This is a large octagonal shaped serving bowl in the Masons, England in the Manchu blue transferware pattern made in the 1940s. 

The ironstone blue and white serving bowl measures 4.25 inches high by 8.5 inches in diameter. 

The blue transferware octagonal serving bowl or fruit bowl very good ++ used vintage condition with no chips but there is some discoloration from oils and crazing and 1 old manufacturing hairline across a rib that is only faintly visible, under the glaze, on the outside of the bowl only, so was probably made during the manufacturing process. 

The Chinese peony tree design is so decorative! A very decorative pattern and perfect for use or display in so many rooms of the home.
