Antique beautiful Haviland and Co bone white ceramic ironstone Soup Tureen Bowl and Lid Set with Nautical style twisted rope handles. This late 1800's bowl has an elegant simple modern Asian look to it, almost like roped bamboo stems. This casserole dish is refered to as a soup bowl. I have a pair but the other one has a little rim chip message me if you are interested in both of them and I can price the other one. It can hold soup, or a side dish. This is not a bright white, it is bone white (a slightly dulled white).

H & Co, over L dates late 1800's according to green mark

Haviland and Company, France (also has what looks to be an English mark embedded in the ceramic)

5 1/2" tall x 11" across x 7" deep

Amazingly no chips, nicks, damage, or cracks. This is from the home of **Ellen Kate's Closet.

Hand wash all fine china to preserve it. Actually a solid and not so delicate pattern and quite durable for this period.
