English Creamware Gourd Form Tureen with Ladle and Cover

   Creamware (cream-colored earthenware) tureen in the form of a melon, the domed cover molded with vine leaves and tendrils and surmounted by a small melon finial; a rope-twist vine stem forms the loop handle, which continues down the side of the bowl. The cover has a notch for the ladle. The tureen sits on what appears separate but is attached leaf-form stand with scalloped, serrated edges and molded veining. The matching ladle has a fluted bowl and a stem-form handle with a molded terminal. Impressed circular maker’s mark to the underside of the stand
