Description
I have a large soup tureen...Old Britain Castles pattern in the blue color. It has the ususal crazing from aging and at one time there was a repair done on one of the handles, other than that it is in excellent condition...On the bottom of the tureen it says "OLD BRITAIN CASTLES" Made in England by Johnson Bros, All Decorations Under the Glaze, Permanent & Acid Resisting Color, A Genuine Hand Engraving. And there is a capital A in black under the lid. The castle on the top of the lid is "Berry Pomeroy Castle" 1792 and on the side of the tureen is "Raby Castle" 1792. I would like to know the approx date it was made and the value on today's market.Thank you for your help. Becky

Sorry to say, but these pieces are quite modern. Johnson Bros. still makes this line of patterns. I've included a link for the current retail for pieces from this pattern.

Re: Old Britain Castles Soup Tureen (blue)
The one you have has to be an from an older set. I bought one about a month ago and like you said it has feet and a different handle. The one I just bought is the one I always find online. I have never seen your version before. Maybe take it to an antique store and have it looked at. See what they can tell you.

This is from 1930's style. Discontinued 2003, the more recent where made in China. They sell for between 200-400 in excellent condition. With the badly done repair yours is worth maybe 100.00 on a good day. Sorry
