WHITE IRONSTONE NOTES
WHITE IRONSTONE NOTES VOL. 17 No. 1 SUMMER 2010 CONVENTION COVERAGE SYDENHAM AND IT’S COUSINS The Convention keynote address by John Yunginger covered Boote Brothers Sydenham and Their Imitators. T&R Boote’s Sydenham Shape was probably the most widely produced and popular body style sent to the U.S. market in the 1850s. It remains as popular to present-day collectors as when it was first made. It is no surprise that many Staffordshire potters used this Shape as a template to create their own versions to market in the Americas. John’s talk included the predecessors - Boote’s 1851 (continued on page 4) Page 2 Vol. 17.1 INDEX WICA BOARD OF DIRECTORS Harry Moseley, President Bob Hohl,Vice President Carol Fleischman, Secretary Dave Klein, Treasurer Roland Bergner Ted Brockey Jane Diemer Bev Dieringer Jean Gortzig Jim Miller Boyd Payne Dorothy Riley Helen Tudor Honorary Lifetime Member Jean Wetherbee The WHITE IRONSTONE CHINA ASSOCIATION, INC. is a not-for-profit corporation whose purpose is to further our knowledge and enjoyment of white ironstone china.

Brought home a set of eleven Fluted Pearl plates and the Boote’s 1851 master relish that we have wanted for years. It was a wonderful convention. We have an amendment to the cover of Vol. 16, No. 3. Karen Bear’s compote with cherub base has been declared to be porcelain by many members that handled it at the 2010 Convention. Minton made both porcelain and ironstone items at the time this compote was manufactured and we were unaware that crazing occasionally appeared on porcelain like this. We still think it’s a beautiful piece. We called Jean Wetherbee and found her staying with her son Steve. The Wetherbee family has gathered together in homes close to each other in West Virginia. Jean had a bad fall last year ( broke her leg in two places, her arm and her back) and after a three month rehab program she says she is fine. Her hearing is not good enough to use the phone. But she would love to hear about all of you by letter. She still loves to talk about white ironstone. Her address is: Jean Wetherbee, 1933 Health Center Dr., Union, W.V. 24983 ********************************* ********************************* I hate to bother you so soon after the tiring convention. You will see photos of the 4 - 1/2inch plate. The pictures are not so good (think I need a new camera), but it is clearly marked in the circle: W. Barker _________ porcelain opaque _________ and son I cannot find any mention of any Barker making white ironstone, and/or 12-sided Gothic? What am I missing? Where is it written? I have looked in ALL my books, LETTERS At the convention I purchased a Laurel Wreath covered vegetable tureen from Mary Ann & Chuck (Ulmann). I was not aware that a covered vegetable tureen came in four different sizes. It is nice to learn something new each time I go to the convention. p.s. they measure from handle to handle – just under 10”, 11”, 12” and just over 13”. Boyd Payne ********************************* It has been our experience that the potters often made items in odd numbers of sizes. There were probably five sizes of the Laurel Wreath vegetable tureens. You may but you probably have it somewhere. There are three Barkers in Kowalski’s book, but none say they made WHITE. Nor in the patterns did they give the 12 sided Gothic as being potted by any of the Barker/and Co,/ and Sons/ combinations. Barkers seemed to do mostly Transfer and I wonder if it is not a piece that was to be transfer, but never got there? Janet Knorr ********************************** Seems that over the years we have come Vol. 17.1 Page 3 Our New Board of Directors NEXT ISSUES Fall: Potties, potty lids and spittoons. Future issues will cover Vegetable tureens and Gravy boats. Let us know if you have a favorite shape you would like to see profiled. Harry Moseley President Bob Hohl Vice President Carol Fleischman Secretary Dave Klein Treasurer CALENDAR Area 4 Regional, September 25, 201 Carol Fleischman, 815-723-0904 [email protected] Roland Bergner Ted Brockey Jane Diemer Bev Dieringer Jean Gortzig Area 7 Regional, September 18, 2010 Bob & Bonne Hohl, 610-775-2240 [email protected] WICA 2011 Convention, April 29, 30, May 1, 2011 Holiday Inn Conference Center York, Pennsylvannia Jim Miller Boyd Payne across many odd pieces of ironstone that made their way on the boat to the Americas. There were hundreds of potteries but not all of them sent merchandise to the U.S. This may have been from an exploratory shipment of Barker pottery. ********************************* I am wondering if you have seen 2 sizes of cups in any child's set? I wanted to fill out my partial set of Washington Shape and bought 3 cup/saucers from E-bay. When I received them, they were smaller than the cups I already had. Couldn't get good close up, but can show the difference in size and shape. Thanks, Carol Fleischman ********************************* Yes, we have seen different sizes in the cups & saucers, especially in the Boote's Dorothy Riley Helen Tudor 1851 sets. Probably manufactured and fired at different times. There wouldn't be any good reason to do it on purpose. But I'm sure they wouldn't have believed that a hundred and fifty years later, people would be people making note of the differences. ********************************* The Raffle was a success as usual and made $700 profit for the Education Fund. The winners were: Olga Moreland who chose the Boote’s 1851, 18 inch platter. Barbara Burnett who chose the teapot. Russ Symons went home with the vegetable tureen. Jean Gortzig received the Tree Trunk mug. These items were donations to the raffle which made the money gathered pure profit. If any of our members would like to donate something for next year’s convention raffle, please contact Ernie & Bev.

Vol. 17.1 Page 7 SYDENHAM AND ITS IMITATORS T. & R Boote1851 shape tureen. Sydenham Shape by T. & R. Boote. Pearl Sydenham by J. & G. Meakin. Double or Wrapped Sydenham by H. & G. Late Harvey. Columbia Shape by Joseph Goodwyn. Double or Wrapped Sydenham by Adams. Baltic Shape by Meir & Son. President Shape by John Edwards. Columbia Shape by J. Clementson. Girard Shape by Ridgway Bates & Co. Page 8 Vol. 17.1 PEARL SYDENHAM Meakin was in business from 1851 to 1882 plus. Formerly James Meakin, Newtown Pottery, High Street, Longton, 1845-1850. In 1852, James retired and the business was taken over by James & George, two of his sons. They established branches of the business in Cobridge and Burslem in 1859, and specialized in white graniteware. The Elder Road Works in Cobridge, was run by Meakin & Co. from 1865 through 1882. Pearl Sydenham is an assigned name for this Meakin shape. The mark most often found on these pieces is the oval impressed mark that says Pearl China. J. & G Meakin didn’t register most of their ironstone designs so we don’t have an accurate date for this shape, but we can be sure it was not long after Boote’s Sydenham Shape was marketed. Full-sized soup tureen with a mismatched ladle. The plate in front is correctly identified as Pearl Sydenham. The plate in the background is also identified as Pearl Sydenham because it has the J. & G. Meakin impressed mark that says Pearl, but it is really more like Persia Shape or Pearson’s # 5 Shape. See pages 54, 55 in the Plate Book. In Weatherbee’s Collector’s Guide, page 60, she illustrates J. & G Meakin’s Pearl Sydenham plates incorrectly using the same Pearl China mark. Sauce tureen. Vol. 17.1 Page 9 PEARL SYDENHAM Above: Two creamers with variations of the shield shape at the bottom. The one at the right is by John May and we have often identified this shape as Pearl Sydenham. Below: A lovely Pearl Sydenham ewer. Pearl Sydenham brush or vanity box. The compote above, although often called Pearl Sydenham, is directly related to the second plate on the previous page. Elegant Pearl Sydenham gravy boat. Page 10 Vol. 17.1 PEARL SYDENHAM Pearl Sydenham syllabub cup. A Pearl Sydenham relish which has the J. & G. Meakin impressed mark. This wonderful compote shines whether empty or full of goodies. This sweet little syrup is not by J. & G. Meakin, but a variant of Pearl Sydenham. Vol. 17.1 Page 11 PEARL SYDENHAM Left: Pearl Sydenham teapot. Right: Three-piece teaset. The creamer and sugar bowl are Meakin, but the teapot is a shorter version of the teapot at left. Covered vegetable tureen. Page 12 Vol. 17.1 SHOW AND TELL Roland Bergner brought a footed serving dish with a twisted vine border and various fruit in the center. Bob Hohl carefully displayed two child’s teasets. One with Fluted Panels (above) and the one below which is Atlantic “A” Shape by T. & R. Boote. We had only seen a teapot and a small plate before now. Carol Fleischman is holding what all agreed was a master salt. It was identified as Memnon Shape by Meir. The sauce tureen (left) by Bridgewood & Son turned out to be an unidentified shape. Vol. 17.1 Page 13 SHOW AND TELL Dave Klein holds a handled compote in Columbia Shape. Imagine that full of fruit! Dennis Contri brought this covered toddy bowl which is a Sydenham-like shape not seen before. He had the bowl for several years and then found the lid at the Dieringer’s booth a few years ago. Ernie Dieringer holds his most favorite piece of ironstone (for the moment). Below the inset detail of the Foo Dog finial. The boar’s head handles of this Mason’s vegetable tureen are unusual. Barbara Burnett’s food mold is meant to produce a very tall gelatin tower. Probably used as a centerpiece for a buffet. Page 14 Vol. 17.1 SHOW AND TELL Harry Moseley presented this very handsome cheese dome and stand in a geometric pattern of line and dot elements. Most cheese domes have flowers and foliage and a few represent bee hives. Jane Diemer very much loves this highsided, low-footed Fluted Panel Gothic punch bowl by James Edwards. We do too. Janet Knorr called this piece a LARGE thunder mug. Jim Kerr brought this unusual compote. It was obviously meant for draining liquid off of whatever was placed in it and the water could be drained out easily by tipping it on edge. Vol. 17.1 Page 15 SHOW AND TELL John Yunginger presented an E&F Ceres Shape butter dish miss-marked as Portland Shape. They picked up and used the wrong stamp at the potting. Tom & Olga Moreland brought this impressive Dover Shape soup tureen by JF, They found a matching underplate (not shown) with an printed eagle mark but no potter’s name. Linda Wilder Showed her banded ewer body pitcher. We missed getting a photo of the mark. Rick Nielsen said that he just had to buy this pewter lidded syrup because it seemed to be a portrait of himself! We agree. He also hauled this ironstone butter churn. It might almost be fun to make some butter in it. Almost. Kris Wagner holds a small Mason’s pewter lidded syrup with a dragon handle that is skewed to one side. Definitely meant for a right-handed person. Page 16 Vol. 17.1 ROLLING STAR SHAPE This shape by James Edwards has so far never shown up with a diamond registry mark. And, to date, we have never seen a piece of hollow ware in Rolling Star. Perhaps Edwards was not able to design hollow ware that worked well with the flat pieces and therefore didn’t register the shape. All conjecture but... During Show & Tell, Al Marzorini showed a cup plate in Rolling Star shape and a set of five sizes of Rolling Star platters (below). To date only flat pieces have been identified in this shape by James Edwards. All of the flat ware has only six lobes, even the well-and-tree platter below. Marks found on Rolling Star. This outstanding well-and-tree platter is probably one of the only ones that has survived. A 9 inch soup plate.
