Description: Here is a little Mauchline ware woodenspill pot with a transfer of the Chateau de Chambord 65 mm high x 55mm diameter at top .Total unpackaged weight 30 grammes. Mauchline ware is the name given to small wooden items, produced in the town of Mauchline near Kilmarnock in Scotland from about the 1820s by the firm of W & A Smith and were originally decorated with hand painted and hand drawn designs such as tartan, landscape and Scottish scenes and ferns, and then after about 1850 with transfer prints, which were coated with clear varnish.Most items were made from sycamore wood, which is a close grained pale coloured (almost white) timber in its unpolished state.Its popularity increased after visitors to the Great Exhibition in 1851 had admired the Mauchline ware on display. Adding to the popularity of Mauchline ware, was the tourist market which was assisted by the building of railway lines to open up the country. The tourist wanted something small and easily transportable, as a memento of their holiday and named Mauchline ware souvenirs were produced for this market.A variety of nick-nacks were made, including spectacle, needle and card cases; money, stamp, games and snuff boxes, egg timers, paper knives, napkin rings souvenir and Christmas ware. By 1900 the market for Mauchline ware had began to decline and in the mid 1930s, the factory closed. Thanks for looking and please keep an eye on my listings.
