RARE Brown Staffordshire ORNITHOLOGY Soup Tureen & Platter ~ 1870

Code: 10396

AESTHETIC BROWN TRANSFERWARE SOUP TUREEN & MATCHING UNDER PLATTER

CANOVA PATTERN

Brown Westhead and Moore Potteries

Staffordshire England

c. 1870

This early Victorian 14 1/2 “ long x 10 3/4 “ wide x 8 “ tall soup tureen is transfer printed in brown.  The pattern features birds, of course.  Designed/attributed to Pierre Mallet, this delightful plate combines the new Aesthetic and Japanese influences of the 19th Century, with a freer more naturalistic design and the use of asymmetry, along with the English love of nature.

Never used and in great condition.  A repair to the rim of the under platter.
