830. This is possibly the most explicit of all the Roger Giles pepper pots I have seen, if you find certain subjects distasteful , please do not view all of the images.

Modelled as the man sqatting down, to perform a function, and set upon a square base. His hat pierced, whilst the base has an aperture to receive the pepper.

Decorated in Pratt glazes.

Whilst Roger Giles advertised that he laid his own eggs, it is clear from this example, that not all of the ceramic versions, truly reflected his claim. Rather, they are representative of the bawdy nature of the humour enjoyed at the time.

Height – 12cm, 4 3/4”.

Condition – Chip to footrim. Otherwise in excellent condition. No restoration.

Declaration

Philip Carrol Antiques has dated this Prattware Pepper Pot to the Georgian era.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Prattware refers to earthenware and pearlware produced in England between roughly 1780 and 1840, characterised by relief moulding and a distinct palette of underglaze high-temperature colours such as cobalt blue, ochre, orange, green, and manganese brown.

These items were predominantly crafted from earthenware with a pearlware glaze containing cobalt for a slight blue tint, painted by hand using mineral-based underglaze oxides before firing.

Authentic pieces feature sharp relief detail, a light pearlware glaze that often pools blue in crevices, distinctive earth-tone underglaze colours, and subtle age-appropriate crazing or wear to the unglazed base.

Small antique figural ceramics make ideal accent pieces when curated on a glazed display cabinet shelf, arranged along a chimney breast mantelpiece, or styled alongside modern cookery books in a contemporary kitchen.

Dust gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush, and avoid immersing porous earthenware in water or using abrasive chemical cleaners which can penetrate glaze crazing and stain the underlying body.
