English soup in Crown Devon fine earthenware

Downton abbey atmosphere with this typically english soup kitchen. Stamped crown devon fieldings, we can date it from before 1929 since it was on this date that the name fieldings was removed from the brand that became simply crown devon. Elementary my dear watson... A flagship of fine earthenware, it was england that, with john astbury, developed a paste in his workshop in stafforshire that had the advantage of becoming white from the first cooking. Josiah wedgwood perfected the dough and varnish. French manufacturers tried to imitate this english earthenware from the 19th century. It is made of fine earthenware and the monochrome décor in blue cameo is remarkably realistic. The floral patterns printed by transfer are precise, careful. The vegetable garnish is rich and one appreciates the attention to detail of the flower bouquet in a wicker cup. The fruitelet of its lid represents a pear. This detail gives him this hint of so british eccentricity... It is a rare model of exceptional quality. With a capacity of 2.5 litres, it will serve a good hot soup to a large table. She's in a remarkable state. No cracks or enamel jumps. The engobe inside the browned soup kitchen, but it is neither dirty nor stained. It's the enamel that darkened with the heat. Height: 25 cm.
