Antique Regency Ironstone Covered Vegetable Tureen Stand Lion Finial Imari c1820

An English ironstone covered vegetable dish and stand, c.1815–1830, of rectangular form with canted corners, the domed cover surmounted by a lion finial, painted in the Imari palette with bold green foliage, cobalt blue and orange flowers and gilt highlights. Stand approximately 21 x 24cm; height overall approximately 16cm.

Unmarked. The heavy stone-china body and this style of Imari-derived decoration were produced by several Staffordshire factories in the Regency period; it is not a Mason's piece and I have not attributed it to a specific maker. Covered serving pieces of this date survive in far smaller numbers than plates and are increasingly hard to find.

Condition: Please see images for condition — the photographs form part of the description and show every angle, the base and any faults. Gilt wear commensurate with age; base and interior photographed.
