A PINXTON FLUTED TEA AND COFFEE SERVICE, 1796-1813 with pink and gilt band , slop basin 15cm diam (29)Provenance: Mary Anne Jackson, nee Miller (1818-1881) a "Pottery Decorator" of Darley Dale, Derbyshire; thence by descent to the present vendor. Pattern unrecorded by Gent (The Patterns and Shapes of the Pinxton Porcelain Factory 1796-1813, Pinxton 1996) This lot has been in the vendor's family since the early 19th century. Thomas Jackson (1792-1838) was a farmer. He and his wife, Mary had ten children. Their ninth, Horace, was born in 1813 at Wildersley Farm, Belper. Horace married Mary Anne Milner (1811-1881) of Darley Dale in 1838. There being no business in farming for the younger sons, Horace, his wife, and two of their children (Herbert and Isaac, like their father, saddlers) moved to Denton, near Manchester where they set up business. Horace's dismay at leaving his childhood home is recounted in his poem 'Farewell to Wildersley' in an anthology of his poems, 'Stray Thoughts', published posthumously by his son. Isaac Jackson (1857-1922) married Harriet Martin (1857-1930) in Stockport and set up business in his own right as a saddler and harness maker in Glossop. He later patented and manufactured various industrial products and munitions becoming a rich industrialist and philanthropist (see Birch, A H (1959) 'Small Town Politics', Oxford OUP at p28 and various Glossop Heritage Society website entries). The Glossop bar 'Isaac's' is named after him Isaac and Harriet Jackson had five children, one of whom, Beatrice Beckmann, nee Jackson, was the seller's grandmother. The Pinxton passed to her and thence to the seller's mother, also Beatrice, who died in Glossop in 1977. ++One coffee can cracked, one saucer lacking part of the foot ring; several pieces with slight wear
