Furnival Ironstone Flow Blue Berry or Dessert Bowl

This is a lovely, 12-sided 1840s flow blue transferware berry or dessert bowl. I believe that it was probably produced by Thomas Furnival & Co. in the 1840s. The mark on the bottom "Real Ironstone" appeared on pieces made by the company during that period. The pattern looks to be very close to their pattern called "Rhone."

The bowl is 5 1/8" in diameter and about 7/8" deep. It is in fair condition. Unfortunately there is a chip on the back of the rim, but luckily it isn't visible at all from the front, so if the bowl was displayed in a plate rack or plate stand you wouldn't be able to see it.

A lovely piece!
