Auction report
THE rituals of the English tea table developed in the mid 18th century when tea became cheap enough to be purchased by middle class families who needed attractive china to complement what was, for many, a novelty beverage. Earthenware crockery had been made at Broseley in Shropshire for many years but, in 1772 or 1773 Thomas Turner, a freeman of the city of Worcester, who had worked as a journeyman for its successful pottery, began to produce soft paste porcelain on the Caughley site. In 1775 an advertisement for Salopian porcelain stated that the manufactory near Bridgnorth is now quite complete lately we saw some of their production which in colour and fineness are truly elegant and beautiful, and have the bright and lovely white of the much extolled Oriental. Chinese porcelain was highly prized in the 18th century leading Turner to create tableware and decorative pieces in imitation of the originals. French porcelain was also admired but, until 1787 had attracted high import duties resulting in a Caughley production of imitative and sophisticated gilded polychrome wares. Not all the porcelain was decorated on site as the factory also sold pieces in the white to Worcester whose Chamberlain decorated Caughley is now much admired. Both painted and transfer printed wares were produced at Caughley, a large factory that even had its own coal mine for firing the kilns. Though the name Caughley (pronounced Calflee) is not as famous as Spode or Wedgewood , experts now believe that the firm was probably the most productive source of European porcelain in the 1780s as the ceramics were directed at a competitive low price rather than superb quality. Although Caughley was collected in the 19th century the importance of the factory was not fully recognised as the work was not stamped or impressed with the factory name and there are no known surviving pattern books or factory records. Much of our current knowledge rests on the results of excavations at the factory site that revealed shapes and designs that had been wrongly attributed to other factories. These discoveries led to a surge of interest in the 1960s.The question of attribution fasbut the Caughley blue and white is especially liked. Included in the Sillito collection is a part coffee set, tea bowls and saucers, platters and jugs in several sizes and some pieces from a polychrome tea set most of which will be sold separately. Many of the patterns for tea wares and toy china were derived from publications such as A New Book of Chinese Designs or were adapted from French or Oriental examples. Most early Caughley was decorated in underglaze cobalt blue both printed and painted and, by 1778 enamels were also in use. Examples of Caughley porcelain can be found in all parts of Britain as the Salopian China Warehouse was opened in 1781 in Portugal Street, Lincolns Inn Fields, London. At this warehouse muffle kilns were used to add over-glaze colours and enamel decoration for special orders. In the last years of the factory a form of hard paste porcelain was also produced. In 1799, partly because of ill health, the leases of the Caughley Porcelain Works were assigned to Coalport. The remaining wares were auctioned with the Caughley site finally closing in 1814.

Teatime treat on the table


cinated the new and more analytical type of collector typified by Ronald Sillito (1919-2006), a Shropshire man who began purchasing table and toy wares from dealers and sales across the country. Sillito, who grew up in Market Drayton, served in the Royal Signals during the Second World War. A Swansea University chemistry graduate, his working life was spent as a chemical engineer for Shell but he also painted in watercolours and collected china partly for relaxation. His study of Caughley became for him an area of academic research but he was also interested in the financial value of the items and constructed graphs of the investment potential of individual examples. He retired to Raglan in 1990 where his collection was displayed in cabinets around his home. Next month, Brightwells of Leominster will offer for sale the porcelain that was on display in Raglan. The pieces, mainly blue and white, include pickle and asparagus dishes, coffee pots, jugs, sauceboats and mugs in several sizes as well as a variety of toy wares small pieces that are too large for dolls houses but too small for children to eat from. Toy sets, made in general for play or display in cabinets, were produced by several factories
