Pretty Tureen.

Any markings on the bottom?

What are the dimensions of it? Can't tell from the pic. However, that is an odd shape for a tureen. Could it be a sugar bowl? The Victorians put an astounding amount of sugar in their tea, and I have seen many cream/sugar sets from the 19th century where the sugar bowl was 5-6 times larger than the creamer. Your piece looks as if it has a rim for a lid to sit on? If so, it may be a sugar bowl missing its lid.

1. not really sure, maybe Valerian? 2. Garlic Chives or Gow Choy - yes you can eat them. They bloom in mid to late summer with white flat flowerheads. 3. Allium for sure, most probably A. christophii. 4. yep, Daylilies 5. Ornithogalum umbrellatum, Star of Bethlehem. It will start blooming white flowers as the foliage begins to die off. It's a horrible invasive weed and if you can get a positive ID from the flowers don't let them go to seed. My opinion is to dig out the infected soil and replace with topsoil (I'm doing that in my front yard.): 6. something in the prunus family, I imagine. 7. yep, tulip.

I'm not going to be much help on this other than to say you can at least post the engine Model number, Type number, and the Code number you find on the engine itself. The Code number will reveal the date the engine was built. Knowing when the engine was built might help some of the Scotts/Deere experts determine who the "baby daddy" is. In the manufacturing industry the time line is pretty narrow from engine build to tractor build.

It's "French Provincial" that was popular in the 60's and 70's...maybe even started in the late 50's. Only sat on by adults wearing their good clothes. Never used for TV viewing, no kids nor dogs, no eating in that room unless it was a cocktail party and you were wearing pearls and high heels. LOL! Very nice...and I think you got a great buy! Clean it up a little and keep the kids and dogs off of it and never drink red wine anywhere near it! Linda C

Just an example - this one is a porcelain English sugar bowl from 1820 - see the size, handles, and it also has "feet" as yours does.

Wonder if it isn't in the category of a "Gaudy Welsh" sugar bowl - though this is not as highly decorated as some GW examples are. Kind of going on the raised and gilded decoration. It was a relatively inexpensive, more often than not unmarked, line for household use.

Thank you for responding gemdandy, there are no markings on the bottom or any makers marks or date marks anywhere.

Thank you for responding jacqueline9CA, it measures 130mm (5.25 inches) high and 130mm wide. Yes it is missing a lid, it is most likely a sugar bowl but has a brown stain on the inside at the bottom which I thought may have come from hot sauce of some kind.

Thank you for responding duluthinbloomz4, I have looked at some of the examples of Welsh 18th century sugar bowls they are similar and I agree, far more decorative than my piece.
