Painted terracotta cachepot by Gibson & Sons, 1912
SILVER Seller in Prato, Italy
Item description
Original and distinctive English terracotta cachepot by Gibson & Sons, early 20th century. The shape is simple but well proportioned and outlined. The main colors were carefully and tastefully chosen and matched in a very precise aesthetic and color balance. The inclusion of cute and friendly budgies in the overall design makes for a pleasant and delicate whole. On the bottom of the cachepot we find the mark of one of England's leading earthenware manufacturers, Gibson & Sons, who created this cachepot in 1912 at their Burslem factory in Stoke on Trent, England. The Gibson & Sons company was founded in 1875; it was not until 1905 that it became a corporation. By 1906 the company "employed about five hundred people". The manufacturers of tableware and tea sets were particularly known for producing teapots. Around 1907-1910 they produced the "world's largest teapot," which held 1024 cups of tea. The company had a great development until 1950 when it was absorbed by other companies; the Gibson name finally disappeared from production in 1965. This cachepot followed the traditional production cycle of English earthenware: artisans first chose the highest quality clay, which was shaped into the desired shape by turning and finished by hand; it was then allowed to dry before firing, which was done at a low temperature to harden the clay and make it ready for glazing; colored glazes, consisting of minerals and chemicals, were applied to the object by dipping and with brushes; finally, the glazed piece was fired at a higher temperature to vitrify the clay and melt the glaze on the surface, thus creating a durable and functional ceramic object. This cachepot tells a piece of history in the British earthenware tradition, and with its vibrant colors and strong personality it will stand out in any decor.
