Maker: Burgess and Leigh  Pattern: Unidentified Pattern

Made by Burgess & Leigh of Burslem, who registered both the shape of ewer and the floral design. The shape they called New Venetian and the floral pattern was produced in a number of different colour ways, each with its own pattern number. This is stunning ewer, with superb large floral decoration to the body and smaller flower border around the long elegant neck. Unusual shell like decoration in between the curves of the rim, and just to finish this lovely piece off an ornate scroll handle.
Impressed registration number 187088 for the shape and printed registration number for 188255 for the pattern, both for 1892. The 187088 is either incorrect or a misreading as that is for a textile design. 188255 was registered on 24 February 1892.

Dimensions: 4.8 ltr 28 cm high / 8 pint 11 ins high
