Beautiful Buttery Pink Transferware Soupiere

A very pretty antique French ironstone soupiere bowl with a pink transferware floral pattern of country scenes, with buttery timeworn colouring.

With mark for St Denis on its base, this fantastic soup dates to the early part of the 20th Century and was sourced in France. With buttery coloured staining all over, this bowl oozes timeworn charm, especially coupled with the pink transferware pattern. The pattern itself is worthy of mention. Featuring countryside scenes across it, it shows animals including hared, pigs, sheep and ducks. There is something different to look at from every angle.

There is some minor damage to the handle of the lid, with a fine hairline through the middle. But this is stable. There is also lightly stained crazing all over, which is more notable inside the base. There are no chips. 

Perfect for use as a decorative antique around the home or for ongoing use.
