A vintage Hammersley dogwood tureen, made in England and founded in 1887. There is a crack in the knob of the lid. Please check image 10.

It has been discounted, making it a great bargain✩.*˚ A tureen is a deep dish with a lid for serving soups, stews, etc. at the table, and it originated in 17th century France✩ Just placing it on the table center with sweets or baked goods will brighten up your tea time✩.*˚ Because it has a lid, it looks neat and beautiful (even with unstylish snacks)✩.*˚ Of course, you can also put dishes in it, and it will be useful when guests come over✩.*˚ The plate under the tureen in image 1 is a dinner plate and will be listed separately later. Using the dinner plate as an underplate will create a gorgeous and splendid piece. I will list it at a slightly lower price than usual for a large item, so don't miss out✩.*˚ Hammersley is famous for its violets and is a wonderful item with many collectors. It is very gorgeous, and the pattern is also very lovely✩.*˚ This item was for my own use, but I have too many, so I am listing it.
