ID help? Posted by Kristin Backstrom on December 7, 2024, 8:08 am Here's another curiousity I found the other day. This may have been a covered bowl; it has the inside rim that suggests it was but no top came with it. It has 2 handles, and zero markings that I can see. The pattern is unusual (to me) - I think it looks like seaweed. It's about 9 inches across and 5 high. Despite missing one handle, a chunk from the top rim is gone, and no lid, I adore it!

The pattern is transfer printed which can be verified at the stepped rim edge where the pattern turns over the size edge but was not rubbed down onto the step corner. Also the pattern continues with gaps to the top flat rim surface. The two shades of blue are produced by the depth of the engraved lines. Deeper lines hold more color and result in darker colors. The body is probably ironstone.
