Description
MacKenzie-Childs pottery breakfast bowl Signed in Clay EARLY Stoke Gabriel Collectible from Victoria’s Aunt & Mother’s Collection This handmade and painted breakfast bowl is a piece of history from the MacKenzie-Childs earliest beginnings era before Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs owned and designed at the factory in Aurora up until 2001. This bowl has Victoria signing in the clay on the bottom in her signature, before there was logo that started their business. Wax residue is still evident on the bottom that is used before firing in kiln so glaze doesn’t stick to the bottom of the bowl and usually fires all off during firing- so very collectible. This bowl was not in retail but used in her mother’s home. Bowl measures 8 1/2” diameter The pattern Stoke Gabriel is the home of Rose Cottage and Mr. Baker and Mrs. Gilmore and Violet and Mr. Whitney and the Elliots and the Prowses and JoAnna and the Vicar. It encircles the estuary of the River Dart.
From The Story Behind The Patterns Stoke Gabriel was part of the Taylor Series. Bowl is in nice vintage condition- crazing in the center, no chips . Pre-owned as stated from an estate of Victoria’s Aunt
