Pair Of Large Early 19th Century Terracotta Pineapple Finials ( sold )
A fine pair of large scale, early 19th century buff terracotta pineapple finials. Both the fruit and slip, boldly and yet finely cast, standing on a simple socle, the whole with traces of old paint, some nibbles and small losses.
Pineapples used decoratively and architecturally in the 18th and 19th centuries, were a show of hospitality, wealth and prestige.
I cannot find a comparable design to this pair of finials, but the fine casting, bold fruit, the composition of the terracotta all point to be produced by either Coade, Blanchard or Blashfield.
