Featured Unknown tureen/sucrier

Good morning.
I have unearthed this little gem but am struggling to identify it. The pattern and design hint at minton but it has no stamp on it other than the numbers 8935 and a small 'soixante neuf' symbol. I read that minton marked all of their wears from the start. If anyone could help I would be much obliged.

Welcome, Jim. That's quite a production. How big is your 'little gem'?

It's easier when pix are full size.

 

Hi there. Thanks for reply. It's about 16cm tall.

 

Just a post to bump your tureen. Surely someone here can tell you more about it?

 

As no one here has been able to help you might want to try the folks on Facebook's "British Pottery and Porcelain Discussion Group" page. I have found them very helpful when I have plates with only four digit numbers in this style. They are very nice and knowledgeable. You will need to request access but it's an easy process. Like all Facebook discussion pages, please be sure to read and follow the rules as stated. Good luck.

 

Welcome to Antiquers, @JunkshopJim !

 

Thank you. I was tempted to bump it myself but thought it might be considered churlish, so I refrained.

 

Hi there.. I came across that group and requested membership. I never got accepted though. Never mind.

 

Thank you fig tree.

 

It can take a few days for them to respond. All the admins and moderators are volunteers and so they are not on Facebook all the time.

 

I usually demand instant gratification

 

Another bump.
And tagging @Ownedbybear , @charlie cheswick , @Ce BCA .

 

Can't help much aside saying it looks typical of c1850 style and the slightly clumsy moulding and gilding suggesting it's not a tier 1 maker.

On a secondary note there is plenty of unmarked Minton around especially dining ware.
