Manufacturer: Richard Alcock

Here is a fine Staffordshire large ladle from the Richard Alcock pottery. It has a paddle handle, one of our favorite designs because it blends well with any white ironstone shape.
It bears the Richard Alcock, Burslem, backstamp. Little is known about the Richard Alcock pottery. We know that this pottery was purchased by the Wilkinson and Hulme pottery which ceased operation in 1885. We know, therefore, that the Richard Alcock pottery preceded it. By its design and feel, we would date it to the 1850 period.
Condition is excellent - no chips, cracks, hairlines, stains, or restoration. The bowl is 4 inches wide. The handle is 11 inches long. |
