Furnival Quail Tureen (Made in England)

The Furnivals "Quail" Tureen is a desirable piece of antique English transferware that originated from the famous Staffordshire pottery region. Produced by Furnivals (1913) Ltd., the pattern's registration number (Rd. No. 684771) dates its introduction to around 1921, though it's often associated with the company's 1913 establishment. Its primary appeal lies in its decorative transfer-printed design, which features a charming, detailed scene of quail birds amidst foliage and floral borders, available in classic blue and white or less common brown and white colorways. As a large, antique serving vessel, the tureen is a highly sought-after centerpiece for collectors of the pattern, particularly if it is a rarer square shape or comes complete with its original lid and underplate, contributing to its value in the collectors' market.
