Description:
An earthenware ewer and basin printed in two of Thomas Mayer's Canova Series patterns: The ewer is printed in the assigned pattern name Canova #8 and the basin is in Canova #6. The patterns are documented in the Transferware Collectors Club Pattern and Source Print Database. The borders are printed in pink and the centers in green. Mayer used a different central pattern for each item produced in this series. The gondola, for which the pattern is named, is not seen in all of the center patterns, however, a large urn of varying shapes on a pedestal, also of different shapes, is consistently present in each pattern. This pattern is said to have been one of the most sought after light colored subjects to be collected as a set in America. It was produced in pink, black, blue, brown, green, purple, and combinations of two colors. Additional makers of this pattern include George Phillips and Goodwins & Harris.
