About the Item
This antique Mason’s Ironstone square bowl in the Nabob pattern is a rare and collectible piece that embodies the craftsmanship and cultural aesthetics of early 19th-century England. Its distinct square form alone makes it stand out—geometric yet softened by scalloped edges and intricate patterning. While most antique bowls are round, this square silhouette feels unexpected and architectural, elevating it from functional tableware to a sculptural decorative object.
What makes this piece especially valuable is the Nabob pattern itself: a vibrant, hand-colored Orientalist motif featuring stylized florals and exotic foliage in warm tones of ochre, cobalt, rust, and green. The transfer-printed design is further enriched with hand-painted enamel highlights, giving each bowl subtle, unique variations. If you haven’t seen it in person, picture a richly detailed, symmetrical garden scene unfurling across a crisp, creamy ironstone surface—with delicate crazing that only time can create. It has presence, charm, and a kind of poetic drama.
First introduced in the 1820s, the Nabob pattern reflects Britain’s fascination with the East during the Regency period. Mason’s, a Staffordshire pottery founded in 1813, was a pioneer of ironstone china—a strong, chip-resistant material prized for its ability to hold intricate transferware designs. These pieces were made not just for everyday use, but for making an impression—on the dining table, in the drawing room, or now, on the collector’s shelf.
