Set is made up of an 80 oz. Tureen, it's lid, underplate, and ladle. The 150 year old set is in amazing condition, no chips or cracks! It is however crazed, as you'd expect, and has discolored areas as you can see in the pictures.
Tray measures about 15.5" long by 11" wide ,the tureen 15" handle to handle 9" wide.
A really stunning piece of dinnerware that would look terrific holding bisque on your holiday table.
Additional Information:
This pattern is the same as Tea House by Gildea & Walker, pattern #6837 and
Bates, Walker & Co., seen in this database; however, it has a printed mark with the name
"Chinese Pattern", initials L. S. & S. and the number "16210" with an impressed ASHWORTH
mark. An example is known with this "Chinese Pattern" mark and the maker "A Bros." inside the
circle. It also has the number 16210 below the wreath. In Williams WeberI 1978, p. 575, we see
the same Tea House pattern with "Chinese Pattern" name; however, it was made by Hope and
Carter "16210". She mentions that the pattern is also found marked L. S. & S. and imp.
Ashworth as seen here. An article in MCCN #206, pp. 19-20, dated December 2020 features an
article: "An Ashworth Pattern Book with a Difference Comes to Light". It concerns a seemingly
unrecorded Ashworth pattern book held in the reserve holdings of the Raven Mason Collection
at Keele University. The book, containing 35 pages of prints of copper plates was created in
1881 as a result of Ashworth's extensive purchase from the liquidation sale December 1880 of
The Hope & Carter Works. In June 1882, Ashworth advertised in the Pottery Gazette that Hope
& Carter's Carter's patterns and shapes available on Ashworth products. P. 20 in the article
illustrates fully the article from the Pottery Gazette with a list of all patterns and shapes. L. S. &
S. are possibly the initials of the retailer L. Straus & Sons, New York. The firm is listed on p.
667 in Kowalsky1999. Chinese Ching is an alternate name used in the Adams version.
It is absolutely gorgeous!
