This cheese keep, featuring a floral pattern and marked with "PB & S" and the pattern name "Autumn," is a notable piece from the English pottery manufacturer Powell & Bishop, who operated in Hanley, Staffordshire, between 1867 and 1878.
The "Autumn" pattern was first registered on March 17, 1874 and showcases seasonal floral elements characteristic of the era's aesthetic preferences.
Also known as a cheese dome or cheese dish, this item was designed to store and serve cheese, protecting it from pests and aiding in preservation. Such pieces were common in Victorian dining customs, reflecting the period's emphasis on both functionality and decorative appeal.
Powell & Bishop were active during a time when English pottery was highly regarded for its quality and design. In 1876, they registered the Caduceus as a trademark, a symbol often associated with commerce, which was also used by subsequent partnerships, including Bishop & Stonier.
Antique pieces from Powell & Bishop are sought after by collectors, especially those in good condition with clear maker's marks and identifiable patterns.
