• Details:  An amazing find, extremely RARE ironstone cream soup bowl set and absolutely beautiful!!  This is the Quail Blue pattern from Furnivals (they also made it in brown).  This shape bowl with the two handles is known as a cream soup bowl (also known as consommé/broth bowl), and it has the matching underplate.  As the name implies, it has quails on both the bowl and saucer along with oriental style flowers.  The border has a gentle scalloped shape with a pretty blue and white band design, and the saucer is deeper than typical, likely for catching any spills.  Both pieces have the round backstamp that reads: "Furnivals 1913 Quail, Made in England, Rd No 684771".  No doubt a wonderful find for a collector of Furnivals Pottery, or Transferware, or Ironstone or simply a Blue & White lover!  We have two in stock, both in wonderful condition, if you would like both sets, please Contact Us for a 15% discount.  (Cannot be combined with any other discount).

Furnivals was started in 1839 by Jacob and Thomas Furnival when they took over the building of Phoebe Johnson, at the Stafford Street Pottery Works, Staffordshire.  Through the years there have been many name changes, here are just a few: from 1842 to 1843 they were Jacob & Thomas Furnival, from 1844 to 1845 they were Thomas Furnival & Co, from 1876 to 1890 the name was changed to Thomas Furnival & Sons, from 1913 to 1968 they were Furnivals (1913) LTD.  Unfortunately, in 1967, Barratt's of Staffordshire acquired them and in 1968, they closed the factory.  In 1969 the company's trade name was bought by Enoch Wedgwood, (later they were taken over by the Wedgwood Group).  In time Enoch Wedgwood stopped making some of the Furnival patterns, and other patterns were used by different Wedgwood companies so it's a bit confusing dating their patterns after the 1969 acquisition.
