Victorian Framed Collection of Pratt Ware Pot Lids, C.1880

19th century
Description

An impressive and highly decorative collection of 35 Victorian Pratt Ware pot lids, attractively displayed within a bespoke giltwood mount and enclosed by an elegant swept giltwood frame. Dating from around 1880, the collection offers a fascinating glimpse into Victorian life and taste through its diverse range of colourful and finely detailed scenes.

The lids depict a wide variety of subjects, including famous buildings, notable personalities of the period, country houses, rural pursuits, horse racing, fishing, and scenes of everyday domestic and working life. Renowned for their vibrant colours and exceptional detail, Pratt Ware pot lids were produced by the celebrated Pratt factory and remain highly sought after by collectors today.

The collection has been carefully arranged within a purpose-made mount, creating a striking visual display that combines historical interest with strong decorative appeal. Most of the lids are in good condition for their age, although several examples show historical wear consistent with age and use, as illustrated in the accompanying photographs.

A rare and eye-catching Victorian wall display, this substantial framed collection would make an impressive focal point in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

Originating in 19th-century Britain, these ceramic lids were manufactured primarily by F. & R. Pratt of Fenton to seal pots containing pomades, pastes, and preserves, decorated with transfer-printed pictorial scenes.

They were crafted from earthenware using multi-colour underglaze transfer printing techniques, creating detailed narrative scenes before being glazed and fired.

Authentic pieces exhibit fine line detail from copperplate engravings, multi-colour underglaze registration marks, and natural crazing or minor manufacturing variations consistent with late 19th-century production.

Mounting a framed ceramic collection above a sideboard or console table creates an engaging visual focal point in a hallway, dining room, or study.

Dust the gilt frame gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding water or chemical solvents on the gilding, and display away from direct heat and excessive humidity.
