John Adams for Poole Pottery CSA 'Chinese' blue glazed group of ceramics, comprising a pair of ginger jars and covers, with impressed marks to the base, 17cm high, a pedestal dish, incised '464' to the base with impressed marks, 11.5cm high x 20.5cm wide and a wide-shouldered vase, incised '422' to the base, 18cm high overall (4)Provenance: One of the blue ginger jars with covers was purchased from 'The Poole Pottery Museum and Archive' sale at Christie's South Kensington on 31st March 2004 and was lot 45, it comes with a photocopy of the accompanying invoice. The other item (Lustre vase) that is listed on the invoice is included in this sale. The ginger retains its original paper lot label. All with overall wear, marks, scratches, signs of age and use. One ginger jar lid with cracks. One ginger jar (Not the Archive sale example) with flaws to the footrim, we think this is a manufacturing/production fault, not damage. There is a similar fault to the footrim of the vase also. The pedestal bowl sounds dull when tapped, we have checked it under a UV light as a result and nothing shows. The Archive sale ginger jar has lots of sticky label/sellotape residue, but we think this would clean off with a gentle wash.
