Large Soup Tureen in Flying Bird Pattern England Circa 1840

About the Item

The Davenport Flying Bird pattern has been highly sought after since 1813 when it was first produced in England. This lively and colorful pattern features an elegant bird with a long tail flying above a garden with exquisite leaves and beautiful flowers. The colors are an unexpected and delightful combination of purple, pink, yellow, orange, turquoise, blue, and green. The tureen has eye-catching deep cobalt blue lion's head handles, which are decorated with lustrous gold. The underside of the tureen has blue-printed Davenport factory marks (see image), dating the tureen to circa 1840. Dimensions: 14" across the handles x 8.5" wide x 5" tall x 4.5" deep Condition: Excellent, lacking cover Price: $530 Background of Davenport Porcelain: Davenport Porcelain was an English earthenware and porcelain manufacturer based in Longport, Staffordshire. In 1785, John Davenport began as a potter working with Thomas Wolfe of Stoke, England. In 1794, John acquired a pottery at nearby Longport, England, and began producing earthenware. In 1801, he began making glass, and by 1805, he was producing porcelain and ironstone china. By September 1806, the quality of his porcelain wares was such that the Prince of Wales, later to become King George IV, ordered several dinner services. John retired in 1830, and his sons, William and Henry, carried on the firm.
