The pattern name is "Seville 2278" and it was produced from the early 1920s until 1949 (Myott's factory was destroyed in a fire in 1949). This particular piece is a round covered vegetable bowl with double handles and pedestal foot. It has an ivory background with fruit urns, a yellow band and blue scrolls. Some fruit in the urns is raised in a moriage style (done with enamel as opposed to clay) for added beauty. Uncovered bowl measures approx.  8 3/4" in diameter (not counting handles) x 3 1/8" high to top of outside edge. Covered it measures approx. 8 3/4" (without handles) x 5" (to top of handle on lid).  Marked on  bottom of bowl with a crown over the oval which holds the words "Royal Crown, Myott's". Below the oval are the words "Staffordshire, England" and "England" is also stamped near edge of base. There are 3 additional artists marks/signatures....one is three small blue dots set in a triangle. The other are the letters "IL", and the third looks like a "Z" or "S". Marked on inside of lid with an "X" in blue, "Z8" in orange and "?L" in gold. Both lid and bowl are in MINT condition with no utensil marks, high luster and no crazing or cracks. Lid has no nicks or chips but we see one tiny fleabite on edge of bowl that measures approxl 1/16" across and is barely visible to the naked eye. Enameled moriage is complete and in tact. Transferware pattern is also complete with good color and depth. NOTE:  The original marks from sitting on a rack in the kiln during manufacture show on both the lid and bowl These are not nicks or damage and are indicative of how these old pieces were made.
