English Victorian Staffordshire Transferware Sugar Bowl Mid 19th Century

An octagonal sugar bowl with a matching lid that has a dreamy mulberry transfer design of an exotic temple or palace set in a lush garden.

The heavy low fired ceramic sugar bowl with lid has been coated in a thin crazed glaze with a mulberry transfer for decoration. The body has a design of a temple or manor house in an exotic garden with palm trees and willow. The transfer has a fuzzy dream-like quality. These main designs are framed by floral borders. The lid and finial have a matching colored transfer that matches the floral border on the body.

The piece has no maker’s mark or labels.
