Maker: Boyle  Pattern: Antique Scenery Series

Made by Zachariah Boyle of Hanley and Stoke active 1823 to 1850. The Antique Scenery Series consists mainly of views of castles and abbeys. This is stunning! A fabulous large lidded tureen complete with beautiful ladle and stand, with Kirkstall Abbey, Yorkshire, is on the stand and inside the tureen and Caister Castle Norfolk on the outside of the tureen. The tureen lid is so very ornate with embossed oak leaf and acorn detail surrounding the superbly detailed finial.
Backstamps: Antique Scenery Kirkstall Abbey Yorkshire & Antique Scenery Caister Castle Norfolk.
Underneath the stand to the foot there is a hairline and a small chip. The tureen has a few minor blemishes and minor signs of age, otherwise excellent condition. The ladle stem has a little crazing and minor wear with small blemish to the tip and a little minor wear underneath. Underneath the lid there is a little minor wear. Overall this is a really beautiful set.
