Regal Ware fruit bowl in the hand-painted “Poppy” pattern

The Auld Curiosities is pleased to offer, for your consideration, a large fruit bowl, by the Regal Pottery Company, in the “Poppy” pattern. The pottery company was based in Stoke on Trent, England between 1925 and 1931and dealt mainly in earthen-wares. The Poppy pattern was mainly produced for dinnerware and display pieces. There is a printed mark stating that the piece was hand painted by C Burton - who frankly was one of Regal Ware Pottery’s most talented decorators, and I have two other pieces up for auction signed in the same way and one where space didn’t allow the attribution to be placed. The marled beige ground is surrounded by bold florals in striking colours and highlighted by gold trim on the petal edges and the black edging to the top and bottom edges serves to add a degree of impact to the overall presentation. This is a pre-loved piece that appears to have minimal signs of wear and no obvious abuse or damage other than a small rub mark on the outer rim which is not easily seen; however, a limited amount of crazing is seen on the underneath surface. The bowl has a diameter of 262mm and stands 110mm tall.
