YORKSHIRE POTTERIES, ETC.

Thistle, and on the garland 
GEORGE IV CROWN’D July thi 9> 1821. 
Painted ware. Many of these are quite excellent, whilst others 
are just as poor. A magnificent pair of vases or pot-pourri jars 
are in Mr. T. Boynton's Collection. They are about 12 inches 
high, with dark rich blue and gold body, having panels of well- 
painted groups of fruit and flowers. These were made by Messrs. 
Warburton and Britton about 1857. Amongst many other painted 
articles fine “ rhytons ” or drinking cups in the form of fox's 
masks and dog's heads were made. 
A very rare ware made at Leeds was the so-called “ Batavian " 
ware. These pieces are white inside, having a rich chocolate 
coloured glaze on the outside, except where shaped panels were 
left. The panels are decorated with imitations of Oriental decora¬ 
tions in blue under glaze colour. Mr. A. Hurst has a fine bowl 
in this ware, also a cream jug, having the usual Leeds twisted 
handle with foliated terminations.
