These Buchan Thistleware covered bowls with handles are very hard to find! Here is a set of three 6" covered soup bowls with handles, which were manufactured in Portobello, Scotland in the 1940s through 1970s. Buchan is considered to be among the world's finest stoneware, with Thistleware being one of the most popular patterns. No two pieces are the same, as each piece is hand crafted and hand painted, featuring a thistle, heather and blue bells.
All three bowls and covers are in very nice condition, and are without chips, cracks, or repairs. I see almost no signs of age, and to me, they appear practically unused. One bowl is a slightly different shade of gray on the interior, but that just adds character, and is not noticeable from the outside. Overall, these are in great condition and would be a nice addition to your set.
These are being sold as found, with only a little cleanup. Please look over all pictures for examples of condition, and feel free to ask questions.
