ANTIQUE PORCELAIN ROYALE PITCAIRNS LTD TUNSTALL ENGLAND LAUREL 12 BOWL / DISH

Description

I , NOT BEING AN ANTIQUE COLLECTOR, CANNOT SAY EXACTLY WHAT THIS DISH WAS USED FOR. ( I PICKED IT UP AT AN ESTATE SALE ) IT REMINDS ME OF A LARGE SUGAR BOWL WITH 2 HANDLES.  LOOKS LIKE IT MAY HAVE ONCE HAD A LID. APPROX MEASUREMENTS ARE : HEIGHT 4.5", OUTER EDGE OF SCALLOPED OPENING 4.25 X 3", HANDLE HEIGHTS ARE 3.5", OVERALL WIDTH MEASURED FROM OUTER EDGES OF EACH HANDLE 7". BASE 3.75 X 3".  IMPRINT ON BASE READS IN GREEN LETTERS   "PORCELAIN ROYALE  PITCAIRNS LIMITED   TUNSTALL ENGLAND   LAUREL 12 " FEATURES A SHIELD OF SOME KIND IN CENTER OF IMPRINT.  IMPRINT IS SLIGHTLY OFF CENTER ON THE BASE AND TO THE RIGHT OF IT IS WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN INVERTED NUMERAL 12 ?? THIS PIECE IS TRULY WHITE  ( SORRY MY CAMERA DOESN'T DEPICT THE TRUE WHITE IT IS ) WITH PALE GREEN FLORAL ACCENTS .  NO CHIPS OR CRACKS.  I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANOTHER ONE LIKE THIS IN LOOKING AT NUMEROUS SIGHTS...  ASSUMING THIS COULD INDICATE THIS MAY BE A RARE FIND.   VERY GRACEFUL LINES...
