WHITE IRONSTONE NOTES VOL. 18 No. 1 SUMMER 2011 CONVENTION COVERAGE KEW PROJECT This newsletter covers some of the research of Patent Reg- istries of white ironstone china found at the Public Registry Offices at Kew, England. You may recall seeing this three- piece Cameo Gothic butter tub (see above right photo) by James Edwards dated July 1844 illustrated in Vol. 8 #3 Pg. 4 of Notes. This wonderful piece was not always complete. Years ago the bottom piece and a lid that didn’t fit it were found in Florida by Sally Scrimgeour and much later Janet Allers found two bowls. We all thought it had to be right because the lid fit the smaller bowl and it fit into the larger bowl. The lid even had notches to accommodate the two vertical tabs. The drawing (above left) is an image sub- mitted for a patent registry. It illustrates the exact three- piece object collectors had assembled. It is clearly marked in script – “Cov. – Butter Tub.” The smaller covered bowl was for butter and we assume larger bowl below held ice or cold water. There may have been a bail handle as indi- cated by the holes in the tabs of the covered bowl.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESKAnother Convention, number 17, come

and gone. We realize that the thing weenjoy the most is seeing our friends.Many of them we have been in contactwith over the year by phone and e-mail,but there are some we only see once ayear. Over the years they have all becomelike family. Many we would probablynever have met had it not been for ourshared love of white ironstone. It’s a won-derful thing.

This convention was very satisfying forus because we could finally share our ex-citement over the Kew information thatwe have been working with all this lastyear. It was very gratifying to be able topair an enlarged photo of the Kew registrywith an actual piece of that particular de-sign. More on that later in this issue.

The first two articles in this issue willbe followed in the Fall issue by an articleon the modelers, (those artisans whomade the molds for the dinner, tea, and toi-let sets.)

LETTERSIn reading again the last WIN, I noticed

that the same mark on the LaCombeBerlin Swirl sugar "MANUFACTUREDFOR & IMPORTED BY Chauncey I. Fil-ley, St. Louis, M.O. is on the bottom ofone of the Pedestalled Gothic pitchers inour collection. There is no registry nor apotter's mark on the pitcher. I enjoyedreading John Yunginger's letter about thismark.

Always a surprise taking a second look.Bertica Vasseur

*********************************The Morley tureen depicted in the last

Newsletter is called "Fancy Foot", but Icouldn't find that name in Kowalskys'Book. We displayed that tureen at one ofthe Conventions as "Lily Pad" becausethat is the embossing on its top and Mor-ley also made a "Lily" Shape .Thanks for helping with the correct name.

Bertica Vasseur*********************************

Naming a shape is difficult if you don’t

have the piece in your hands. It was im-

possible to see the lily pad finial detail

from the frontal photo view. Now it makes

great sense. So, from now on, this shape

will be known as Lily Pad.

*********************************I will be sending an e-mail image of a

child’s cup and saucer we found on ourway home from convention. Because ofthe faintness of the pattern and mark onthe saucer, I am sending my try at dupli-cating the mark of “Palissy China.”Couldn’t find any reference to this markin my library of reference books. Anyideas?Thanks,

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

I’m writing this as Audrey and I are wind-ing down from the 2011 Convention inYork, PA. It was great to be with all ourWICA friends who make these events somemorable. This year the programs wereespecially interesting and I want to saythank you to some of the people whohelped make it so.

Program Planning Committee membersErnie Dieringer, Jane Diemer, Jim Kerrand Liz Volckening planned and coordi-nated exceptional education programs.The presentation by Jane Diemer high-lighting findings from the Kew projectwas great and included a surprise visit bySue Mussell, a member from England,who provided insights about her ancestor,potter James Edwards. Bob Hohl thengave a wonderful program on ironstoneshapes which potters used as crossovers intheir other wares such as flow blue, mul-

berry, transferware, lustre decorated, etc.Both programs required much preparationand were warmly received.

Rick Nielsen and Patty Hurt presented an-other always enjoyable “Show, Tell &Ask” program that was fun and informa-tive.

Adele Armbruster did a fine job coordinat-ing the trips and the convention eventsschedule. Her Off-site Auction Chairper-son work produced another well-receivedauction.

Ron Stork, On-Site Auction Chairperson,and his crew provided their usual finework in helping provide a great auction.

Raffle ticket sales were very active thankslargely to the work of the Bergners(Roland and Sue) and the Ulmanns (Chuckand Mary Ann).

To those members who donated items tothe Raffle and Silent Auction, a specialthank you. These donations provide a clearprofit to WICA and are much appreciated.

Dave and Karen Klein spent much timeand effort in the WICA Shoppe and de-serve our continuing thanks.

I could go on listing others who helped inmany ways, but space is limited. However,you get the idea that a successful conven-tion is the work of many people. Thanksto them all!

The Convention Site Selection Committeehas recommended, and the Board ac-cepted, the Crowne Plaza, Independence,Ohio (near Cleveland), as the site of the2012 Convention. The Program PlanningCommittee is already considering pro-grams and trip planning has begun.

Yours in collecting,Harry

This year’s Convention focused on WICA’s research at the Patent Registry Offices at Kew, England. A DVD is availableof the power point talk presented by Jane Diemer. It is an overview of what was found on the patents applied for by thepotters from 1840 -1880. Another DVD is also available which includes all the patent images of white ironstone china thatwere found during the research project. (The WICA Shoppe has the information on purchasing these DVDs.)

In the following article we are focusing on the new nomenclature (words used on the patents to describe the objects andtheir use) that was discovered during the research and in the article beginning on page 8 we are including newly discoveredShape names. In the Fall issue of Notes, we will include information on the elusive artists/sculptors (called modelers) foundat the Kew Patent Registry Office.

NEWLY DISCOVERED NOMENCLATUREWe are starting with the word DISH because we discovered that it is their common word for many serving pieces.

NEWLY DISCOVERED NOMENCLATURE

We were hoping that among the informationfound on the registry drawings and photos wouldbe the names of the Shapes. Unfortunately, thenames were on only a few of the Shapes. Theregistries were to identify and protect the Shapeand had nothing to do with what the pottersnamed them. This is why the same name showsup on different Shapes.

On these next four pages we give you some ofthe new Shape names names that we found.

AURORA SHAPE #134558, Holland& Green, Oct. 16, 1860, tea & dinnerservice.

The registry picture above is almostuseless so we are including a photo ofa creamer.

BALTIC SHAPE #92768, (aka 12-Paneled Gothic) Venables Mann & Co.,Oct. 4, 1853, tea service. Not at all like the Baltic Shape collectors know. Ob-viously, the Patents did not protect the names.

GEM SHAPE #176916, Holland & Green, July 26, 1864, tea,toilet and table service. (This is a version of Hyacinth shape.)There were several makers of this Shape.

SHOW & TELL

Ernie showed our soup tureen which we were neverable to identify until we came across it in the Kewrecords. It is a Pompei Shape soup tureen by Mellor,Venables, July 5, 1847.

A recent find by Tom & Olga Moreland. This teapot shape has been des-ignated Flowering Vine. We believe that it was made by Clementson Broth-ers, June 23, 1868, but there is no listing for that date in Cushion or a registrydrawing.

Some thought these Wedgwood foot forms werehunt cups because of their diminutive size. WhenRick bought his from a dealer in England he was toldit was a boot warmer. A very old Wedgwood catalog(see drawing at left), shows these pieces as sockblocks. Washed socks were put on these forms to dry.The smaller one is Rick Nielsen’s and the larger isErnie’s.

Susan Mussell brought this piece all the way from England. It is either a butter tub ora candy jar. As Geoffrey Godden once said “It’s a whatever you use it for dish.”

Harry Moseley’s find is this

lounging lion. Possibly by

Crown Pottery Co., c. 1891. A

Lemon shape or Texas Fur-

nival teapot with a mark of

W.G which to date informa-

tion has not been found.

Anyone out there have any

ideas?

Olympic Shape toothbrush vase.

Wheat jug 8” high.

Lemon shape sugar bowl.

Rick Nielsen brought four items. From upper left

clockwise: Olympic Shape toothbrush vase by

Elsmore & Forster. Has anyone seen the underplate?

The very small pewter lidded jug has a design which

is not recorded in Kathy Hughes’ Jugs books, but we

are calling it a flower garden theme. Lemon shape

sugar bowl which we suspect is what we call Texas

Furnival by J.F. And to finish, a jug with wheat dec-

oration and a band around the middle which has not

been seen before.

Flower garden decoration.

Janet Knorr comes across a lot of interesting pieces

when stocking her shop in Gettysburg, PA. Abovet:

A mug which looks like Pearl Sydenham is marked

Cora Shape by Henry Alcock. Left: a 23” high

pedestal. This piece probably doesn’t have much

age, but it’s a very handsome item. Imagine a great

pot of ferns on it.

Bertica Vasseur brought two ham stands. It turns out that the marks which are

displayed prominently on the top of the stands are advertisements for the compa-

nies. The stand on the right is shown with its original metal spike which was

screwed into the center pillar and held the ham firmly. This is the only complete

one we have seen so far.

SHOW & TELL

Carl Gortzig is the proud owner of this fanciful desktop inkwell. Thereare two ink pots at the top and one is stained from ink. The lid, top center,fits over the ink pots and looks looks small here because of the camera lensperspective.

Tom Lautenschlager brought a huge high relief jugwhich probably holds a gallon and a half of liquid. Thephoto at the left shows a child’s creamer for comparison.

Gloria Wetherby demon-strated this water server.She had the wooden basemade to hold the pieceupright because its ovalshape does not let it standupright. Originally it hada metal stand which usedthe knobs at both ends fortipping.

John Yunginger brought this FramedPanels sugar. This shape has hadmany names over the years and haseven confounded Jean Wetherbee. Ithas been known as Framed Arches andFramed Loops, but we are declaring itFramed Panels with Jean’s approval.

This shape, which has been known as 12-PanelGothic, is actually Baltic Shape according to the regis-tration information. Patty Hurt displayed the pottywhich is owned by Tom & Olga Moreland..

Boyd Payne has the great ability to findpieces of known Shapes that have neverbeen seen. At the left is an Olympic Shapecookie or bread plate. At the right is a NileShape relish or pickle dish.

Collection Management Committee

The WICA Collection Management Committee announces a program to assistmembers with the organization or dispersal of their ironstone collections. This as-sistance is provided at no charge by volunteer WICA members. Help can be pro-vided by phone or e-mail for such things as shape identification or advice regardingcomputer software for organizing a collection. In-person help is also available forsuch things as photography, identification of repaired items, or actual preparationof an electronic inventory. For in-person help, the volunteer may request reim-bursement of travel and/or lodging expenses. These volunteers are not functioningas agents of WICA and are not licensed to appraise the value of individual piecesor collections for tax or estate purposes. In addition, the volunteers agree not topurchase or receive as a gift any part of the collection with which they are assist-ing.

Members who are seeking assistance should contact any of the members of theCollection Management Committee listed below to discuss their specific needs.Conversely, members who are willing to provide such assistance should requestand complete a volunteer form available from John Yunginger ([email protected]). A listing of volunteers will be posted on the WICA Members Only websitelater this summer. Finally, our committee will also be compiling and posting a listof auctioneers who are familiar with white ironstone china. This listing may beuseful to members who are liquidating large collections or to executors of deceasedmembers’ estates. WICA members are encouraged to e-mail John Yunginger withthe names of such auctioneers in their home area.

We are excited to offer these programs and look forward to receiving any commentsor questions.

Paul Millette and Russ Symons have a very per-sonal reason for collecting Montpelier Shape.They live in Vermont, where Montpelier is thecapital for one thing and the date it was registeredin Kew is the same date their house was built,1849.

This six-sided tureen by John Ridgway & Co.,is wonderful because it is the only one we knowthat is complete including its under tray. Its KewRegistration number is #54662.
