Maker: Hackwood  Pattern: Castle

Fabulous, very unusual toast rack with castellations to the pierced bars. The base is decorated with rose design. Castle is the name we have given the design, although Castellated House would also be apposite. A similar toast rack was featured in the True Blue Exhibition in 1998 and was marked with a blue printed H, believed to be for William Hackwood of Eastwood, Hanley active 1827 to 1843.
No backstamp.
Featured on pages 59 and 101 of the True Blue Catalogue.
Underneath the rack there are two rim chips and a little minor damage to the foot rim. There is some pitting and loss of glaze to the castellations but overall this is a fabulous piece.

Dimensions: Base 18 cm x 10 cm / Base 7 ins x 4 ins
