Antique Mid-19th Century White Ironstone Gravy Tureen with Underplate & Ladle – English Sauce Tureen with Blue Hallmark

Description:
This rare antique white ironstone sauce tureen dates to the mid-19th century and comes complete with its original underplate and ladle. The petite, footed design is adorned with grape and leaf details, decorative handles, and a sculpted finial lid.
