Object information sheet - Gravy boat and dish
1. What do you call it? Ceramic/ironstone gravy boat and dish
2. What did the maker call it? Gravy boat and dish
3. When was it made? The maker’s mark on the boat/jug possibly dates it from c. 1815, but the dish/saucer could have been manufactured later between 1891-1923 (as ‘England’ was only added to the potter’s mark between these dates.)
4. Where was it made? England
5. Who made the object? Mason’s Pottery
6. Describe how and with what tools/equipment the object was made/ manufactured? The ceramics had a clay body that contained china stone and looked grey in colour. The process used scoria or slag of Ironstone pounded and ground in water, with certain proportions of flint, Cornwall stone and clay, and blue oxide of cobalt. The best painters and craftsmen were used but it was machine and mass produced to make prices affordable.
7. How was it used? To serve gravy or sauces
8. Where was it used? At Manning Clark House
9. In what circumstance was it made or used? To use as table ware
10. When and where was it last used? Possibly still currently being used
11. Has it been used for any other purpose? No
12. Has the object been altered in any way? No

14. What were the original colours? Blue and white (the white has a greyish tinge, due to the manufacturing process.)
15. How did you acquire the object? It is the property of MCH
16. Could you list any known owners and how they acquired the object? Dymphna and Manning Clark inherited the dinner ware, as it was bought in England by Dymphna’s mother Anna in 1924.
17. Are there any places, people, stories associated with the object? Visitors and guests at MCH included such contributors to Australia’s cultural life as Patrick White, Sidney Nolan, Geoffrey and Ninette Dutton, Arthur and Yvonne Boyd, Ken and Amirah Inglis, Don Baker, Humphrey McQueen, David Campbell, Barry Humphries, Helen Garner, Bill Gammage, Gough and Margaret Whitlam, to name but a few.
18.Record any additional information. It follows the Asian-inspired willow pattern design, with an all over design on the boat and just a border design on the dish. It displays crazing in the glaze. It was
purchased by Dymphna’s mother in 1924, thus it is assumed that the whole dinner service was most likely bought as a set. However, as the boat displays the marking ‘Mason’s Ironstone China’, which was used from c. 1815, and the dish shows the marking ‘Mason’s Patent Ironstone China ENGLAND’ which dates it to between 1891-1923, it may not have been manufactured as a set. The dish roughly measures 9” long by 5 1/2” wide and the boat and dish together stand 4 ¾” high.
The gravy boat and dish are normally kept behind the glass doors of the crockery cabinet, located at the end of the dining area.

Description of object:
The objects have a blue and white Asian inspired willow pattern design, with an all over design on the boat and just a border design on the dish. There is a greyish tinge to the glaze due to the manufacturing process. It displays crazing in the glaze. It is assumed that it is most likely a set, but the boat displays the marking ‘ Mason’s Ironstone China’, which was used from c. 1815, and the dish shows ‘Mason’s Patent Ironstone China ENGLAND’ which dates it to between 1891-1923. The dish roughly measures 9” long by 5 ½” wide and the boat and dish together stand 4 3/4” high.

They are in relatively good condition and have good provenance, having been in the family’s possession since Anna bought them in England in 1924. Their main significance is their representativeness of Dymphna and Manning’s habit of entertaining many distinguished Australians, academic colleagues and students, throughout their married life.

Description of object:
A work apron is made from re-cycled sheeting material. The body of the apron is made from a blue and white cotton material with a pattern of flowers and butterflies, and the trim, ties, waistband and neck strap is a plain red/fuchsia colour. There is a pocket on the right hand side of the skirt.

Statement of significance
Dymphna’s home-made apron has social significance as an artefact of her domestic role, demonstrating her frugality and ethic of ‘making do’, a precursor of early environmentalism. The apron symbolises the largely bygone domestic career of Australian married women up to quite recent times. It is rare, most likely being one of a kind, made by her from re-used sheeting.
