This collection of utilitarian kitchen storage vessels and accessories is primarily produced by two established British manufacturers, Henry Watson Pottery and C.H. Brannam. The items are formed from unglazed natural red terracotta and decorated with black transfer-printed labels in a traditional typographic style. The pieces from the Henry Watson Pottery Original Suffolk range include a large lidded bread crock, two canisters for sugar and coffee with matching terracotta lids, and a wine cooler. These items feature circular printed marks containing the text The Original Suffolk Crock (or Canister/Wine Cooler) and Made by Henry Watson Pottery England Founded 1800. The pieces from the Mr. Brannam’s Devon Terracotta range include a flour jar with a cork lid, a utensil jar, a salt jar, and smaller canisters for tea, coffee, and sugar. These pieces feature oval transfer marks identifying them as Mr. Brannam’s celebrated Devon Terracotta, the choice of Handymen, Butlers and Cooks to the Nobility. The assortment also includes a simple terracotta jug with a dark glazed rim and handle.
