Antique Ridgways Willow Pattern Soup Tureen Covered Bowl Blue White Semi China
Made in Staffordshire, England 1891–1910
Approx. 8 ½" High to top of Lid x 12" Wide Handle to Handle x 8" Deep.
Beautiful, full-sized antique covered soup tureen crafted by the renowned English pottery manufacturer Ridgways at the Bedford Works in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
This piece features the iconic, highly collectible blue and white "Willow" transferware pattern.
Notably, this premium version features a fully decorated interior landscape, a hallmark of superior 19th-century craftsmanship.
Based on the distinct "Semi China" bow-and-arrow backstamp and the inclusion of "England" to comply with the 1890 McKinley Tariff Act, this tureen dates precisely to circa 1891–1910.
Good antique condition. The blue transferware pattern remains incredibly crisp and vibrant. The interior is clean with no heavy crazing or dark soup/tea staining typical of earthenware from this era. The lid has a hair line through crack very fragile. Normal wear from age.
