Maker: Robinson Kirkham  Pattern: Asiatic Pheasants

Robinson Kirkham & Co of Burslem active 1868 to 1872, preceeded the better known Hollinshead & Kirkham partnership renowned for the quality of their Asiatic Pheasants. Well their quality preceeded them. This ewer is a stunner. The engraving, printing and potting are all superb.
Yet toilet ware in Asiatic Pheasants is relatively rare and this is a special survivor, because it is almost perfect - like new. There is a possible small star hairline on one side, but it does not seem to go through, so may be confined to the glaze. The shine of the glaze, the clarity of the print and the integrity of the potting are all there; quite wonderful.
Typical blue printed cartouche backstamp with initials R K & Co and an impressed W.
