Antique Ironstone Purple Transferware Handleless Cup & Saucer John Wedgwood England
Product Description: This mid-19th century ironstone handleless cup and saucer by John Wedgwood showcases the artistry of early English transferware. This subtle 12-sided paneled cup and saucer in a purple transfer-printed Tyrol pattern depicts a beautiful scene of flowering botanicals, castles, and mountains with hand-applied polychrome details. The charming bluish undertones, typical of 19th-century English ironstone with authentic period aging feels like something rescued from a quiet cottage shelf where time moved gently.
