Manufacturer: Meakin Pottery
Offered is a very large white ironstone Staffordshire bowl or basin that once was paired with a large pitcher but is offered alone. It measures 15 inches wide by 4 1/2 inches tall. Condition is excellent - no chips, cracks, hairlines, stains, or restorations.
Designs of this period often had angular or square elements. This one has an angular element on the sides. They are straight from the rim until a definite cant takes the bowl directly to the base. It also has a prominent border on the rim. The sides have four distinct panels. Toward the bottom of each panel at the angle, embossed foliates decorate the side.
The basin or bowl bears the backstamp of the Meakin pottery and dates to the latter part of the nineteenth century, probably the 1880s. |
