The backstamp reads simply "England," a wording used on export ware between 1891 and roughly 1920, before "Made in England" became the standard — narrow enough to place this deep oval dish somewhere around the turn of the last century, over a hundred years of use behind it. It is also the largest and most functional serving piece in the whole collection, the kind that was made to survive a working kitchen rather than sit in a cabinet, and the tea-coloured staining worked into the glaze is exactly the evidence of that.
28 x 22 x 7,5 cm
We've done our best to photograph and describe each piece as accurately as possible, though with antique ceramics, a little craquelure and discolouring is part of the charm rather than a flaw to hide. Every piece is packed with the same care we'd want it to arrive with, and our shipping cost reflects that.
