Manufacturer: J. W. Pankhurst
This pretty vegetable dish dates to the 1860 decade. It was made in the J. W. Pankhurst pottery and measures 11 inches long by 6 /2 inches tall.
The Star Flower Shape is gently ribbed on both the lid and base. Floral decoration consists on tiny blooms connected as a chain along the edges of the vessel, top and bottom. The lid has the same chain along with a dramatic oversized fruit or gourd finial with foliates below. Scroll handles on each end have foliates under them.
The tureen is in fine shape. The only thing to mention is a small firing flaw on the interior near the edge, completely invisible when the lid is in place. It happened during the firing process and is not considered damage. We have included a picture. |
