This is a rather unusual Staffordshire bowl which we found in England recently. The transferware pattern is a composition of fans, flower vines, and geometric medallions - aesthetic in nature. It is unusual to find such a transferware design with imari type hand painted accents in cobalt blue, salmon, pink, and orange-red, with a tiny bit of overglaze gold. The dramatically fluted shape is most unusual and attractive. It measures 8" wide by just shy of 2" tall. Though unmarked except for its artist's number, it looks like the work of either Mason, Ashworth, or Charles Meigh. Condition is excellent. It has no flaws.
