Royal Stanley Jacobean ware flower bowl with stem-organiser.

Auld Curiosities would like to begin this new presentation of antiques, curios and collectables in a positive note and bring you something special. Ideal to fill that role is a Royal Stanley, Jacobean Ware, flower bowl with matching stem organiser. Royal Stanley ware was made almost next door to the Moorcroft factory and so has been (?unfairly) referred to as the “poor man’s Moorcroft”. Certainly there is comparative themes and in this example the use of tube lining suggests that they did employ workers with similar skills and talents. The pattern is that of a rural scene, depicted with a strong art nouveau influence – is perhaps the strength of that influence that allows the comparison with Moorcroft. The flower bowl stands 4 ½” (114mm), sitting on a base with a diameter of 3 13/16” (97mm) and maximum diameter of approximately 5 ¼” (134m). Condition is excellent – no damage or evidence of previous repair.
