This transfer-printed soup tureen is from a large set of china from the Wadsworth-Longfellow House in Portland.

The set may have been a wedding gift to Zilpah Wadsworth from Stephen Longfellow after they married in 1804.

Ceramic items like this were imported from England by local merchants, and then sold in the shops that lined city streets.
