This is a lovely vintage tureen designed by Susie Cooper (1902 - 1955).
The quirky Art Deco shape of the tureen is a Kestrel Shape - which was first introduced by Cooper in the 1930s - but continued in production up until the 1960s.
The pattern is called BRACKEN.
This appears to be a much rarer pattern - and features a bold mid century decoration of olive and mustard spikey woodland ferns leaves - with little rust coloured dots around the foliage.
You hardly ever see pieces with this design on them - so a great opportunity here to build up missing parts for your collection.
I have a number of other pieces on offer in my store: postal discounts would of course apply on request.
Dimensions: just under 8 inches. Overall height is 5 1/4 inches.
The stamp on the bottom is her more simple one used in the 1950s using just her name in italics.
The base has the Pattern Number 2290 - which I belive was introduced in the early 1950s.
In pretty good condition for a piece of tableware nearly 70 years old - no chips, cracks or nasty crazing of the glaze - which you often find on these pieces.
