A very attractive large corona ware wash stand basin with a dusky rose pink and purple daisy floral transfer design with black geometric pattern, thought to be known as Argosy. This bowl can be used as a decorative piece, houseplant holder or large fruit bowl.
Thought to date back to c.1880/1890 this bowl is in very good vintage condition considering its age with one minor chip to the rim (approx 3mm, see last photo) and a hairline crack to the base. Please view photos closely.
A transferware piece, on the rear we have the maker's mark:
'Made by S.Hancock & Sons - Argosy' and
Made in England, Stoke On Trent. Corona Ware.
Size: 39cm diameter. 13cm tall.
