What does earthenware cover on Sellingantiques?

It runs from Staffordshire figures and blue-and-white tablewares through tin-glazed delft, faience and majolica to Satsuma and plain utility crocks and bowls. Almost everything is a decorative or table object of the 18th to early 20th century. British domestic pottery dominates the titles, with Staffordshire alone in 215 of 768. A small tail of art and studio pottery exists alongside it.

Why are so many pieces sold in pairs?

Figures were made and sold facing one another for a mantel or chimneypiece, so matched sets survived together. Pair appears in 125 titles, about one in six. Much of that is Staffordshire dogs, spaniels, greyhounds and poodles. Pairs also sit higher in the range than comparable singles.

How old is the earliest earthenware listed?

The dated field starts at 1700, but the sampled titles go well past it. Pre-Columbian and Persian vessels appear, along with Chinese Han and Tang tomb pottery and a Syro-Hittite figure said to be around 2000 BC. Those are single appearances rather than a steady supply. The bulk of the category sits in the 19th century.

What is Satsuma and how much of the category is it?

Satsuma is Japanese crackle-glazed earthenware decorated with gilt and enamel. It appears in 34 titles, with Japanese in 31 and Meiji in 23, making the Japanese branch about one in twenty. Forms in the samples include bowls, koro, tea caddies and Sumida Gawa mugs. Signed and studio-attributed work with a Meiji date reaches the top of the range.

Are there named makers in this category?

Not reliably. The maker extraction from these dealer descriptions returned no name carried by enough dealers to stand as a leading factory here. What titles do carry is pattern names, and sometimes a decorator or workshop. Those named pieces run higher than unattributed ones.

How many earthenware pieces come up each year?

About 92 a year, listed by 152 different dealers over the archive. That makes it one of the broadest-based categories on Sellingantiques rather than the ground of a few specialists. Odd forms turn up throughout: a pottery wine bin label, a bird whistle, a rugby-ball inkwell, a holy water stoup, a set of miniature delft furniture.
