Gourd-shaped ewer on a domed foot, with raised neck and a round spout which juts from the upper body. Two strap handles rejoin the body at the rim and are then joined by a continuous loop across the top. The surface is covered with incised and inlaid clay patterns, in light and dark brown, which imitate those used on 16th-century ‘Henri II’ or ‘St Porchaire’ ware. A light brown modelled dog sits atop the loop handle and unpainted relief decoration, including a bearded mask, putti and a rope circling the upper body; four incised straps decorate the foot. The underside is recessed, with a small central vent hole.

The new product took inspiration from Renaissance maiolica, but used brightly coloured lead-glazes and favoured sculptural forms rather than finely painted decoration. The Minton Art Director Léon Arnoux (1816-1902), however, sought to more directly reproduce Renaissance techniques and shapes, and in 1858 produced his first imitation of 16th-century French ‘Henri II’ inlaid earthenware (also known as ‘Saint Porchaire’ ware or ‘Faience d’Oiron’). Many of Arnoux’s designs. Charles Toft Snr. (1832-1909), who later became chief modeller for Wedgwood, specialised in realising this type of decoration during the 1860s-70s, drawing on Delange’s book of all the known examples, published in 1861. Minton continued to offer ‘Henri II’ ware until c.1893. Only a limited number of pieces was produced, however, and mainly for display. ‘Henri II’ ware was fragile and, as Colin Minton Campbell noted, ‘it is very expensive, from the inlaying of the clays, and the effect is not equal to the cost’ (Jones, 150). The geometric ornamentation was made by pressing metal dies into the unfired surface and then filling the depressions with clay. The relief decorations were moulded and applied. Although unlike Majolica ware in appearance, the glaze used is similar. Several versions of this example exist, including at the V & A Museum (CIRC.825-1920). These generally have an additional foot-plate and more painting on the relief decoration. The Fitzwilliam Museum also holds an piece of original ‘Henri II’ ware, the lower part of a ewer, c.1540-60 (EC.2-1940). reference term-108070 adlib-term-108070 7e278258-23e3-3d5b-a4ff-ab5ecacb4bf3 19th Century, Late reference term-120127 adlib-term-120127 ee2ddbd4-503c-30f5-8cf9-3c2d121bd315 Victoria I reference term-116524 adlib-term-116524 2532ce61-8150-3256-b951-d5175a8faa11 literal England England country Stoke reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 26.8 Width cm 13.8 reference media-44180 adlib-media-44180 17a880b3-d6e9-3cdd-adf1-c596b54e3ef3 jpeg aa/aa11/C_43_1972_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926313750 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/mid_C_43_1972_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926313750 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/C_43_1972_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926313750 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/preview_C_43_1972_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926313750 1 image 0 media image reference media-44181 adlib-media-44181 29a0bdbe-0e54-33e8-b41b-4942c7501e27 jpeg aa/aa11/C_43_1972_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926718144 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/mid_C_43_1972_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926718144 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/C_43_1972_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926718144 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/preview_C_43_1972_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926718144 1 image 1 media image reference term-88137 adlib-term-88137 eeab1777-4158-31f4-8f8a-0015cb1910f7 ewer reference term-90887 adlib-term-90887 0e3cacd3-4391-3b89-8726-41f3c24500f6 biberon reference term-89243 adlib-term-89243 16a98f7e-a468-3e31-9628-5b06643c6475 drinking vessel history note Charles & Lavinia Handley Read 1 reference object-76904 adlib-object-76904 4ca652f4-066c-38f3-b4be-df902e008657
