Comments

This bowl is part of a partial service of one slop bowl (1971.757.1), three coffee cups (1971.757.2-.4), a tea cup (1971.757.5), thirteen deep saucers (1971.757.6-.18), and four small plates (1971.757.19-.22).  The slop bowl was intended for tea and coffee dregs.  The service is decorated with black transfer-printed designs of "Stately Homes," being images of English country houses and ruins.  The bowl shows an image of part of a house, a stone bridge over water, a man fishing, and a gentleman and lady in the right front foreground.  The same image is printed on two sides of the bowl.  The rim has a thick and a thin gold band around the outside, and the bowl stands on a thick foot ring.
