Skip to product information
Charming antique Victorian sugar bowl in mulberry transferware, Staffordshire, c.1840. This covered bowl is decorated in a rare deep mulberry, berry-purple transfer print, showing a lovely scene of children in a garden with a beehive, surrounded by lush foliage. The original lid is topped with a high domed finial and further decorated with a classical figure. Both sides feature bold lion mask handles, adding a dramatic neoclassical touch. Matching hand-painted letters appear on both bowl and lid, a typical detail for Staffordshire pottery of this period. The transfer-printed scenes on both the bowl and lid are closely based on the neoclassical designs of Adam Buck (1759-1833), one of Regency England's most influential illustrators. Mulberry transferware is far less common than traditional blue & white or red pieces and is highly sought after by collectors, especially in complete condition with original lids and figural handles.
