Very old, very shabby mulberry flow transferware china jar, mid-1800s
vintage English Staffordshire. This is the Pelew pattern Chinese scene in a
very dark almost black color.
The jar is probably a water jar from a very old tea set, or possibly a
biscuit jar? It's about 5 1/4" across the base x 5 3/4" tall. There's quite
a few chips and a couple of cracks, still it displays very nicely, and it's
holding well.
