English pearlware sugar bowl with cover, decorated with the "King's Rose" pattern in red, pink, yellow, purple, brown, and green. These pieces, made for the American market, were also known as "Gaudy Dutch". The base is impressed "W&B". The lid has a molded flower knob over molded swirls, both decorated with brown accents; over two groups of floral sprays alternating with two groups of trelliswork over a pink ground with a central reserve with a brown flower; encircled by a brown band of dots surrounded by two lines. The rim of the body has a brown edge, over the brown band with dots, over two groups of flower sprays alternating with two groups of trelliswork over a pink ground with a central reserve with a brown flower. The molded body has central reserves on both sides with the King's rose pattern surrounded by a brown band; the front and back have molded shell shapes accented in brown; and the molded, flat foot is plain. The "King's Rose" pattern had a large orange or red cabbage rose with green, yellow, and pink leaves surrounding it as accents formed the center of the design.
