Notes
One of several designs incorporating the Sèvres Marbling motif (Reg Design No 646904). The relevant Design Index page is shown.
Gray’s Pottery produced cruets for much of the life of the company. In the period 1917-22 these comprised a set of three pots held in a metal stand. The mounts (the metalwork on top of the pepper and mustard pots), the stand and the spoons (expect two: one for the mustard pot and one for the salt bowl) are usually EPNS (electro-plated nickel silver). In the example shown here the stand is by Richard Richardson of Sheffield.
While the basic ceramic items appear to have been identical throughout, the metal ware varies as can be seen from the examples in the group image of five sets.
Gray’s Pottery produced mounted biscuit barrels from 1915 through to 1921, a period when this table/sideboard accessory must have been very much in vogue. The mounts (the metalwork rim and handle) are usually EPNS (electro-plated nickel silver) and are held on to the pot with a plaster-of-Paris cement.
The shapes of both the pots and the mounts vary considerably, as seen by some examples in the group image of eight barrels (and which includes a 1934 cane-handled example).
