This Blue and White serving bowl is English Staffordshire ironstone from the 19th century. It shows the typical blue and white Chinoiserie type of pattern rampantly popular in Europe at that time.<p>

"Chinoiserie" is the name of the European artistic style based on the influence of Chinese images from the European perspective of an imaginary China--what is must be like. It features pagodas, Geishas, walkways, trees, and ships on a scale and rendering based on those perceptions long-fuelled by the European search for the formula for making porcelain like that of the Chinese.<p>

Chinoiserie patterns inspired Josiah Spode to create his Blue Willow pattern in Pearlware in the 1840s. This ironstone piece was made in Staffordshire and shows pagodas, ships, flowers, trees, walkways, and birds in an entrancing pattern.<p>

A serving bowl, it has depth as well as an ample outer rim to contain the food. It measures 12 1/4 x 9 inches and is 2 1/4 inches high. Around the rim is a 3/4 inch "shelf" which protects food from spilling and aids in grip. It has a 7 1/4-inch base.<p>

For its age, it is in very good condition! Although there is a wear spot on the inside(by the beak of the bird), a top-edge chip,and a glaze line under the rim, it is sound and answers to a ping of the finger in full voice (no thuds). Being ironstone has served it well (as well as those whom it served!)!<p>

This piece is RARE! It will make a fabulous addition to an English ironware collection!
