Large 18th-Century Style English Antique Earthenware Comb-Decorated Slipware Loaf Dish / Baking Dish

1 of 2 we are offering for sale. This is the larger of the two. The other, of almost identical design, is smaller and can be purchased separately. 

An 18th-century style, English-made earthenware, comb-decorated, slipware loaf dish or baking dish.

Made by the studio potter Andrew Watts and bearing his pottery mark verso of “Lannock Pottery, Weston, Hertfordshire”. Watts commenced working as a potter in Lavender Hill, London, England, in 1976. He moved his studio from London to Weston in 1981 and continued to produce handmade wares until the mid-1990s when his pottery finally closed. 

This example is decorated in underglaze brown and ochre slip on an earthenware body.

We are now offering for sale two of his rarer works in slipware, which are more sought after than his other works produced in alternative forms, media and glazes.

Condition – Very good. There are no chips or cracks. Please refer to the images. The dish displays very well.
