Additional Description:
A richly decorated English transferware covered tureen by W.T. Copeland, featuring a striking dark green transfer pattern with dense foliate borders and an ornate central cartouche depicting a pastoral landscape scene. The domed lid is finished with a molded, scroll-form handle and continues the elaborate symmetrical decoration throughout. The decoration is crisp and highly detailed, showcasing the quality associated with Copeland production. The underside bears the mark “W.T. Copeland / Stoke Upon Trent / England,” confirming its Staffordshire origin.

Late 19th century, circa 1870–1890.
History:
