Presented for your consideration is this assortment of antique William Adams & Co china consisting of two (2) Bowls plus a large Covered Vegetable Dish. The pieces have a Blue transferware pattern named IONA which is a pretty Floral and Leaf design with abstract elements. We were unable to determine their exact age, but the backstamp appears to date from the late 1800's to early 1900's.
The Vegetable Dish is 5-1/2 inches high (to the top of the handle on the Lid), 11-1/2 inches wide, and 7-1/2 inches deep. The underside has an impressed W with a backstamp under the glaze that reads:
IONA
Wm. ADAMS & Co
TUNSTALL
ENGLAND
The Vegetable Dish shows light crazing and has areas on the handle and edge of the lid where the glaze has worn through. There are some light utensil marks in the interior. The Lid has a few slight flakes at the edge, but there are no cracks or repairs. We rate

The Vegetable Dish shows light crazing and has areas on the handle and edge of the lid where the glaze has worn through. There are some light utensil marks in the interior. The Lid has a few slight flakes at the edge, but there are no cracks or repairs. We rate the overall condition as good to very good (see pictures above).
The Bowls are 1-1/2 inches high and 9 inches in diameter. They have the same backstamp as the Vegetable Dish, but without any impressed letter. They have a few areas under the rim where the glaze has worn through. Many utensil marks are seen, but there are no chips, cracks, or repairs, and their overall condition is very good.
