Maker: Unattributed Maker  Pattern: Village Church

Village Church is one of the most popular English rural scene designs and was made by several potters and marked pieces are rarely found. It is sometimes known as Rural Village.
This is a lovely set, with a medium sized soup tureen, complete with original stand and ladle.
Condition. Lid: glaze crazed and a long hairline running from the spoon cut-out. Our ceramic conservator has professionally stabilised this so the integrity of the lid is assured and the hairline will not worsen. Tureen: glaze is crazed with some associated staining, mainly inside. Some rubs to handles and rim through use. Ladle: superb. Stand: glaze is sound, some wear and rubbing to rim and a couple of the stilt marks have taken up a little staining. Overall: Assembled this ensemble looks absolutely fine and the presence of the ladle gives added stature.
No makers backstamp.
Measurements are for the tureen and include the handles.
