Vintage Green Transferware English Staffordshire Ironstone Nesting Hen Lidded Egg Basket Tureen Floral Toile Charlotte

$189.99

Brand Crown Devon

I've just acquired an absolutely charming set of vintage, English chicken egg storage containers, aka hen on nest.   This hen on nest is a rare transferware one.   It was made by England's Crown Devon and is a nice white ironstone  with a crisp green transfer in the Charlotte pattern:  a basket filled with freshly cut flowers.  These transferware hen on nests are some of the rarest of hen on nests because most are pressed glass or a glazed or painted earthenware / ironstone.  They look wonderful setting out on your counter, for storing eggs, trinkets or etc.  I use mine to hold our corn on cob holders.

 

 

Measures:  appx 9" across x 7" wide x 9" tall at tallest point

 

Condition:  small chip to inside rim of base.  This only shows if you take the lid off and isn’t too bad regardless.
