The Nick Routson Collection Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates is honored to present Part One of the Americana Collection of Nick Routson, Phoenix, Arizona, featuring historical Staffordshire and other important ceramics. After four decades of searching out and acquiring transfer-printed American historical and scenic views, Mr. Routson has assembled one of the preeminent and most comprehensive collections of its kind in the world. This significant collection, which comprises nearly 1,000 pieces overall, will be offered over the course of four outstanding, unreserved auctions. Nick was introduced to historical blue and white Staffordshire through family friends when, as a 21-year-old, he was gifted a “Cottage in the Woods” cup plate. From that moment, a collector was born. Initially accumulating Gaudy ironstone, because it was affordable in his younger years, Nick gradually focused exclusively on blue and white Staffordshire. Set on “acquiring every pattern, in every American series, by every maker,” as he puts it, Nick has come very close to accomplishing that goal. A number of pieces in the collection carry impressive publication histories, and the provenances read like a who’s who of ceramics collectors and dealers from years past. The collection contains a multitude of rarities and iconic pieces that will be divided between each auction. A massive Boston Statehouse foot bath jug, for instance, is one of the most eye-catching pieces, being a mate to the foot bath currently held in the ceramics collection at Winterthur (Acc. 1966.0561).

Other exceptional pieces include a platter displaying the scarce “Arms of Pennsylvania” pattern, and a platter from Andrew Stevenson’s Medallion Portrait series featuring a unique order of portraits combined with a central view of the Oatlands in Surrey and the Erie Canal scene “View of the Aqueduct Bridge at Little Falls” along the lower edge. In addition to transfer-printed ceramics, the collection also includes a fine grouping of rare spatterware and Gaudy wares, adding a bit more color to the predominantly blue and white transferware palette. Part One of the Routson Collection also features a fine selection of high-quality Americana, including period furniture, painted boxes, stoneware, folk art, hooked rugs, coverlets, and fine samplers. The latter grouping constitutes an excellent assemblage of needlework, mostly of American origin, with many examples retaining in-depth genealogical information on the maker and the maker’s family. Nick often relied on the advice of needlework authority, Amy Finkel, when acquiring a sampler, and several examples in the current sale are published in the Finkel’s “Samplings” catalogues. As he will readily admit, Nick’s decision to disperse his Americana collection was not an easy one. The offerings depicted in the following pages represent nothing less than four decades of diligent study and pursuit. Overall, however, the opportunity to present the entire collection at auction while specifically documenting each piece for posterity became more of an exciting proposition than a daunting inevitability. As Nick says, “Making the auction an event feels like a celebration of the collecting journey and affords me the opportunity to mark this transition to a new phase in my life in a joyful and meaningful way. While it has been bittersweet to let the collection go, I am excited by the fact that these treasures will now become a part of other people’s lives. My hope is that these pieces will enrich the lives of their new owners just as they have mine.” Part Two of the Routson Collection, which focuses exclusively on ceramics, will take place on November 20, 2021.

As described by M. Finkel & Daughter, the family record “sampler is a large and colorful demonstration of the young maker’s talents. Presented are many classic early Quaker patterns, reflecting the influence prevalent in this area where many Friends schools existed, as well as the culture in Mary Jane’s family. The open blossom border is a standout, creating an excellent framework for the many motifs.” $1,500 - $2,500

Catalogue Note: Mary Vought Throckmorton was born in 1822 to parents Joseph Throckmorton (1790-1853), a farmer, and Mary Ann Lloyd (1799-1859). The family lived in Freehold, Monmouth Co., NJ, where generations of Throckmortons resided as prominent citizens and were active in business and civic affairs in the county. Mary married James Warner Emmons (18331897) of Monmouth Co., and they had at least two sons. Mary died in 1916 and is buried in Ardena Baptist Cemetery in Ardena, NJ. M. Finkel & Daughter wrote “[t]he family history is well documented in Throckmorton Family History (Bloomington, Illinois, 1929) and began with John Throckmorton who arrived in America in 1631. The family consisted of John, his wife Rebecca and two young children, who sailed on the ship, Lyon, out of Bristol. John and the renowned Roger Williams became good friends while on the ship and the Throckmortons followed Williams to Salem, Massachusetts and then in 1636, when they became disenchanted with the Puritans, moved with Williams to Rhode Island. The Throckmortons helped to establish the first settlement at Providence Plantation. The family had many business interests and circa 1643, with a land grant from the Dutch, developed an establishment east of Manhattan. This was called Throckmorton’s Neck and the name later changed to Throgs Neck. The family then removed to New Jersey after the Monmouth Patent was signed in 1665, and John’s sons, John Jr. and Job, became important pioneers of this area.” $800 - $1,200

These samplers share the same format and motif elements including lawns with sheep and blue vases with flowers. Recent research completed by Dr. Tricia Wilson Nguyen identified the designer of this sampler group as Miss Betty “Betsy” Bradstreet (1738-1815) of Newburyport, who was known for her embroidery designs and possibly served as a teacher. $800 - $1,200

The Nick Routson Collection of Americana

After Mary’s father died, her mother remarried in 1835 to Henry Biteman (Bitman, Beitman) (1797-1853), and the family moved west to Allen Co., Ohio shortly after 1840. On September 27, 1844, Mary married Andrew Edmiston (1824-1851), and she remarried twice after his death to Aaron Parker (d. 1866) and to Peter Faze (1820-1891) of Lima, OH.

In A Maryland Sampling, Gloria Seaman Allen writes that “’S. Shriver’ is tentatively identified as Susanna Shriver (1780-1762), ninth child of Rebecca Ferree (1742-1812) and David Theobold Shriver (Schreiber) (1735-1826) of ‘Avondale’ farm on Little Pip Creek, near the town of Westminster in Frederick County (later Carroll County).” The two Shriver names on this sampler are possibly Susanna and her father David.

Sampler in very good overall condition with light toning, light fading and fugitive color to some thread, scattered losses of thread in floral border, top inner sawtooth border, and a few spots in outer sawtooth border, frame with minor wear; box with some wear and surface scratches, a few cracks to sides of base, cover is slightly warped and sits unevenly on base.

Allen also states “[t]here is no evidence that Mary Winrott and her immediate family ever lived in Maryland. Since Adams County was on the Pennsylvania-Maryland border, she may have boarded with relatives when she attended S. Shriver’s school in 1835. Her uncle, Alexander Creps, had married Rebecca Maus in Frederick County in 1832 and lived in the Westminster area before moving to Ohio. Mary Winrott’s sampler is the only one to name S. Shriver as her teacher. However, three other samplers, dating between 1832 and 1837, can be attributed to the same instructor on the basis of style and on the location of their makers in the Westminster area of Frederick County.” $500 - $800

Formerly known as Milltown and Downing’s Town, Downingtown was established by her fraternal great-great grandfather Thomas Dowing (1691-1772), an immigrant from Bradninch, Devonshire, England and member of the Society of Friends (Quakers). After her father died, her mother remarried to Benjamin Riter (1801-1884) of Chester Co., and became an early follower of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons). They moved to Nauvoo, Hancock Co., IL, which was a utopian town established by Mormon founder and lead-er Joseph Smith (1805-1844).

On November 19, 1823, she married Thomas Wilson Thorndike (1797-1888) by the Friends Society in Henniker, NH, and they had seven children. Ruth died April 17, 1873 and is buried at Pine Grove Cemetery in Weare. Ruth Dow Gage (1768-1861), who presented the carvedbone box, is a maternal aunt and the namesake of Mary Ann married Morgan Rees Lewis (1814-1894), a Quaker from Chester Co., on the sampler maker. December 25, 1845, they had nine children with $800 - $1,200 four not surviving early childhood. The family moved to Sonora, Hancock Co., IL, close to Nauvoo, some time between 1850 and 1860 and presumably converted to Mormonism.
