old antique blackberry bramble white ironstone china tureen, oval serving dish w/ embossed fruit

Antique ironstone china covered bowl, an oval tureen or vegetable serving dish with berries and wheat pattern. It's about 10" long over the handles, marked J & G Meakin with Royal Arms mark, this version of the Meakin mark dating to the 1860s or 1870s.

This is in very nice condition without chips or cracks. There's a few small spots and discolored lines (only visible on the exterior) as shown in the photo with the makers marks, but overall, color is very good as well. It's hard to believe this has been kept so nicely for nearly 150 years!
