WHAT YOU ARE BUYING/BIDDING ON #43742 Antique Majolica footed jar or pot featuring square form with a tufted basketweave ground, dogwood flowers and oak leaves. Attributed to Alloa Pottery. Alloa Pottery was founded by James Shaw in Kirkgate by 1783 but may be as early as 1757. It rapidly passed through a number of owners : James Turbull (until 1805), James Heath (1812-16), William Hamilton and William Gardner (c.1820-56). In 1856, Joseph Bailey bought the Pottery and it remained in his family until its closure in 1907. The main products were teapots in Rockingham glaze, majolica ware, and jet. One advert in the Bailey period states that their teapots were suitable for Australia, India, China, Japan, Canada, North & South America and Dutch East Indies. They had showrooms in Edinburgh, London and Bristol.
