FOR SALE IS A JOHNSON BROS (ENGLAND) PATENT DATED COVERED VEGETABLE TUREEN. MY CURSORY RESEARCH DID NOT TURN UP JOHNSON BROS MARKS WITH PATENT DATES, BUT THE GENERAL STYLE OF THE MARK SUGGESTS ISSUE PRIOR TO 1915.

OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT A "PAINTED LADY" PIECE WITH STUNNING COLORS. IT IS A MORE SUBTLE PIECE WITH CONSIDERABLE TACTILE DETAIL INSET INTO THE CHINA. THE COVER KNOB OR FINIAL HAS FLORAL OVERTONES AND THERE IS ACCOMPANYING DETAIL IN THE AREA BELOW THE KNOB, NOT ONLY TACTILE FLORAL DETAIL, BUT ACTUAL DETAIL IN THE LAYOUT AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE COVER. THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE RIM OF BOTH COVER AND BOWL HAS FINELY DETAILED FLORAL DETAIL.

THE BASE IS ESSCALLOPED WITH ADDITIONAL DETAIL AROUND THE ENTIRE PERIMETER. FINALLY THE HANDLES HAVE PLEASING FORM AND DETAIL.

I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW THIS DETAIL IN THE PHOTOS, AS WELL AS THE DESCRIPTION. BUT THE MOST INTERESTING THING IS THE FEEL OF THE PIECE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO QUANTIFY, BUT THERE IS A GENERAL OVERALL TACTILE DELIGHT IN HOLDING AND USING THE PIECE.

IT IS A FEELING OF DELICATENESS, COMBINED WITH A ROBUST STRENGTH. YOU ARE NOT SCARED TO HOLD IT AND USE IT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT FEELS THIN AND LIGHT. THE WEIGHT OF THE PIECE IS 39 OUNCES. THE INTERIOR OF THE BOWL IS 8 3/4" IN DIAMETER, 3" IN DEPTH (CENTER), AND HAS A MAX LIQUID VOLUME OF TEN CUPS. THE OUTSIDE (MAX) DIMENSION IS 10 1/2" ACROSS THE HANDLES AND 6 1/2" TO THE TOP OF THE KNOB. THERE ARE CONDITION ISSUES - THERE IS A SMALL CHIP ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE COVER RIM. THERE ARE FOUR SMALL BROWN "SPOTS" IN THE INTERIOR OF THE BOWL. THERE IS CRAZING AND A GENERAL BROWNING BELOW THE GLAZING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE COVER, RESULTING IN THE COVER HAVING A SOMEWHAT BONE COLOR, WHILE THE BOWL IS GENERALLY WHITE. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW DEEPER BROWNISH SPOTS ON THE INSIDE OF THE COVER. THERE IS NO TACTILE EFFECT OF THE CRAZING - THE FEEL IS STILL SMOOTH AND EVEN.

I DID TRY TO SHOW THE CONDITION ISSUES IN THE PHOTOS. AGAIN MY RESEARCH WAS CURSORY, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND A DIRECT COMPARISON. THIS PIECE HAS A LOT OF SEEMINGLY HAND APPLIED DETAIL AND THE SHAPE HAS DETAIL AND FORM - N0T A COOKIE CUTTER PIECE.
