Early 19th century Coalport lidded tureen. Ornate gilded handle/finial and gold gilding to lid and base. Unusual hand painted swan emblem to one side and an owl to the other. Some time ago, I came across the meaning of the swan which looks like it is breathing fire but annoyingly I have not been able to find it since. Dates to first half of 19th century so no backstamp. Condition is very good for age. There is a small hole in the gilding of the handle but this has been caused during manufacture. The gilding is vibrant on the lid but there is loss to the rim of the base. A small firing flaw to the base which does not affect in any way. Not perfect but almost for an item of over 150 years! How good it would be to find this set. This item is in the category “Collectables\Kitchen & Home\Dinnerware & Serveware\Tureens”. The seller is “sterling1952″ and is located in this country: GB.
