EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a tureen with lid and stand from around 1840, housed at the National Maritime Museum in London. The earthenware piece is adorned with a captivating 'Arctic Scenery' pattern, featuring scenes of an Eskimo family on each side. These scenes are based on engravings by William Westall after F.W. Beechey, depicting the 'Esquimeaux of the Inlet called the River Clyde' on the west coast of Baffins Bay.
The intricate blue transfer-printing adds depth and detail to this exquisite piece, showcasing a snapshot of life in the Arctic during the 19th century. The tureen's two-handled design and matching stand make it both functional and decorative, perfect for serving up soups or stews in style.
With its ornate decoration and historical significance, this tureen is not just a culinary tool but also a work of art that tells a story of exploration and discovery in remote polar regions. It serves as a reminder of the rich history behind everyday objects and invites us to appreciate both their beauty and cultural heritage.
