Aynsley Banquet covered handled serving piece / soup tureen

Description

Aynsley Banquet pattern large covered serving piece. 11 1/4” across the handles. 9 1/2” wide across the body. 6 1/4” high. It has a big lid with a finial or knob. Great looking piece. A thick band of unworn colorful artwork runs around the body and around the lid. Very clean and fresh inside. No chips, nicks, scratches, crazing, or scuffs. No cracks, but there are two tiny 1/4” long thin hairlines on one spot on the inside rim the lid rests on. The lines don’t go to the outside and they don’t go into the vessel. Very thin, very brief, and only on that thin shelf. See photos.
