Livesey, Powell & Co began in Hanley, Staffordshire at the Old Hall Lane and went under this name from 1851 - 1866. They produced a wide range of earthenware, ironstone and china and were one of the earliest manufacturers of the ever popular Asiatic Pheasants pattern (still produced today). One of the founders, Livesay, retired in 1866 and the L. P. & Co was succeeded by Powell & Bishop. In 1878 they were joined by John Stonier, a glass and ceramics merchant in Liverpool and thus became Powell, Bishop & Stonier. Over one million unique items were exported into New York by P. B. & S. in 1851 alone! The company became Bishop and Stonier in 1891 and continued production until 1939.

Measures: 8 5/8" x 8 1/4" x just under 8" to top of handle
Condition: Wonderful for age...typical crazing graces this piece. Tiny flake on bottom edge which is barely noticeable unless you are looking for it!  Sorry, there is no base but if it were mine I'd put on a bid bread or cheese board with fruits and crackers to serve alongside the cheese.  Or just set it out as a beautiful decorative piece.
