Unmarked Flow Blue Tureen

Posted by Alicia on January 5, 2021, 4:46 pm

Hi All, I have a soup tureen that isn't stamped and for the life of me I can't find the pattern anywhere. The lid appears to have an "FX" but no other stamping is found. The lid handle looks like an artichoke or acorn. Has a matching ladle. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi Alicia, I'm glad you also posted this on our message board! As you know, we are already working on trying to find a pattern name for you on our Facebook group, but someone may also see it here that hasn't seen it there! It looks like we are narrowing it down to Samuel Alcock as the potter, but hopefully someone will be able to confirm for sure. Judy

I think this is Sobraon by S. Alcock. It would help to see more of the pattern that begins on the left side of the tureen. I see a small figure on the left. To the left of it are 2 turrets nestled in tree foliage. The ladle has the strong projections off the upper part of the handle used in this pattern. The foliage looks like what Alcock used in Sobraon---some pointed, structured leaves & other wispy ones. You have a beautiful piece.

Hi Betty! Thanks so much for the great response. I'll go with that. So many awesome and beautiful patterns. Now I know I need better pictures that encompasses the pattern more fully. Thanks again!
