Mason's Ironstone China, circa 1830-1848 and Ashworth Ironstone China, circa 1850-1899. A collection of five pieces of ironstone china in the Imari taste comprising a Mason's large bowl, two-10.25" plates and a 9" plate, each having a border in cobalt ground decorated with gilt leafy floral patterns and cartouches containing chinoiserie figures carrying parasols, lotus and peony with central design on white ground with peony and precious objects; and a Ashworth "Real Ironstone" 10.25" bowl in the "Table and Flower Pot" pattern with cobalt ground border with enameled and gilt floral sprays, flowers in canted squares and medallions of "mon", the center in the famille rose palette with a vase issuing peonies amidst other flowering plants and rockwork. The Mason pieces marked 'Masons Patent Ironstone China' and "3271". The Ashworth bowl marked with printed Royal Coat of Arms and impressed "ASHWORTH/REAL/IRONSTONE/CHINA". Provenance: Property from the Private Collection of Mrs. Nancy Rutledge Pogue, Blufton, South Carolina (wife of Mr. William Pogue, who served as an heir to the H. & S. Pogue Company department store chain based in Cincinnati, Ohio).
All pieces exhibit gilt loss, particularly at the rims, surface scratches, staining, glazing / transfer imperfections including glaze pops. The 11" deep 'handled' bowl has tight hairline fractures notable in the cartouche decorations likely from stress of the indented collar. There is some staining possibly due to moisture in the hairlines. One of the 10.25" plates has a chip to the foot rim. The other has overpainting on the rim in the form of a gilt leaf.
Condition report statements are provided as a courtesy to interested clients by request - these reports state our professional opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact. As such, Ahlers & Ogletree Auction Gallery is not responsible for any omissions or errors to these condition reports. It is important to note that the absence of a condition report does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition. Prior to bidding, please consult the additional photos provided and ask all pertinent questions (i.e. condition, size, etc.). Packing and shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, please see our website for a list of shipping companies. For a condition report, please email Condition@AandOauctions.com. For additional photos, please email Photos@AandOauctions.com. Please note, Ahlers & Ogletree Auction Gallery sells items at a rate of approximately 80 to 100 lots per hour in a live auction setting. Since the auction moves quickly, online bidding platforms are,at times, unable to keep up with the pace. To avoid potential disappointment when bidding on an online platform, consider placing a realistic absentee bid in advance of the sale. Priority, in regards to bidding, goes to in-house floor bidders. Occasionally, the auctioneer may reject a live online bid and/or reopen a lot after the close of online bidding (typically due to a missed in-house floor bid). Due to this possibility, at times the online bidding platform will show an online bidder as the winning bid when they are not. All final winning bidders will be notified via invoicing from Ahlers & Ogletree typically by the Monday immediately following the sale. To bid with Ahlers & Ogletree as a phone or absentee bidder, please feel free to email us at bid@AandOAuctions.com. Lastly, please make sure to read over our firm's Terms and Conditions of Sale before bidding.
