Offered for sale is this hard to find c.1820s Clews "Dr. Syntax" fruit bowl with stand. Both pieces have pierced borders. The bowl features 2 different scenes - the scene "Doctor Syntax and the Gypseys" is shown twice going all the way around the outside of the bowl. "Advertisement for a Wife" is on the inside. The tray is decorated with the "Doctor Syntax sells Grizzle" scene as indicated by the stamped mark on the bottom. If you were ever able to find this set again, I doubt it would be in as nice condition as this one. Please excuse the reflections in the pictures.

SIZE: The tray/stand is approximately 12 inches by 9.75 inches. The bowl measures about 11 inches across by 5.75 inches high.

CONDITION: The glaze on both pieces is shiny and bright with very few scratches. The bowl has one flea bite underneath the foot and shows some kiln shrinkage cracks around and under the foot. Ijust want to mention that the one under the foot is on the bottom only - you cannot see it on the inside of the bowl. There are two areas on the top of the foot with very shallow glaze rubbing. The tray has some very small rubs to the glaze around the edges and the bottom side has some scratches from use. Both pieces have stilt marks. Please see the close up pictures - you can click on them for a larger view. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions that aren\'t answered here.

MARKS: The bowl is impressed "CLEWS". Both pieces have a blue stamped mark with the scene name.
