Beautiful antique blue and white transferware serving dish, featuring an elaborate bird-and-floral pattern in soft blue on creamy white earthenware.
This unusual piece has a shaped rectangular form with ornate molded ends and four small applied feet. Additional blue transfer decoration continues around the exterior sides.
Based on its form, construction and decoration, this is consistent with 19th-century English Staffordshire-style transferware, likely dating to approximately the mid-1800s. The piece is unmarked, so the maker and exact pattern are unknown; the attribution and dating are approximate.
Measurements: approximately 11” long × 8½” wide × 2½” high.
The dish displays beautifully and would be lovely incorporated into a collection of antique blue-and-white china, displayed on a plate stand, used as a centerpiece or styled on a sideboard, hutch or dining table.
The piece is in very good condition with some minor scattered age spots. Please consider the images as the best description.
This is an authentic vintage/antique piece sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pieces for over 12 years from people who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.
Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and traveling the countryside antiquing.
On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.
Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
