Rare C.1815 Mason's Ironstone Lidded Sauce Tureen

Description

A remarkable circa 1815 antique English Mason's ironstone lidded sauce tureen that is hand painted with a fence and peonies, and it is accented with gold gilt.The base has an impressed mark, and the lid has a printed mark. The base is approximately 7 and 5/8" wide, 2.75" high, and 4.5" deep. The lid is 7" by 4.5" by approximately 3" high. This is marvelous example of early Mason's ironstone, and, with restoration, it will be truly amazing.
Condition: There are 2 chips on the edge of the lid, one 1" by 5/16" and one .25" by .25" (approximate measures, give or take a tiny bit), and there are flakes on the inner edge of the lid as well. There is a bit of light rubbing on the top finial where white is showing through, and there are signs of slight gold gilt rubbing on the body of the tureen. There are also two hard to see hairline cracks on the lid. This great tureen is in otherwise good antique condition.
Thanks for looking!
