This Soup Tureen has all of the ole Patina and I have not cleaned it. Also there are a couple of small Dings and Scratches and some very slight Dents on the body of the soup tureen. I only noticed them. When I rubbed my fingers over the body. Also, on the Cow Finial Lid Handle, it may be that the very tip of the Cow’s tail is missing. Not sure about this, but thought it should be. Soup Tureen Measures approx. 9″ Tall including lid x 15″ Long x 8 Wide. Has Substantial Weight and Sits Square. I added a Silver Plate.
