Franscian Apple pattern soup tureen and ladle

Beautiful vintage Franciscan Apple soup tureen featuring the classic hand-decorated red apples, green leaves, brown branches, and warm cream-colored background that make this pattern so collectible.  Includes the coordinating Franciscan Apple ladle, making this a wonderful complete serving piece for a Franciscan Apple collection. The tureen is substantial and displays beautifully and would be perfect for serving soup, stew, or as a centerpiece.  Condition: Very good vintage condition overall. The tureen presents beautifully. The tureen has a small chip on the underside of the handle, which is not particularly noticeable when displayed or in use. Please review photos carefully, as they are part of the description.  A beautiful and increasingly difficult-to-find Franciscan Apple serving set, especially with the coordinating ladle included.
