A Staffordshire tureen by Bishop & Stonier, in their Gladys pattern.
Elegant shape, with an even more elegant lid.
The back is marked with the caduceus emblem, and the words:
GLADYS
IMPERIAL SEMI PORCELAIN
TRADE MARK
BISHOP & STONIER
ENGLAND
Condition:
Very good condition, with no major damage.
Some crazing, as you would expect.
No chips or cracks, except for a tiny nibble on the underside of the rim of the lid (see close-up photograph).
Some surface marks from normal use.
The edges of the handles are a little rough, presumably from scuffing.
Please see the photographs.
