This large soup tureen has an exotic blue transfer-print pattern that features five people standing by the water with a castle in the background. Production of blue transfer-print decoration began in England ca. 1756, and it was meant to imitate the more expensive hand-painted Chinese porcelain wares. Popular patterns came in a variety of styles and often featured animals, floral designs, and maritime scenes. This piece was found at 40 Natoma Street.
