Description
An unusual Royal Palissy line Geranium Floral oval bowl, from Samuel Alcock & Co, Burslem, Staffordshire, England, circa 1850.
This is a scarce example of Alcocks Geranium pattern.
An overall free floating pattern of Geranium flower heads and their leaves glazed in yellow and greens on a brown ground. A green twig form lining borders the rim.
The bold color and water-color type glazing technique is distinctive to Alcock majolica pottery. The mottled turquoise blue, green and brown glazing to the verso is also a hallmark of Alcock.
11.5 in. L x 9 in. W x 1.75 in. H
Marked ‘Royal Palissy’ with the Beehive, SA & Co.
The bowl has three older shallow chips to the rear rim, not seen on the front.
