Pair of 19th-century Staffordshire Jasperware Sporting Plaques - Hare Coursing & Fox Hunting (Att. Adams)

19th century
Description

A fine matched pair of 19th-century English blue and white relief-moulded jasperware frieze plaques celebrating the traditional British field sports of hare coursing and fox hunting. Attributed to the renowned Stafforshire pottery of William Adams & Sons, circa 1890.

Each rectangular plaque is finely modelled in crisp white bas-relief against a dead-matt blue stoneware ground. Unlike purely classical Wedgwood subjects, Staffordshire makers such as Adams excelled at lively English country genre scenes. Here, the first plaque depicts greyhounds in full stride coursing a hare between mature trees, while the companion plaque depicts the kill of a fox, with the hounds on the fox as the huntsman approaches.

Both plaques retain their original matching pierced giltwood frames, and are ready to hang.

A charming and decorative pair, ideal for a traditional country house interior, study or drawing room. Equally appealing to collectors of jasperware and lovers of English decorative antiques.

Framed dimensions: 40cm wide x 24cm high x 4cm deep / 15.75" x 9.5" x 1.5"

*International delivery available, please contact us for a quote.*

Condition: both ceramic plaques are in excellent antique condition with no chips, cracks or losses to the delicate hand-applied white relief sprigs. The frames retain an attractive, warm antique gilt patina with minor age-related wear consistent with age. Because the backings were professionally updated to rigid hardboard in the mid-late 20th century to securely suppport the weight of the stoneware, the reverses have not been inspected for impressed factory marks.

This matched pair of 19th-century English wall plaques originates from the Victorian period, attributed to the Staffordshire pottery of William Adams & Sons around 1890. Each rectangular stoneware piece is moulded with crisp white bas-relief figures against a light blue dead-matt ground. One plaque shows greyhounds coursing a hare among mature trees, while the companion plaque depicts a fox hunting scene with hounds and a huntsman. The ceramic plaques sit within deep blue velvet borders and ornate, pierced giltwood frames showing a warm antique patina with minor age-related wear. Each framed plaque measures 40 cm wide by 24 cm high by 4 cm deep. These wall plaques suit traditional English country house interiors, studies, or drawing rooms, mounted above a sideboard or on panelled walls. They bring historical character to a residential setting and appeal to collectors of nineteenth-century jasperware and British sporting art. The items arrive ready to hang with updated rigid hardboard backings supporting the stoneware friezes securely.

FAQs

Developed in England during the late 18th and 19th centuries, jasperware is an unglazed stoneware featuring white sprigged ceramic reliefs set against a coloured matte background, produced by potteries such as Wedgwood and Adams in Staffordshire.

These plaques were created using tinted stoneware clay for the base, onto which detailed white clay bas-reliefs were applied using moulds before firing, and subsequently mounted into decorative frames.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display sharp relief details, a matte porcelain-like texture, appropriate manufacturer impressed marks on the reverse, and period-appropriate mounting materials.

Display framed jasperware plaques as a symmetrical pair on a gallery wall, above a console table, or within an English country inspired interior to add historic texture.

Clean jasperware reliefs using a soft brush or cotton swab, avoiding liquid cleaners on unglazed stoneware, and dust giltwood frames gently without abrasive polishes.
