WHITE IRONSTONE NOTES

VOL. 15 No. 3 WINTER 2009

FRAMED LEAF SHAPES

Above is an example of a JW Pankhurst’s Framed Leaf com-pote. Framed Leaf is a descriptive name given by JeanWetherbee to a few shapes with leaves that are in an arch at thetop and sometimes at the bottom of panels. JW Pankhurst(1850- 1852) followed by JW Pankhurst & Co. (1852-1858) andSamuel Alcock & Co. (1833 – 1859) and E Challinor (1851-1862) - all potted different versions. The differences are clearly

shown on pages four & five. The early Gothic shape influenceis apparent in the panels. And like the very successful T&RBoote 1851 and Sydenham (1853) shapes, which embellishedtheir vertical panels with embossed motifs, we suspect that themodeler was trying to capitalize on Boote’s success by creatinga similar shape and adding the framed leaf on the paneled Gothicform.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESKFirst, we want to thank all of our

members who responded to our requestfor information on their Framed Leafitems. It helped us to reinforce ourresearch and archives.

Several times in the New or Unusualpages, we mentioned the use of our ref-erence library to solve the mysteriesthat were presented to us. Without thePlate Book, or the Pitcher Books, or theTeapot Book, or Wetherbee’sCollector’s Guide, we wouldn’t havebeen able to cross reference or just leafthrough to find an image of a shape.All of these books are for sale throughour WICA Shoppe. This is an invalu-able resource especially to those of ourmembers who are dealers.

However, there are some shapes thatshow up which may still puzzle the col-lector. We are discovering shapes thathave not yet been published and puttingthem together in a future Encyclopedia.Examples are to be found on page 10and 14 of this issue.

Usually, these shapes are unmarkedwith a registered name, and it becomesour responsibility to name them. Wetake that responsibility very serious.Checking as carefully as we can to seeif one of our sister clubs, (among othersearches) knows of the shape and hasalready named it. We remember JeanWetherbee telling us of how she namedScalloped Decagon. She had found aplate in this shape. It was ten-sided.Later she found an eight-sided teapotand still later, an oval vegetable. Bythen, everyone who had this shape, wasused to calling it Scalloped Decagon.And even worse, we later found a piecethat had an impressed diamond registryand the name Cambridge Shape!

So, as you can probably see, doingthis newsletter never gets boring. Butwe depend on you, our members, to askquestions and make suggestions that setus off on these journeys of discovery.Use our e-mail or send us letters to theaddress in the left hand column.

I know we asked this question beforebut have forgotten the answer. H & GLate Harvey is the same as which otherpotter??? Purchased an open servingbowl by late Harvey. Pattern around topedge looks very much like 1851 Boote.Can't seem to find it's proper name.Thanks so much.

Paul & Deb Lower *******************************We answered, C&WK Harvey (1835-1853) became - Holland &Green.(1853-1882). They made aDouble Sydenham aka/ WrappedSydenham which may be the shape youare trying to identify. See example inour Plate Book pgs 58-59.*******************************

We received this very excited e-mailfrom Cindy Barber. Cindy wrote abeautiful article on her Potomac Shapecollection in Vol. 12, No. 3.*******************************

Well, Lannie and I barely ever havetime any more to look for ironstone orenjoy our collection. But he found thePotomac punch/toddy bowl (minus alid, if it ever had one) on ebay and wewon it for $68.00! (We put a lot morethan that in on it!) It is MUCH nicerthan the photos showed and definitelyanother piece we never thought wewould see. Love it!! Then we wonsome little dishes that might be child’splates but were outbid on the bread &butter size that we have zero of. Shouldhave put a higher bid in on those!

PA that none of us had ever seen. It wasRibbed Raspberry with Bloom by J&GMeakin. One of those ribbed shapesthat take your breath away when yousee the fine carving of the tiny ribs andthe detail on the raspberries and thefoliage. (See it on page 18.) We calledthe Moseley’s and they offered to sendus photos of it for the Winter Notes andsaid that it was missing the tray. Afterthey arrived, we remembered getting aphoto of the tray a few years ago andfound a photo in WICA’s archives.Photos of the Moseley soup tureen bowllid and the tray are all shown in theCollectors Showcase on the last page.Harry and Audrey would like to buy thetray from the member that sent us thephoto.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

As the Morelands wait for their coun-try house to defrost -- no power for fourdays and counting due to the ice stormthat struck Columbia County on Dec. 11-- our hearts are warmed by the thoughtof next year’s convention in May inbeautiful Chautauqua, New York.Convention Chair Adele Armbrusterand Program Committee Chair ErnieDieringer are putting together an out-standing convention. The details arereviewed elsewhere in this issue ofNotes, including our first ever silentauction, outstanding lectures andexhibits on sugar bowls and ladles, andour regular highlights. The auctionshould be a special high point since weare doing it in the afternoon for the firsttime and thus free of the somnolenteffects of the evening banquet.

Our strategic planning effort contin-ues apace, under the leadership of BobHohl’s Governance Committee. Anumber of significant changes havealready been approved by the Board,including the election of officers by themembers at the annual meeting (ratherthan by the Board). This significantchange will be enacted in the form of aBylaw amendment.

I want to solicit your help on oneimportant matter: membership recruit-ing. In common with most antique col-lector organizations, WICA continues toexperience a decline in membership.While our decline is more modest thansome other organizations, we still need

to address this issue by reinvigoratingour recruitment efforts. I urge each ofyou to bring in at least one new memberto WICA this year. Anyone joining forthe modest membership fee of $30 getsa free copy of the Teapot Book that theDieringers put together a few years ago.We all know what enjoyment we get outof our WICA membership. We need topropagate the faith with other ironstonecollectors, and potential new collectors.Think children or grandchildren. A giftmembership in WICA might ignite orheighten an interest in white ironstone,once they see the wonderful WhiteIronstone Notes, and hopefully attend aregional or a convention. More gener-ally, if you have ideas as to how we canincrease our membership, please be intouch with Harry Moseley, Chair of ourMembership Recruiting and RetentionCommittee.

Craig Mattice, Chair of ourNominating Committee, in this issue ofNotes solicits your suggestions for can-didates for WICA director and officerpositions. We will need a newPresident, as one example, since I amnot standing for reelection next year. Ithas been a great pleasure to serve, butthis year seems a logical point for me tostep down since I am retiring from mylaw firm in 2009. In the immortalwords of Sidney Claire, “please don’ttalk about me when I’m gone.”

See you in Chautauqua. As always,please feel free to contact me concern-ing WICA.

ALCOCK FRAMED LEAF

Alcock’s Framed Leaf has a similar leaf motifto Pankhurst’s on the panels, but the bodies ofsome of the pieces are more rounded.

Most of this shape is found with a SamuelAlcock & Co. printed mark. There is also animpressed mark with Hill Pottery, Burslem.The Hill Pottery works were active (1833-1859). Framed Leaf was probably potted in theearly 1850’s, it was made with 6 and 8 both flator rounded panels. There are Sydenham stylefinials and also a Moorish ring shape. It wasprobably not in production very long. Very littleof it has been found.

Vol. 15.3

PANKHuRST FRAMED LEAF

No Patent Registry mark has been foundPankhurst’s Framed Leaf. Two printed Lion &Unicorn marks and one impressed mark areshown below. J W Pankhurst began in 1850 andused the first mark. In 1852 a partnership withJohn Dimmock was made and they traded attimes as JW Pankhurst & Co. from 1852 to1882. There seem to be two different Pankhurstshapes - a more flat paneled rectangular one -and a softer more rounded one. (see chamber setpieces on page 6 & 7). The vegetable tureen andtea set below show the framed leaf on the pan-els. Compare them to the child-size tea and din-ner sets on page 8 – They are identical except forthe missing framed leaf motif. It is the onlychild’s matching tea and dinner set (as yet)found in white Ironstone china. That alonemakes collecting Pankhurst’s Framed Leaf verydesirable. Strange that we have not found amember that has a collection of it.

1850-1852

1852-1858

1852-1858

Vol. 15.3

The bath set pieces are missing a mug, and possibly atoothbrush vase. The small pitcher is on the facing page.


(Continued from page 1) A patent registry date has not beenfound on any piece of Framed Leaf but we know thatPankhurst’s manufactured it between 1850 and 1858 - since bothPankhurst and Pankhurst & Co., were only in business for thatshort time. Neither the Pankhurst nor the Alcock versions can beeasily found. There are newly discovered pieces by EdwardChallinor. (see pg. 10) We were able to gather four pages ofPankhurst pieces and only one page of Samuel Alcock and oneof E Challinor. Mugs, brush vases, punch cups, bakers, wastebowls, well & tree platters, butter/pancake dishes (and others)

have yet to be found by the three potters. Single pieces areknown by C. Meigh and I Meir & son. (see pg 9)

Pankhurst did do something that no other white ironstone pot-ter did. They made a child’s- Paneled Gothic - full dinner set anda tea set. It is identical to the adult size Framed Leaf but it hasno framed leaves! (see Pg.8) The child’s teapot and sugar havefinials that resemble berries or a grape cluster in a crown ofleaves and the finials on the covered pieces of the dinner set areseed pods (some collectors have called them short corn on thecobs) mounted at a slight angle.

The above flat-paneled ewer, basin and footbath mayhave had matching flat-paneled soap and brush boxes. Thesoap box and brush box (above and left) do match the ewerin the upper right on page 7 which probably had a match-ing rounded basin.

Vol. 15.3

Toddy or punch bowl with beautiful spiral handles that areattached to the bowl with the Framed Leaf motif. (Stork coll.)


Pankhurst also produced these softer,rounder versions of pitchers.

This rare hot water pitcher was found after the PitcherBook was published. The lid has the tea set finial, acluster of berries in a crown of leaves, 8”high.

Octagon ewer (left) and creamer (above).

Vol. 15.3


Above is a child’s dinner set.Pankhurst did something unusual when creating the children’s

teaset and dinner set. The framed leaf pattern was eliminated.Compare the tiny pieces without the Framed Leaf to the adult sizesoup tureen and compote on this page. The gravy has a slightly dif-ferent handle, but all of the finials and handles are on an identicalbody shape. Below is the teaset shown with an orange for scale.With or without the framed leaf, it is a beautiful shape.

The soup tureen finial is some kind of seed pod. It seemstoo stubby to be a modified corn cob. It has beautiful leavesembossed with curved arches. The handles arch out in attrac-tive spirals and it sits on a plateau under tray with leaves onthe handles.

Vol. 15.3

This creamer is marked C. Meigh. Charles Meigh &Son and Pankhurst were in business together for oneyear, 1849-1850.(Hohl coll.)

A teapot without framed leaf,unmarked, but has been seen with aGoodfellow mark. This teapot istalmost identical the Alcock teapoton page 4.

MISCELLANEOuS FRAMED LEAF

The plate is marked I. (John) Meir, and hasbeen given the designated name of FramedLeaf.

The two top photos are cookieplates. The one on he left isunmarked and the one on the righthas an impressed anchor markwhich is similar to the AnchorPottery, Trenton, New Jersey markin Kovel’s book, pg. 72-I.

Vol. 15.3

CHALLINOR’S FRAMED LEAF

This shape was unknown until Harry Moseleyfound a plate he couldn’t identify in the PlateBook. We all decided to call the plateChallinor’s Framed Leaf. Several months laterwe saw a vegetable tureen at the home ofBronwen Morris. It took a little while for us todiscover that the vegetable matched the plate butwhen we did, we realized this was a whole newshape. Then the teapot showed up and justrecently the sauce tureen. We have not yet founda piece with a diamond registry so it is possiblethat the shape was never registered.

Some of these pieces have an EdwardChallinor, Fenton printed mark (shownabove). c (1853- 1862) It is the same timeframe as the Pankhurst and Alcock ver-sions. It has four divisions almost toolarge to be considered panels. It is distin-guished by its round and or oval body andits beautiful ring finial topped with a tre-foil leaf.

Vol. 15.3

NEW OR UNUSUAL

Bob Hohl was unable to identify this Bridgwood & Clarkevegetable tureen and sent digital pictures to us. We real-ized that it was the same shape we had created a name forin our Pitcher Book on page 19. The pitcher was pottedby E. Clarke but had also been seen marked Bridgwood &Clarke. The name of the shape is Alternate Panels.

Morning Glory or Clematis Vine, March 1879 Similar to thejug by W. Adams & Son, in Pitcher Book II, page 18. We aremore inclined to think CB is Clementson Brothers.

Seen on eBay.

This relish is another new shape which has been namedArum shape. James Edwards seldom included animpressed name on his ironstone.

See mini profile on this shape on page 14.Seen on eBay.

Vol. 15.3

NEW OR UNUSUAL

A new addition to the “Grenade type” relishes whichwe covered in our article on relishes, Vol. 4, no. 3.This one by E. Corn is impressed Senate Shape, reg-istered May 30, 1860. T. & R. Boote registered acompletely different Senate Shape in 1870.Seen on eBay.

The diamond registry mark dates this JamesEdwards jug as July 12, 1865, #188167. It is iden-tified in Cushion’s list of known Patent OfficeRegistration Marks.

Nick & I are cleaning out the basement shelves of iron-stone, some of which we've had for ages. One of thethings we uncovered was this funny little pitcher. It'sobviously some kind of Sydenham variation, but not onethat I can identify. The shields have an extended, pointedtop and the top is different from any I've seen. I was hop-ing that you might be able to shed some light on what itmight be.

Elijah Hughes must not have done much as this is thefirst time I've had a piece from this firm.

Linda & Nick Maro

This rare Pearl Sydenham type creamer with aimpressed mark that clearly reads Ironstone China, EHughes was probably made by Elijah Hughes 1853-1867Cobridge. We have seen only a couple of pieces by him,including a 9" tall Pearl Sydenham type pitcher by aThomas Hughes. But we have found no evidence of a con-nection between the two potters who potted in differenttowns.

Vol. 15.3

NEW OR UNUSUAL

A cheese dish in the shape of a castle tower was seen on eBayin November 2008. The finial/handle is a smaller tower. Ithas embossed bricks with ivy vines wrapped around thetower wall and its base plate. The registry diamond mark isDecember 1, 1870 and was registered by Wm. Brownfield.It is identified in the book, Cheese Dishes by Audry Dudson,which is impressed with the name “Tower.”

Jane Diemer sent us pictures of this stew tureen and wanted our opinionon what shape it was. “We think your tureen is a version of Wild RoseTwig. See the identical finial and handles above on a soup tureen / toddybowl? They just went to a 12 paneled shape to use the finial and han-dles on a paneled body instead of a round or oval one. (See oval versionbelow right) It has been done before by Davenport and Wedgwood intheir Scallop Decagon/Cambridge shape, where they have eight and tensided versions as well as oval and round ones.”

ARUM SHAPE PROFILE

Marcia Waldemar found a teapot that she could not identify. Unsure of her photographyskills, she made wonderful drawings of the embossment. There were marks on the teapotand a diamond registry of James Edwards & Son, registered November 29, 1865, #192963.A second mark was found; March 21, 1867.

We contacted Carl Gortzig who knows a thing or two about botany. He sent us this let-ter.

“My ID is that the plant on the teapot is in the Araceae or Arum family of plants. Youwill recognize many of them by their sagittate leaves which sometimes trend toward has-tate, in which the lower prongs of the leaf protrude considerably back from the main leaf.Plants in this family include Taro, philodendron, calla lily, jack-in-the-pulpit, peace lily(Spathyphyllum), etc. They are characterized by a spath flower and the fruit that is berry-like. The fruit represented in the finial certainly doesn’t go with this family but the foliagesure does. The fruit represented in the finial is not known to me as that of any commonplant family. I suggest as a botanical name, Arum, the common name for the Aracea fami-ly. Has a nice ring to it, too!”

Ladles, Ladles, Ladles

As you may know, I am giving a talk at Convention 2009 on white ironstone ladles, and JeanneAtkinson, with assistance from Mary Ann Ulmann, is coordinating an exhibit of ladles and somematching hollowware. Ernie Dieringer is acting as our expert consultant. In preparation for theseevents, we are trying to identify by pattern as many ladles as possible.

Please help us with this project in two ways:

First, if you have some ladles, please send a list of them to me -- I will share withErnie and Jeanne as needed -- by email, fax or snail. If you are pressed for time, a simple list (or evena phone call) will do: identify each ladle generally by size -- sauce, soup or mid-size -- and also noteany maker's marks, and name the pattern if you know it. If you have more time, it would be mosthelpful if you would complete and submit the detailed Ladles Form, with photos, that is enclosedwith this issue of Notes (and is also posted on the WICA website). Either way I will be in touch if weneed a photo or further information about a particular ladle, or if Jeanne Atkinson would like it forthe exhibit if possible.

Second, through the good work of Rick Nielsen, we have posted on the MembersOnly section of the WICA website photos of many ladles that we have not identified by pattern. Pleasetake a look and let me and Ernie know of any identifications of patterns you can offer, however ten-tative.

The WICA website is at www.whiteironstonechina.com. Click on the Members Only box. Then enter(all lower case) the user name, jacob, and the password, furnival. Then click on the balloon labeled"Unknown Ladles" and you will see the photos.

Many thanks, and hope to see you (and maybe some of your ladles or their pictures) at theConvention.

APRIL 30 - MAY 3, 2009

IT’S WICA’S 15TH NATIONAL CONVENTION – PLAN NOW TO ATTEND APRIL 30 – MAY 3, 2009

WINTER, 2009 1

Welcome to WICA’s 15th National Convention April 30 through May 3, 2009, and to southwestern New York’s Chautauqua County—a place to play, laugh, renew, and relax. Well known for its lakes, wineries, and cultural, culinary, and resort centers, Chautauqua County has long-been the destination for family vacations, romantic rendezvous, and outdoor retreats. It’s located less than three hours, and less than a tank of gas, from Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Rochester, Niagara Falls, and Toronto and within an easy drive from Buffalo and Erie.

We’ll celebrate WICA’s 15th anniversary at the new Chautauqua Suites Meeting and Expo Center situated on Lake Chautauqua in Mayville, New York. We’ll learn more about this fascinating area through Thursday and Friday, April 30 and May 1, tours which highlight the Suites, Chautauqua Institution and its Athenaeum Hotel, Mazza Chautauqua Cellars, the Fenton History Center, and the Lucy-Desi Center.

And, beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, May 1, we’ll spend a weekend immersed in white ironstone. There’ll be educational presentations and displays focusing on ladles and sugar bowls, a show, tell and ask presentation, a spectacular auction, and a flea market and show and sale offering for sale several thousand items of white ironstone. Plan now to join in the fun!

A complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning in this four-season destination, which is also the home of five-star Olive's Restaurant featuring Italian creations daily, and the Bellini Lounge.

While at the Suites plan to take the complimentary shuttle from the Suites to the Red Brick Farm Marketplace, Chautauqua’s shopping oasis which features shops and boutiques surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds. Shops include Creative Finishes, The Biggest Little Shop, The Perfect Setting, Timeless Antiques, What’s New with Ewe, Say it with Flowers, and Regional Flavors.

WINTER, 2009 3

During onsite convention registration, members will also have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets, pay their 2009-2010 dues of just $30 per household, view the WICA Archives and the Membership Information table, and visit the WICA Shoppe, which will be open during Friday and Saturday registration and intermittently the balance of each day. Dave and Karen Klein will have a wonderful array of items especially for WICA members, including the newest addition—three-button golf-style shirts complete with WICA’s logo. The shirts come in either black or white in an array of sizes. To have your shirt waiting for you at the convention, simply order it using the space provided on the Convention Registration Form.

THE BEST OF CHAUTAUQUA TOUR - THURSDAY, APRIL 30 - $38 PER PERSON After journeying to this wonderful region and taking in the free 2 p.m. Chautauqua Suites tour, WICA members will have an opportunity to relax while enjoying a sampling of Chautauqua’s wineries and cultural and culinary sites.

Mazza Chautauqua Cellars, a Mediterranean-style winery situated along Lake Chautauqua, will be our destination as the Chautauqua Suites shuttle leaves our hotel at 3:45 p.m. At the Cellars, discover a blend of old-world charm and the latest technology and learn about its German-made Christian Carl still, the only one in western New York and the center piece of the building. Relax in this comfortably furnished winery while enjoying a variety of wines paired with breads, cheeses, and fruit. The Cellars is one of 21 wineries which produce award-winning wines in “America’s Grape Country”. Covering 30,000 acres, the 40-mile long Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail in western New York and Pennsylvania is the largest grape-growing region east of the Rockies. http://mcc.mazzawines.com

The Athenaeum Hotel, the “Grand Dame” of the Chautauqua Institution, will be our second stop. This historic hotel sits grandly on a tree-shaded hill overlooking picturesque Chautauqua Lake. We’ll tour this Victorian treasure which has been serving guests in style as a full-service hotel since 1881 and which is now listed on the National Historic Register. Our tour will end in the Parlor Room. Adorned with wicker furnishings and the essence of a by-gone era, this room will set the stage for all to enjoy a scrumptious buffet offering the following three entrees along with appropriate salads and sides as well as desserts: (1) poached Atlantic salmon with fresh dill, (2) carved oven roasted pork loin with gorgonzola cream sauce, and (3) penne pasta sauté with roasted vegetables, sun dried tomatoes and pine nuts. Anyone having dietary restrictions should so indicate on the Convention Registration Form. http://www.ciweb.org/hotel99

JAMESTOWN AND THE CHAUTAUQUA INSTITUTION TOUR - FRIDAY, MAY 1 - $48 PER PERSON

Culture is the emphasis of this Friday tour which begins at 7:55 a.m. aboard the Chautauqua Suites shuttle. We’ll visit the picturesque Victorian villages of Jamestown and the Chautauqua Institution, experience Jamestown history through the Fenton History Center, laugh at the antics of Lucy at the Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Center and have lunch in the famed Tropicana Room.

FENTON HISTORY CENTER in Jamestown will be our first stop. Home to the Fenton Mansion and the Fenton Research Center, this imposing three-story mansion, which overlooks the city of Jamestown, was built in 1863 as a family home by former New York Governor Reuben Eaton Fenton. Its interior conveys an atmosphere of Victorian warmth and stability. A guided tour will include period rooms throughout the mansion as well as exhibits and galleries devoted to Chautauqua Lake and Institution, Lucille Ball, the Civil War and World War I, the Underground Railroad in Chautauqua County, and the life of children around 1900. The Fenton History Center is not handicapped accessible. http://www.fentonhistorycenter.org

LUCILLE BALL-DESI ARNAZ CENTER, home of the new Lucy-Desi Museum and Desilu Playhouse, will be our next stop. With eight distinct galleries, seven screening opportunities, Lucille Ball's monogrammed 1972 gold Mercedes-Benz, and a delightful gift shop, the new Lucy-Desi Museum in downtown Jamestown is a must-visit! You'll learn about the early lives of The First Couple of Comedy, see the piano from Lucy's grade school in Celoron, enjoy the beautiful gowns and costumes from her wardrobe, see paintings and photographs that once hung in their home in Beverly Hills, view movie posters from their extensive big screen careers, and so much more! This newest of the area's attractions is right next door to the Desilu Playhouse which displays exact replicas of the “I Love Lucy” television studio sets and is the permanent home of the “I Love Lucy” 50th Anniversary Tour that traveled the country in 2001-2002 to celebrate the most popular show ever on television. The Playhouse is also home to the Tropicana Room, a reproduction of Ricky Ricardo’s famous nightclub where WICA members will enjoy lunch while viewing “L.A. at Last”, the Brown Derby episode with William Holden during which Lucy burns her nose. In keeping with the episode,


4 WINTER, 2009

lunch will include spaghetti and meatballs, salad, Italian bread, and chocolate mousse. Please indicate any dietary restrictions on the Convention Registration Form. http://www.lucy-desi.com/

The Lucytown Tour will follow lunch. This delightful and historic look at Lucy’s hometown, features the homes where The Queen of Comedy was born and grew up, theaters where she performed, places where she attended school, the cemetery where she is buried with her family, and much more.

CHAUTAUQUA INSTITUTION will be our final stop as the shuttle travels back to the Suites. A guide will board the shuttle for a 60-minute tour of the grounds and we will disembark at the Institution’s library and bookstore. The Chautauqua Institution, located on Chautauqua Lake is a non-for-profit organization that serves as a community, a center, and a resource where the human spirit is renewed, minds stimulated, faith restored and the arts valued. Designated a National Historic Landmark June 30, 1989, the village has an international reputation as a center for the arts, education, religion and recreation. For nine weeks each year, from late June through late August, the Institution offers a rich blend of arts, programming and recreational activities. Its educational mission is continued during the rest of the year with programs for older adults, Elderhostels and other learning programs.

Our tour will revisit the lifestyle of a bygone era, where folks strolled on winding brick walks under the shade of huge maple trees. Gingerbread-style cottages, quaint shops, a library, post office and charming gardens nestled together create a living quilt reminiscent of small-town America nearly a century ago. http://www.ciweb.org/

THE CONVENTION BEGINS – FRIDAY, MAY 1, 2009 FIRST TIMERS’ MEETING – OLIVE’S RESTAURANT, ROOM 8 – 5:30 TO 6:30 P.M. This gathering is an introduction to WICA for those folks who are attending a WICA convention for the first time. They will be paired with WICA members who have previously attended one or more conventions. If you would like to serve as a host or hostess to a first-time convention attendee, contact Ted Brockey at 817-354-4644. This is a great way to meet first-time convention attendees and takes less than an hour.

SHOW, TELL AND ASK – EXPO CENTER – 7:30 TO 8:30 P.M. All WICA National Convention attendees are invited and encouraged to participate in the Show, Tell and Ask program chaired by Denise Andre. Each participant may show up to five items in this wonderful educational program. Whether you have an item in a previously identified or new body style, an item with an interesting mark, an item with an unusual form or function, or an item which is simply a mystery, plan now to participate.

This 2009 event will continue with the changes introduced during the 2008 convention. To allow the audience to easily view items as they are being described and shown by their owners, a slide show will be created from photographs submitted by participants. As an item is shown, its image will be projected on a screen. All items will be placed in a viewing area after they are initially shown, and the audience will have an opportunity to see them close up at the end of Show, Tell and Ask.

As Show, Tell and Ask will immediately follow the 6:30 p.m. WICA Welcome Dinner, participants should bring their wrapped items with them to dinner and place them in the holding area until it’s time to unveil them.

Denise will be hard at work before the convention to establish the order of the participants and their items. Please complete the enclosed Show, Tell and Ask Participation Form and submit it as well as photos of the items and their marks to Denise by March 16, 2009. Digital photos in jpg format are preferred. They as well as scanned forms may be sent via e-mail to [email protected]. Use postal mail to send hard-copy forms and/or photos to WICA Show, Tell and Ask Program, 6031 W. Barry Avenue, Chicago, IL 60634-5106. If you have any questions, you may contact Denise via e-mail or call her at 773-804-1575.

$1 TO $75 FLEA MARKET AND TOPS AND BOTTOMS SWAP – EXPO CENTER – 8:45 TO 10 P.M. Boyd Payne is the chairperson for this combined event which provides WICA members the first of three opportunities to purchase white ironstone during the convention. Items will be priced at $75 or less, with the exception of spare parts which may bear any price. Set up for this event will be from 4 to 6:30 p.m.; the area will not be accessible during the WICA Welcome Dinner and Show, Tell and Ask.

Any WICA member may exhibit at this event, which is an excellent avenue for downsizing a collection. You never know who may be interested in purchasing your items or spare parts. The $15 per table rental fee is payable when remitting the Convention Registration Form. If you indicate on the Convention Registration Form that you will be selling at this event, your name will be forwarded to Boyd. If you have any questions regarding the event, Boyd may be contacted at [email protected] or 336-227-7377.

WINTER, 2009 5

PRESENTATIONS, EXHIBITS, ANNUAL MEETING, AND RAFFLE – SATURDAY, MAY 2, 2009 THE SCOOP ON LADLES – EXPO CENTER – 9:00 TO 9:45 A.M. The day opens with Olga Moreland giving us "The Scoop

on Ladles" during Saturday morning’s feature presentation. Olga's talk and PowerPoint slide show will illustrate examples of soup, sauce, chowder and stew ladles, ladles for punch, toddy and syllabub bowls, and, with a little luck, a child's ladle or two. Olga would like to include as many ladle body styles as possible in this presentation and in the Ladle Exhibit which will open at 10:45 a.m. Because ladle makers and body styles are not always easy to identify and a good amount of time will be required to identify the ladles for all known body styles, Olga and her expert consultant Ernie Dieringer would like to receive ladle information

from all WICA members as soon as possible and by January 31, 2009, at the latest. The details below indicate how you can provide information and photos for this wonderful presentation and exhibit.

1. If you are pressed for time, send a list of your ladles to Olga or call her. Identify the ladles by body style name, maker’s marks if any, and size such as sauce, soup, or mid-size. Indicate if you would be willing to bring the ladles to the convention for the Ladle Exhibit. Olga will let you know if a photo or further information is required and if you should bring the ladles to the convention for the Ladle Exhibit. She’ll share the information received from you with Ernie Dieringer and also with Jeanne Atkinson, who is chairing the Ladle Exhibit.

2. If you have more time, complete the Ladles - Information Gathering and Display Participation Form enclosed with this convention coverage.

o Use the front and back of the form to describe your ladles - maker (if the ladle is marked or you can confirm that the ladle is original to the item with which it is paired), body style, registry date or circa year, and dimensions.

o Take photos (digital in jpg format preferred) of the ladles and their mark(s).

o Send the form and photos to Olga and Ernie. Olga will determine if the photos and information will be used for her presentation, and she’ll let you know, after consulting with Jeanne Atkinson, if you should bring the ladles to the convention for the Ladle Exhibit. Ernie will retain photos and information for the WICA archives.

3. Review the ladles which have been posted to the WICA website, www.whiteironstonechina.com. Access the website and click on the Members Only box. At the next screen, in lower case, enter the user name jacob and the password furnival. Click on Unknown Ladles. Whether you can positively identify or provide an educated guess for any of the body styles, please contact Olga and Ernie with the information.

Contact information is found below. Scanned forms and digital photos are preferred. Hard-copy forms and photos may be sent via postal mail. Telephone discussions are always welcome.

LADLE EXHIBIT – EXPO CENTER BREAKOUT ROOMS 3 AND 4 – 10:45 TO 11:15 A.M., 5:30 TO 6:30 P.M., AND 9:00 TO 10:00 P.M. WICA member Jeanne Atkinson is chairing the Ladle Exhibit. She’ll be working closely with Olga and Ernie to determine which ladles will be included in the exhibit. Very few ladles are marked, and the exhibit will aim to overcome this silence by providing body style identification for as many ladles as possible, matching them with their hollow ware siblings.


6 WINTER, 2009

SUGAR POTS AND SUGAR BOWLS – EXPO CENTER – 8:00 TO 9:00 P.M. Saturday evening, WICA member Ellen Hill, who has studied ironstone for over 30 years, will present the results of her research on sugar bowls. She has extensively studied the Victorian era and is very knowledgeable regarding the various ironstone items and their uses. Ellen’s fascination with ironstone began with ironstone decorated with the mulberry transfer patterns. She wrote the book Mulberry Ironstone, which concentrated on body styles as well as transferware patterns. Ellen has been active in WICA, TLCI, FBICC, and TCC for many years and because of her knowledge has been called upon often to speak at their national conventions.

SUGAR BOWL EXHIBIT – EXPO CENTER BREAKOUT ROOMS 1 AND 2 – 5:30 TO 6:30 P.M. AND 9:00 TO 10:00 P.M. WICA members Janice Stork and Carol

Fleischman are chairing this exhibit and have been busily contacting WICA members. They hope to have all known white ironstone body styles represented and the various sizes of sugar bowls for each. If you haven’t heard from either of them, contact Janice at [email protected], telephone 269-641-2414 or Carol at [email protected], telephone 815-723-0904 to let them know what you can bring for the exhibit.

ANNUAL MEETING – EXPO CENTER – 9:45 TO 10:45 A.M. There will be a lot to cover in this one-hour meeting after which members will view the exciting Ladle Exhibit and participate in the Auction Preview.

RAFFLE – EXPO CENTER – 7:30 P.M. AFTER THE BANQUET Ticket sales for the raffle have officially begun. Check the current issue of White Ironstone Notes, where photos and full details are to be found. Raffle items include an unmarked Grape Octagon ewer (11.25” tall), a Mayer & Elliot Berlin Swirl covered vegetable tureen (12” handle to handle), an unmarked Raspberry hexagon paneled high-relief creamer (3.5” tall), and an unmarked Sydenham Shape sauce tureen ladle. Raffle proceeds go toward the Education Fund.

The WICA Raffle is open to all WICA members, and members need not attend the convention to win. Use the Convention Registration Form to purchase tickets even if you will not be attending the convention. Two sheets of six raffle tickets each are included with the newsletter. Tickets are priced at $1 each or six for $5. Additional tickets may be obtained online by accessing www.whiteironstonechina.com/raffle.pdf and printing the number of ticket sheets required. Remember to include your completed tickets when returning the Convention Registration Form.

WICA AUCTION – EXPO CENTER – SATURDAY, MAY 2, 2009 – 1:15 P.M. That’s right! The 2009 WICA Auction, will be held immediately after the Saturday luncheon. Auction set-up will be between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. The Auction Preview will begin at 11:15 a.m. and continue until 12:15 p.m. The WICA Auction provides greater opportunity for collectors to purchase white ironstone than any other auction venue. This is the place where rarity, fine detail, great marks, great sculptural form, and wonderful white color come together. Plan now to make the 2009 WICA Auction your best source for buying white ironstone.

AUCTIONEER Dennis Jackson, owner of Jackson’s Auction & Real Estate Company of Anderson, Indiana, will be back to call WICA’s 2009 auction. WICA’s major fundraiser is certain to get lively and be fast-paced with Dennis at the helm! Dennis is dedicated to providing the best possible auction service for WICA and its consignors. Jackson’s Auction & Real Estate Company has successfully conducted antique and estate auctions for over thirty years! Dennis is known as one of the leading Midwestern auctioneers for the sale of estates, antiques and fine arts. To learn more about Dennis and his auction and real estate company, go to http://www.jacksonsauctioncompany.com.

CONSIGNORS/DONORS. Your help is needed to assure the success of the auction. Approximately 200 consignments and donations of good quality white ironstone items are required to make this an interesting and diverse auction. All WICA members are encouraged to consign and/or donate items to the auction. Members can consign some items and donate others, and members need not attend the convention to do so. If a member cannot attend the convention he/she may consign and/or donate lots as long as arrangements are made with someone who is registered for the convention to deliver and check in the consignments and/or donations.

Members are encouraged to consign and/or donate lots consisting of one or more items having a total estimated value of $50 or more, with the understanding that there will not be a restriction on the opening bid. Do you have items which need a new home? Are you planning to dispose of all or part of your white ironstone collection? Do you pass up good buys because you are not collecting that particular body style? If yes, to any of these questions, then consider consigning or donating to the 2009 auction.

AUCTION CONSIGNMENT/DONATION AGREEMENT is included with this convention package and is also on WICA’s website. Your completed form and digital (preferred) or hard-copy photos of consignments and donations are due to Off-Site Auction Chairperson Adele Armbruster by March 1, 2009.

RESERVE SELLING PRICE OPTION. Consignors will pay a non-refundable fee of $10 for each lot on which they place a reserve selling price of $100 or more. A reserve should reflect a reasonable and attainable amount and not necessarily the retail value of the lot. The consignor should determine the least amount he/she would like to clear when establishing a reserve for a lot. Donors may not place a reserve selling price on donations. The consignor will submit to WICA a signed copy of the Auction Consignment/Donation Agreement Form and a check equal to the total of all reserve fees for consignments listed on the Agreement. Reserve selling price lots will not be accepted if the $10 fee per item is not received with the signed Agreement. Lots on reserve will not be identified as such in the Auction Catalog or by the auctioneer. They are to be sold to the highest bidder who submits a bid equal to or greater than the reserve. If the reserve selling price of the consigned lot is not met, the lot will be returned to the consignment table and picked up by the consignor at the conclusion of the auction.

THE SHOW AND SALE – SUNDAY, MAY 3, 2009 Before heading home, check out the Expo Center between 9 and 10:30 a.m. where the greatest display of white ironstone ever assembled in one location at the same time will be found. The variety and quantity is always astounding. Exhibitor set up for the Show and Sale will be 7 to 9 a.m.

Any WICA member may sell white ironstone at this final convention event, which offers another excellent opportunity to sell items from a personal collection. The $15 per table rental fee is payable when remitting the Convention Registration Form included with this convention coverage. If you indicate on the Convention Registration Form that you will be selling at this event, your name will be forwarded to Show and Sale Chairperson Rick Nielsen who will send you a contract and additional information regarding the event. He may be contacted at [email protected] or 314-997-7963.

PACKAGING AND SHIPPING SERVICE – SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, MAY 2 AND 3, 2009 We are negotiating for a packaging and shipping service to be available during the convention Auction on Saturday, May 2, and Show and Sale on Sunday, May 3. If you feel you would use this service to pack and ship your convention acquisitions or if you may purchase packing materials from them, please so note on the Convention Registration Form. A decision as to whether or not such a service will be retained will be based upon the number of affirmative responses received.

WINTER, 2009 9

Regardless of the method you use to apply for the Certificate of Authority, the following responses may help you in completing the form. Questions are the same for either method.

• Question 13. Indicate you will begin business in New York State for sales tax purposes on May 1, 2009.

• Question 14. If your application is for that of a temporary vendor only, you will end your business on May 3, 2009. This will apply to most WICA members who have need for a Sales Tax Certificate of Authority. Between June 1 and June 20, 2009, WICA members who are temporary vendors will be required to submit a sales tax return along with any tax collected. They will mark the return “Final” in order to close out the Sales Tax Certificate of Authority and avoid any further contact with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.

• Question 17. The answer is “yes” to the question “Will you participate solely in flea markets, antique shows, or other shows?”

• Question 20. Enter “Sale and purchase of antiques” in the text box provided for a brief written description of your business activities.

• Question 21a and 21b. 454390 is the six digit NAICS code for the principal and secondary business activities. If you are submitting the application through www.nys-permits.org, you must use the menu. Select an industry type = Retail Trade. Select a sub category for your industry = None store Retailers. Select a code that best matches your primary business activity = 454390 Other Direct Selling Establishments (including non-food peddlers, & show & entertainment peddlers).

Sales tax collected during the Flea Market and/or the Show and Sale should be remitted to the State of New York by June 20, 2009, to avoid penalty and interest. Form ST-100, New York State and Local Quarterly Sales and Use Tax Return for the period March 1 through May 31, 2009, will be available on www.nystax.gov in May. That site also provides the option to web file your sales tax return through the Online Tax Center. The only jurisdiction for which you will be filing is Chautauqua County (CH 0641). If you obtained a Certificate of Authority as a temporary vendor, remember to discontinue your business on this return. Full instructions are available on the website.
