Status: Sold

This covered soup tureen is a distinguished example of Johnson Brothers' celebrated "Harvest Time" pattern, produced in England and marked as a genuine hand engraving with all decoration applied under the glaze using acid-resisting colors - a hallmark of durable, quality English transferware. The octagonal body is set on a stepped base and fitted with loop side handles, all decorated with the iconic polychrome fruit motif featuring apples, grapes, and foliage rendered in warm brown, rose, and green tones against a cream-white ground. The domed lid is crowned with a fruit-cluster finial that echoes the overall decorative scheme with refined consistency. The interior presents a clean, undecorated cream glaze, and the backstamp confirms manufacture by Johnson Bros., England, Pat. No. 464,002. A sought-after serving piece within the Harvest Time collector community. Size: 18 x 9 x 9". Piece has been rapaired.
