Handsome small tureen in an elegant pedestal shape with lovely handles and a  pretty chinoiserie decoration,  planted with the Lenten Rose - Hellebore Çhristmas Carol' would make the ideal small gift for garden lovers. 
No makers mark unfortunately (was probably on lid) but looks to be early ironstone, circa mid-1800's, as shows chinoiserie scene which was popular at the time and quite ornate handles of that time. It's in a ‘shabby chic’  faded condition commensurate with age but no crazing, chips or cracks. 
We source our own antique & vintage planters and pair with the flowers we think will most suit the container to create a timeless living statement piece. They arrive  ready to display or to give as a present to lovers of flowers & gardens. There is the added pleasure of being able to re-use such a lovely bowl and planting out the perennial hellebore into the garden making sustainable gifting so easy. 
 
We offer gift wrapping with beautiful Cambridge Imprint paper, a festive bow and personalised gift card. Couriered with Royal Mail Tracked 24 with next day delivery. Carefully packed and shipped to arrive healthy. Full care notes included. If you have any issues on arrival, please contact me — I’m always happy to help.
