Can someone tell me what this is?

[MaryEC40]

I found a shallow bowl and cannot find any information on it or the company that made it. Could someone help me out please? The name of the company is KE&Co And there is what looks to be a dove on the bottom too. And it is holding a branch with it's feet.

Your bowl is Staffordshire I think

Gypsyheart is right... as always!

"K E & Co." is indeed Knight, Elkin and Co., of Fenton, North Staffordshire, England, c. 1826-46. "Pennsylvania" is the name of the pattern.

I asked my wife as she is the one who collects old dishes. She says "It looks like an English Willow pattern. Usually it is blue and called Blue Willow."

transfer staffordshire. (highly collectible)

though somewhat similar to transfer blue willow the blue willow always has a chinese scene with the willow, the birds, etc.
the story of blue willow is actually interesting.

Nice piece, Mary. How did you come across it? Very special if it came out of the ground in that condition............sorry-one-tracked mind.
