Brownfield Majolica Monkey and Duck Pitcher, English, Dated April 1876, Signed
William Brownfield Majolica Monkey and Duck Pitcher, English, dated April 1876, signed with impressed maker's mark, 'BROWNFIELD.' Crisply detailed molding with beautifully vivid colored majolica glazes, this piece embodies the highest quality, irresistible charm, and whimsy of English majolica (the majolica produced in England during the 19th century is the unrivaled best; with few exceptions, the majolica wares produced contemporaneously by European and American potteries is irrelevant by comparison). For over 28 years, we have been among the world's preeminent specialists in fine antique Majolica. Book Reference: Tim H. Peake, William Brownfield and Son (s): An Illustrated Guide to Brownfield Wares 1837-1900. Published by T.H. Peake, September 1995, p. 125, Figure 334. (Incorrectly listed as Monkey and Goose Jug').
