Description:

Dangling Tulips is the nickname of a body style registered by Edward Pearson. A firm named Pearson, Farrall & Meakin operated a pottery in Shelton in 1854. The firm did not last very long for there is no record of a notice of dissolution for the partnership. Mr. Pearson and Mr Farrall evidently went their separate ways, both potting the same shape under their individual names. (The Meakin in this partnership was James Meakin, not one of the Tea Leaf Meakins.)

Dangling Tulips has embossing on each side of the upper handle terminals, and copper lustre banding outlining the flutiing, the rims and handles.

Registered in 1854.
