This is Gorgeous! No chips or Hairlines. This is a large Soup Tureen with Lid. This is Thick Walled Bright White Ironstone. I believe the impressed mark reads Florence. Fancy finial on the lid and nicely embossed handles. A Smooth dome lid and rounded up handles really makes this a great Centerpiece. 13" long x 10" tall. Use photos as they show all. You could not ask for better quality from this piece that is over 100 years old, dating to the late 1800's. I have collect...ed Ironstone for over 20 years and have at least 70 pieces. While this is marked Parisian porcelain, it is THICK walled English Ironstone. The color is a bright white , not creamy. Please let me know if you have any questions.This is heavy. I do not charge more than actual shipping. If the calculator seems high let me know. Unpacked this weighs over 6 pounds. It will be double boxed for safety.
