The shape range 'Kestrel' was first introduced at the British Industries Fair in 1932, and this innovative vegetable tureen patented in 1933. The domed lid is designed to be used as a second serving dish, when needed, and also to fit exactly into the body when inverted, for storage. A smaller version came with a ceramic ladle and plate stand. The subtle 'Crayon Line' pattern, no 912, was cheap and quick to produce and was used from c.1934 until after World War II.
