A tureen and lid in 'Arctic Scenery' pattern. It is made of earthenware, transfer-printed in blue with a scene of Europeans carrying a canoe and pulling small loads on sledges across a frozen lake, with icebergs in the background. This is based on an engraving by Edward Finden after Lieut George Back entitled 'Expedition passing through Point Lake on the ice June 25 1811' from John Franklin's 'Journey to the shores of the Polar Sea in 1819-20-21-22' (London, 1824). There is a border of alternate panels of flowers, animals and birds. The lid is similarly decorated with flowers, cheetahs, humming birds, etc. A narrow frieze of animal transfers runs around the exterior of the base. There are two similar tureens in the museum's collections AAA4315 and AAA4317.
