Lot Essay

John Turner was one of the first manufacturers to produce a stone china-type body close to that of the later Mason's Ironstone. His pieces normally bear the TURNER'S PATENT mark in iron-red. Frequently painted with bold chinoiserie patterns, Turner's wares are similar to the Mason's series of 'Japan' patterns. Illustrated here is the 'Waterlily' pattern that Mason was to use prolifically in the 1820's. Turner could not survive financial struggles and went bankrupt, in 1807 Josiah Spode purchased the rights to the 'Patent' body which he was later to rework into his own 'Stone China'.
