    Description

    C
    hilds Red Aesthetic Transferware Tea Pot
    LITTLE GIRL WITH CATS AND DOG
    Charles Allerton & Sons  Staffordshire England c. 1890
    This is a wonderful child's transferware covered teapot, circa 1890. Originally part of a complete children's tea service, the
    round melon
    shaped pitcher stands about 5
    inches
    tall to the top of the
    finial, and measures 6 inches across.
    The decoration is transfer printed in a rich cherry red or dark English pink.
    The teapot depicts a little girl, named Mae or May, sitting on a doorstep with a cat in her lap, a kitten drinking from a bowl of milk beside her, and her loving dog sitting at her knee. This endearing scene is framed by an aesthetic background of flowers, birds and lots of geometrical whimsies.
    The teapot is marked with pattern number 780 and registration number 106741, registered by Charles Allerton & Sons, a pottery manufacturer in the Staffordshire region of England who was well known for his whimsical children's tea sets. The influence of the Aesthetic movement on the pattern design captures the Victorian love of nature and the exotic. The pattern is known as "Little Mae with Pets", "Little May" or "Girl with Pets".
    The little teapot is in
    great
    condition, with
    spoon dings inside the rim
    and no other chips, cracks, or repairs. Haphazardly made, not fine china and not meant to be, which is why many people collect it. It has a firing separation at the top of the handle joint, minor transfer wrinkles, and typical other transfer imperfections, original to the making. A great example of naive and whimsical early wares!
    Offered as is, as shown.
    Children's aesthetic transferware in this fun pattern is highly sought after, and animal lovers and veterinary medicine folks love it! A perfect stocking stuffer for your pets' favorite people.
    We have listed companion pieces showing Little Mae with her arms around a big dog , carrying an apronful of eggs, and other winsome childrens transferware.  We have more singles, sets, trios and complete teasets, in other colors and Allerton patterns that we will be pleased to make available upon request.
