Pair of J. Holland "Carrara" Staffordshire Blue Transfer Bowls 1852
Offered for sale is this fine pair of blue Staffordshire transfer octagonal bowls from John Holland of Tunstall, Staffordshire, in the "Carrara" pattern. This rare pattern was produced for only two years, 1852 and 1853.
Each bowl measures 9 inches long by 6 3/4 inches wide by 2 inches tall, and weighs 1 lbs 4 oz (shipping weight 3 lbs for the pair).
Condition: The bowls are in excellent condition, save for one small chip on the reverse rim of one bowl, as shown. No cracks or repairs. Note: some of the rim medallions got a little mussed in the making (somebody had to lay down the wet transfer papers by hand to make these). Please see the detail photos below.
Shipping is by the methods listed in the shipping calculator.
