Superb Brown Staffordshire Transfer Tureen ~ YESSO 1884

EXCELLENT AESTHETIC MOVEMENT ERA

BROWN TRANSFERWARE LARGE TUREEN

YESSO PATTERN

Crown Potteries

Longton, Staffordshire England

c. 1884

This large Victorian 12 1/2 inches long x 7 1/4 inches wide x 5 3/4 inches tall tureen is transfer printed in dark brown.

The pattern reminds me of peace, abundance and harmony. A delicious rim border surrounds a village cartouches and Japanesque Mons or family crests and all this is draped in Ivy vines, palm fronds and stalks of wild grains. A dancing Butterfly flits around the marvelous piece.

Never Used and in Great Condition. No chips, no cracks, no hairlines and no repairs.
