Joseph Clementson Staffordshire ironstone china bowl, 1850s or early 1860s. This bowl originally had a lid, we think, but displays nicely as it is. It measures 8" across the bowl, 10" across the rim, stands 4" tall.

We haven't been able to track down this transferware print pattern - lovers in a classical Greek or Italian scene - possibly Cupid and Psyche? It's beautifully detailed, a finer example of a Clementson piece.

The chinaware shows some discoloration (mostly underneath, on the bottom) and a number of large and small chips. There's some rubbing and finish wear (shows as the brown rub marks in the photos) from use, not unexpected on a piece of this sort, 150 years old.
