Description
George Jones (attrib), 'Chinese Junk' teapot, Late 19th c., polychrome tin glazed majolica pottery, modeled as a boat carrying fish and packages, the lid topped with a fisherman, underside marked "GJ" and illegible registry diamond, 8"h x 12"l x 4"w
Provenance: Property from a private New Jersey Collection
Notes/Literature: See R. Cluett, George Jones Ceramics 1861-1951, 1998, pp. 66 and 272 for one of the other two examples and a listing for pattern 3520. The author notes that the traditional title for this piece as the 'Gondolier' teapot is almost certainly due to an error and a misreading of the George Jones pattern books. Please note the pattern lists describe 3520 B as 'Gondolier'.
