This Victorian 8 " long x 4 3/4 " wide x 4 1/2 " tall covered tureen is transfer printed in very dark brown.  

The pattern is very crisp and clear and features a fancy pin wheel flower border  and the piece is completely covered with oversized Daisy type flowers swirls of foliage.  

Nine magnificent cartouches are filled with geometric designs, Garden Birds and nodding flowers.  Wow! 

The pieces are marked on the underside with an impressed registration mark, the pattern name and trademark that identifies the maker as Ridgways, a pottery maker working in Stoke upon Trent in the Staffordshire region of England during the 19th century.

Never Used.  The pieces are in great condition, clean shiny and bright.  No chips, cracks, hairlines or repairs.
