This auction is for a superb Stoneware Wine Flagon, very rare in origin, manufactured by J.C. Hawley, Bristol, with impressed inscription for ‘C. Ball, Wine Merchant, Penzance’.

Manufacture of stoneware in Bristol probably commenced in the early 18th century but output, at that time, would have been extremely small.

Although there were a number of Bristol potteries recorded as making brown stoneware in the 19th Century relatively few marked items have been recorded, hence the rarity of this flagon and its exceptional provenance.

Excellent original condition. Highly collectible.

Dimensions (approx.): Height = 26 cm Diameter = 15 cm

I am moving house and, in order to downsize, I need to reduce my collection of quality alcohol related stoneware built up over many years. You might like to look at my other listings which include similar and/or related items.

Pick up is from Pakuranga, Auckland or postage by arrangement.
