Show and Tell Friday is hosted by Kelli at There is No Place Like Home
I will just squeeze in a bit of time to make a post today. My item is an off-white soup tureen and ladle which I got yesterday. I was walking back to the car with my mother when I glanced in at the thrift store. I saw the tureen and asked mother to wait while I ran in to see how much it cost. I looked at the label, which read $3.00. I checked and one handle had a barely noticeable chip. So I decided to get it.
Here it is all freshly clean on the kitchen counter:
It has a very nice ribbed design and a pretty knob on the lid.
The little nick is on this handle.
It has some crazing inside, but is all smooth. The matching ladle has a few small nicks.
It fits in well with my other off-white dishes and things.
Well, I must stop now, as company is coming within the hour and I have a few preparations still to do.
Thanks for stopping by, and do visit Kelli more Show and Tell posts.

Very pretty and it does go well with your other dishes. At $3, you can't go wrong. Good score! Sally
I've also been on the look out for a soup tureen. This one goes really well with your existing pieces and is such a great find!
Enjoy your day!!!
Wow, great find for a great price! Have fun at your party tonight.
Good find, I enjoyed your post.
What a great find!
Nice soup tureen! I like the white. Great price!! Are you going to make soup and use it, or just use it as a display? I love homemade soup, but don't care for canned soup!

For the price you got a great deal.
What a wonderful tureen, I can't pass up a beautiful dish even if I tried, and how could you have resist when the price is right.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Tam
Your tureen is beautiful, Carrie, and I can't believe you got it for $3! Great find!

Oh, Carrie!! My heart just went pitter patter when I read your comment about my Peters' dishes. I checked out the URL you gave me, and she is the ONE!! I figured she must have been from Colorado, as all of the pieces I have were found in Colorado. I have searched for several years to find out some info, but always came up short. A couple of years ago, I even crashed our computer one day looking for her. I had no idea the dishes were that old. I'm so excited - thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Sally P.S.: I guess I need to beef up my search skills.
Gorgeous tureen!
Oh, great, salmagundi, ...I'm glad it's the right Anna Peters. I just love a search challenge. Actually, as a collector, I have to have lots of patience in looking for information.
Glad to be of help.
your tureen is beautiful and what a great price! what a great find! my mother-in-law had a similar tureen and I loved it when she put it on the table because it meant we were going to have something really yummy! thanks for sharing :)

Your soup tureen is beautiful! I love that it's all white --- it goes with everything beautifully! I also have a white soup tureen, but I broke my ceramic white ladle. Sigh. I found a white, plastic one that works, but it's just not the same.
Hi Carrie. Oh, I love that big ole white soup tureen!! I have one, but am lacking the ladel.
Thanks for popping in to see me today!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

WOW! What a steal - I like the ribbed look!!! Thanks for sharing - so, when can I come over for soup? :)
Oh it's lovely. I love white wares. I especially like the rib pattern. Makes it look even more chic!
It's lovely and what a wonderful deal you got!

Hi Carrie,
Thanks for visiting. I hope your week has gone well for you so far.
Hi Carrie! Thanks for your sweet comments on my little tea party....
I love your blog and I can't believe that tureen was only $3!!!!! What a steal. And it blends beautifully with your other white pieces.
Come back and see me again. I will come and check out your blog later this week.

$3! What a steal! This is a great piece that will fit in with anything-and seriously, $3? Great find!
