Offered this week, is a magnificent Covered Casserole just in time forthe Holidays. The transferware is nicely done by master potter Thomas Mayer, circa 1820 to 1835. It is usuable and just plain beautiful if only displayed! MEASUREMENTS: 7-1/2" Tall from Base to Finial Tip. 10-1/2" handle to handle; inverted rim with ledge on which the lid sits. Nearly 3" deep. Would make a great mashed potato bowl for a large number of Thanksgiving guests. 9" width on the handleless side. Footed base with blue glaze pooling. This base measures 4-3/4" x 4-3/4". The finial or knop alone is 1-1/2" tall. CONDITION: The LID is perfect with no damage, no repairs. T are kiln dust specks underglaze and the finial, shaped like a breaking wave, is absolutely perfect! The base or bowl of this tureen is so lovely and appears perfect. The first picture shows a surface flake which is not seen looking down into the bowl. The transfers, colors and ground are nearly as new. A few misplaced tiny cobalt blue dye spots can be seen in the well. Upside down, another old surface flake is seen on the cream underside handle (not seen when in use...please email for close-up pictures). The glaze is wonderfully shiny without the usual rubbing wear, scratches or discoloring. Just a gorgeous piece in Medium to Darkest cobalt blue.
