Lobed Creamware Tureen Body/Rim/Handle Sherd

Thin-bodied creamware tureen with bulbous wide molded panels/lobed body. Rim is slightly cordoned and flares outward. May have had a lid and is possibly rectangular/oval in shape. Handle may have been horizontal lug handle but is too fragmentary to determine. Pattern appears similar to a tureen with the Royal Pattern in the 1798 Whitehead Catalogue. Consists of four mended sherds.
