A very sweet antique F & Sons Burslem ‘Chatsworth’ pattern manufactured in the late 19th Century, pre 1908. This flow ware transferware small tureen with tray would have been for sauces and makes the perfect planter for winter pansies.

The tray measures 19.5cm x 17cm and the tureen is 16.5cm x 14cm. They are both in good antique condition with only one small nibble on the tray (Last picture) and thre is some age related crazing and discolouration on the surface as expected.  One part of the flow ware pattern on the tureen appears very flowy!

 

Burslem was famous in Staffordshire as the centre of the pottery world. Until the mid-1760s it was relatively cut off from the rest of England but by 1777 the Trent and Mersey Canal was nearing completion, and the roads had markedly improved. The town boomed on the back of fine pottery production and canals, and became known as The 'Mother Town' of the six towns that make up the city. In 1910, the town was federated into the county borough of Stoke-on-Trent, and the borough was granted city status. Today, Burslem contains Britain's last real working industrial district (i.e. where people live within walking distance of the factories of a single heavy industry, in this case, the potteries) and many of the nineteenth-century industrial heritage, buildings and character have survived intact.

 

Winter pansies are fabulous little winter flowering troopers both indoors and outside.
