AESTHETIC BROWN TRANSFER WARE SQUARE DISH
For consideration is this antique, square shaped bowl / dish by G L Ashworth & Brothers of Hanley, North Staffordshire England in the delicate Empress pattern. This gorgeous Aesthetic Movement pair dates to the later part of the 1800's. The transfer is of flowing scrolls intertwined with leaves and stylized flowers. The same pattern is shown as a small medallion on the center face of the dish. Ashworth later became part of the Masons group of potters.(1968)
These are perfect for saucers, candies, as a trinket dish, etc.
Measures: 4.5" x 1"
Condition: Crazing, commensurate with age, is present. Overall condition is very nice. I do have several of these and please note that one or two have small flaws done during manufacture, little glaze pops or very small brownish spots. Nothing significant. This is common of antique pieces and none of these are distracting but in case you get one with something like this, you'll know why!
