John Maddock & Sons Gravy Boat & Underplate Blue Yellow Floral

Description: John Maddock & Sons Gravy Boat & Underplate Blue Yellow Floral For consideration is this antique gravy boat and matching underplate by John Maddock & Sons, North Staffordshire, England, and made between 1880 and 1896. These are decorated with sponged gold, they are embossed and have a floral pattern in periwinkle blue and yellow. The boat measures 4½ inches tall, the mouth measures 3¼ inches wide and 9 inches from spout to handle. The base measures 4 inches long by 2½ inches wide. The oval underplate measures 8¼ inches long and 6½ inches wide. Although both pieces are single marked with the John Maddock & Sons logo, I had some matching pieces that also had a “J.A. Doyle” mark, making them double marked. Research shows that J.A. Doyle operated under the name Doyle, Ltd., Glass and China Dealers, which I verified via their street address which happens to be on their mark. Further research indicated they were “re-sellers”, which I assume means that J.A. Doyle bought blanks from Maddock and Sons and then decorated the blanks with their own patterns. Little more information was found about Doyle other than some glass patterns that date from the late 1870s to 1880s according to Replacements dot com. There is a fleabite on the underside of the lip (see photos), and a small chip on the base in front under the lip. There is a small chip on the underplate (see photos). There are no cracks, repairs, scratches, discoloration or crazing noted. Buyer will pay shipping on a 3 pound box. Thank you for looking!
