Here is are a very nice pair of Dorchester Pottery demi tasse with a spouting whale with waves and seahorse with seagulls hand painted in cobalt on a  white ground. The saucers measure 4 1/2 inches in diameter and overall 2 1/2 inches high. Signed on the bottom with the firm's circular ink stamp, and C.A.H. for Charles Allen Hill, E.H.H., for Ethel Hill Henderson, spouse of Charles and the sister of the founder, and 1775-1975 beating the bicentennial by a year. They are in excellent condition with only the minor indiscretions inherent in hand made pottery, and no chips, cracks, firing flaws or repairs. The Dorchester Pottery Works was founded in 1895 by George Henderson in Dorchester, MA, part of the city of Boston. They introduced the blue and white dinnerware in 1940 right around the time the nearby Dedham Pottery stopped, and continued to produce pottery until 1979. Beautiful pieces of blue & white New England stoneware. If you have any questions please click on our username or visit our store page and feel free to email through the gallery or call Jim Messineo at JMW Gallery.
