Antique SPODE 1873 Imari Colored Huge Tureen "Vandyke" Pattern, Battered Beauty

Description

Pleased to offer what has been one of our favorite things in our household for the past 40 years.  It's a "battered beauty", but we've never cared because it's so gorgeous.  It is antique marked "NEW SPODE"; made in 1873 and the pattern is VANDYKE.   It has cracks, dings, paint loss on the rim, something odd on the bottom and a big chip as you can see in the photos, but it's also a huge piece of "eye candy".  It measures 6" by 13".  I had it displayed on top of a secretary filled with white silk calla lilies; it was lovely.  Enjoy this gorgeous piece!!!
