This indicates it was used in one of the King's Royal households; they would have been used for special events and would also have been given to staff as gifts for their servive,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade by Ashworth Bros, these pieces very rarely become available, and this example is in excellent condition. The plain white ironstone is still very crisp and clean, there is just some very light crazing in places. There is a tiny chip to the edge of the inside rim but otherwise there is no damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are stamps on both the lid and base, which indicate the two pieces were made in 1940 and 1941. This may have been deliberate, with them being paired together before delivery, or they may also have been muddled up when in use (as several would have been in use).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength, 20.5cm; Width, 12.8cm; Height, 12cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JFrancesAntiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55683922559352,"sku":null,"price":165.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/4633\/3753\/files\/english-antique-ashworth-bros-white-ironstone-king-george-gr-monogram-royal-household-tureen-serving-dish.gif?v=1790680882","url":"https:\/\/jfrancesantiques.co.uk\/products\/rare-antique-english-tureen-from-king-georges-household","provider":"JFrancesAntiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
