Gaudy Dutch Biche BLUE AND WHITE scenic china and Staffordshire are almost synonymous in’ the public mind, but it was only one of a variety of wares produced by the versatile potters of that area in central England. The colorful china that the Pennsylvania Dutch farmers bought a century and a half ago is a good example of the adapt- ability of the Staffordshire potters. Here were customers who demanded a more flamboyant decoration than the chaste blue and white that so delighted Americans in other sec- tions. So the potters gave it to them in the highly decorated dishes that are now known as “Gaudy Dutch.” The adjective accurately describes it, but save for the fact that it was By ow.

Indian war bonnet. The grape pat- tern at the left in the illustration was probably named for the many- petaled flower in the center which suggests but does not much resemble a bunch of bright pink grapes. The Indian war bonnet design at the right is also more suggestive than accu- rate. However. there is a semblance of a head band with four feathers below and one above, all blue. Only occasicnally is a maker’s mark found on any of these dishes and then it is a name Riley impressed on the back. John and Richard Riley owned and operated a pottery at TWO FAVORITE PATTERNS IN GAUDY DUTCH On the left the Grape design and on the right the War Bonnet. Both show Oriental origin of design despite robustness of color. made chiefly for the transplanted folk from the Rhine Valley, the ‘name is misleading since the Nether- lands had no part in it. And though English potters produced it, they did not originate the design. They just adapted a 17th Century Chinese one that had already been copied on 18th Century fine English porcelains, no- tably Worcester and . Derby. Gold decoration was, of course, too expen- sive for moderate priced dishes. so for it they substituted a vivid yellow. Other colors used in the free hand decoration of this ware included co- balt blue, apple green, rust red and clear pink. About twelve variations of the original Oriental motif were produced but the potters appear to have had no name for them. It is also doubtful if they ever heard of the term *“Gaudy Dutch.” That, like many other of the names applied to our heirlooms, got attached to this kind of earthenware more than twenty or thirty years ago when in- terest in it as an antique worth having was aroused. Originally in favor from about 1785 to 1815 with the Pennsylvania Dutch farmers of the five counties, Berks, Lancaster, Montgomery, Lehigh, and Daulphin, its various patterns have also taken on latter day names. They Burslem in Staffordshire during the late 18th and early 19th Centuries. Pieces bearing their mark are light and delicate as to weight and tex- ture. Judging from the quantity of “Gaudy Dutch” that appeared in America during the thirty years that it remained in favor, the Riley pot- tery was probably only one of many which produced this ware. Pieces that can be found today in the various patterns include most of the pieces of tableware in fashion at the time—platters, plates, cups with- out handles, deep saucers with cup plates (reflecting the early fashion of drinking from the saucer), bo sugar bowls, cream pitchers, te: coffee pots. Some of these have a number painted on th For example, the war bonnet generally has the number 2/10 the grape pattern, 2/1036. The most likely place to look fo this ware is, of course, in the are where it was originally purchased or in the booths of dealers from Penn- sylvania who frequent the various antiques shows. Because of its bold patterns and lurid coloring, the aver- age householder will probably prefer an occasional platter or plate or pos- sibly a tea set to an entire service, even if the latter could bc. found.
