Description: Grindley 11 Chatsworth Bowls Rimmed Soup 8 15/16" Green w/Gold 1897-1914 HTF W.H. GRINDLEY CUP & SAUCER Creampetal Floral 1936-1954 Artist R. Granet w/GOLD Exquisite Decorative SMOOTH RIM 14 Sided Set of 11 Rimmed SOUP BOWLS from W.H. Grindley & Co., GREEN Chatsworth Pattern with Gold Trim Highlighting the Embossing, circa 1897-1914 DESCRIPTION: The beautiful smooth rim decorative plate was decorated with the Green Chatsworth pattern. The design of the pattern includes a large floral spray in the center of the bowl and 6 smaller sprays spread around the wide, flat rim. The bowl's scrollwork embossing is decorated with gold highlighting. It is very unusual to find the Chatsworth pattern in a true green. CONDITION: While this set of 11 rimmed soup bowls is classified as used, the condition is very good, particularly considering their age. Five of the bowls have very minor flakes on the back rim. Another has a tiny nick the front rim. There are no cracks, rubbings or hairlines. There is some very fine crazing as is normally evident on this type of china produced in this time period. As is normal, the 3 stilt marks are evident on the back of the bowls, but they are not prominent. See the photos to observe the condition for yourself. The bowl's gold either shows some wear or was not evenly applied. There is no utensil scratches from use on the center of the bowls. These noted issues really are minor and do not affect the beauty or functionality of the set. DIMENSIONS: The bowls have diameter of 8 15/16" with a height of 1 3/8". HISTORY/MARKS: William Harry Grindley founded his pottery at the Newfield Pottery in 1880 at Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. In 1891, the company moved to the Woodland Pottery. The product which was mainly aimed for the U.S. and other overseas markets included Flow Blue and decorated Earthenware dinnerware or ironstone china. Alfred Clough, Ltd bought the pottery in 1970 renaming it in 1978 to Grindley on Stokes. Later in 1982, Federal Potteries purchased it before the Grindley family re-purchased the pottery in 1988. Unfortunately, the pottery was already in trouble and was placed in receivership in 1991. Woodlands Pottery took over and still operates it today. The mark used on this set is identified by Geoffrey Godden's Encyclopaedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks as mark #1842 used in the 1891-1914 time period. The British Registration #287325 (issued 1896) for the pattern Chatsworth. This was also patented Feb. 2nd, 1897 in the USA. Both of these notations are on the back of the bowls. This narrows the time period to 1897-1914. Please view all pictures carefully as they are part of the description. The stand was used as a photo prop and is not part of this listing.
