Description
Automatic translation from Danish.
Hesbjerg Faience Factory. Faience coffee pot with baluster-shaped body and domed foot, handle and spout with modeled ornamentation, decorated in underglaze blue with repeating pattern, indistinct sign. below the bottom, presumably manufactured by Hesbjerg Fajancefabrik o. 1811-1820. Has glaze crackling, chipping and riveted lid knob.
At the manor Store Hesbjerg on Funen, there was a production of earthenware in the years between 1811-1820. The production is divided into a blue-decorated and a variegated group. Common earthenware of the smooth type is mainly produced, it includes terrines, jugs, bowls, plates, etc. Among the most common decorations are some small four-leaf clover-like painted figures placed evenly on the objects as well as festoons crossing each other and perhaps supplemented by some parts with a scale pattern. Some bowls and plates have polychrome landscapes or flowers in the colors yellow, green and violet or blue. The glaze of the earthenware is usually greyish and somewhat dull.
The Danish faience factory, like the one in Antvorskov, was set up to alleviate the lack of goods during the mainland blockade. Created at the manor of St. Hesbjerg on Funen. Strongly Kellinghusen inspired wares with a rather primitive glaze...The earliest items are blue-decorated.
