MASON’S IRONSTONE CANTON RED #447 IMARI- CHINOISERIE (c.1900+) COVERED SUGAR BOWL- RARE!! EXCELLENT!!

THE  SUGAR BOWL AND LID ARE IN EXCELLENT  CONDITION CONSIDERING THEIR MORE THAN 100 YEAR AGE  !!  THERE ARE NO CRACKS OR  CHIPS, BUT THERE IS OVERALL CRAZING  ….   COMMENSURATE WITH  AGE.   THE CRAZING DOESN’T DETRACT FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE PATTERN,  ONLY REALLY NOTICEABLE UP CLOSE ON THE WHITE BACKGROUND AND ON THE UNDER SIDE. 

THERE IS A VERY OLD REPAIR TO ONE OF THE HANDLES.  IT’S THE RIGHT HANDLE IN THE FIRST FEW PICTURES.  I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE AT FIRST.

THE COLOURFUL IMARI PATTERN OF CHINOISERIE SCENES AND DESIGNS  INCLUDES GENEROUS GILT ACCENTS AND OUTLINES. THE SCALLOPED EDGE HAS A LIGHT BURNT  ORANGE COLOUR TRIM.

THE SUGAR BOWL MEASURES 6 1/4 INCHES FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE END,  AND STANDS 4 1/2 INCHES IN HEIGHT TO THE TOP OF THE LID FINIAL. 

WHAT A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO YOUR  SUGAR BOWL COLLECTION OR TO YOUR    CANTON RED  SET.  AND AS ALWAYS, DO KEEP IN MIND THAT AS TIME GOES BY, FEWER OF THESE FINE PIECES WILL BE AROUND.
