Description:
An impressive Mid 19th Century Antique Victorian Ironstone Vase and Cover decorated in the "Cleopatra" pattern, by Francis Morley & Co., of Shelton, Staffordshire, almost certainly produced from an earlier Mason's mould. According to Geoffrey Godden, { Godden's Guide to Ironstone, Stone and Granite Wares }, Francis Morley, who married the daughter of William Ridgway, acquired the Mason copper plates, moulds and seemingly the right to use the description and marks "Mason's Ironstone China", by private purchase, perhaps before the advertised April 1848 auction sale of the whole stock of Mason's "Fixtures, Utensils, Stock etc. belonging to the Estate of Mr. C.J. Mason". This most attractive and highly decorative piece has unfortunately suffered some damage, being cracked and having some minor chips to the inside of the cover. These defects do not however detract from it's imposing appearance. The underside clearly marked in underglaze blue with the pattern name "Cleopatra" and the upper case letter F, together with the pattern number 3 / 1504 in underglaze red in third series fractional form. Height : 15.00 inches : Width : 10.50 inches : Depth : 9.00 : Year : Circa 1850.
