An exceptional and highly decorative early 19th-century English blue and white transfer-printed pearlware tea bowl and matching saucer, dating to circa 1820, featuring the charming and historically interesting The Cock, The Hen, and The Fox pattern.
This desirable antique pearlware tea ware is decorated with a finely detailed blue transfer-printed scene depicting the Fox looking up towards the Cock and Hen, safely perched high in the branches of a tree, with a traditional country cottage providing the rural backdrop.
The subject is particularly interesting and is often associated with Aesop's Fables and Geoffrey Chaucer's celebrated medieval tale of Chanticleer and Partlet, from The Nun's Priest's Tale. The narrative scene, combining traditional folklore and rural imagery, makes this an especially appealing example of early English transferware.
Blue and white transfer-printed pearlware of this period remains highly sought after by collectors of Georgian ceramics, early English pottery, antique tea wares and historical transferware patterns.
