1835 Spode Aesop's Fables Large Fruit Bowl Comport. Center: Lion and Fox. Rim: Leopard and Fox. Staffordshire Green Transferware. Staffordshire, England: Copeland and Garrett: New Blanche Potteries. 11" wide. 5½" tall. $140 from Aesthetic Transferware, Montague, MA, April, '22.
I agree with the seller that this large bowl is crisply transfer printed in the best green color. It features oversized flowers with hidden fox heads. The center has the fox wary of the supposedly sick lion. The outside has a repeated scene of the leopard bragging about his beautiful skin and the fox answering in terms of the beauty of his mind. As the seller noted, a large piece had been reapplied with glue and staples, one of only a few that probably still survive. "We rarely add a damaged piece to our shop unless it’s worthy of merit." I agree with that too!
