Printed in soft lavender-lilac on white Pearl Stone Ware ironstone, the well depicts a game bird scene — a pheasant tumbling mid-flight over a wooded landscape with a second bird taking wing in the distance. The wide border carries scrolling acanthus and peony cartouches in a lighter lavender wash. The Eagle pattern is among the rarest of Podmore Walker's transferware designs; the firm operated for just 25 years and was selected to exhibit at the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1855. No country of origin mark appears, consistent with pre-1891 British manufacture. Front face displays cleanly with no chips or cracks. An exceptional wall piece or centerpiece for a transferware or Staffordshire collection. See less
