Arctic scenery pottery "Arctic Scenery" tureen base, 14 1/2" x 11", with rounded corners. Blue transfer decoration of wild flowers alternating with wild animals in panels on the rim and a central scene of Eskimos building an igloo watched by a armed European and two Eskimos with spears. Circa 1825-1840. Two hairline cracks on one edge, fine condition
See "Blue & White Printed Pottery 1780-1880" by Coysh & Henrywood, Vols I & II. The central scenes depicted are apparently taken from illustrations in Parry's & Franklin's published accounts, the edge decorations from Jardine's Naturalist Library series. Maker is unknown. Most pieces have the "Arctic Scenery" cartouche on underside of rim or on bottom. All are very scarce, circa 1825-1840. See illustration.
