Beautiful antique Victorian white ceramic cheese wedge dome with matching serving tray, dating approximately to the late 19th century, circa 1880–1900.
This unusual covered cheese dish was designed in the traditional wedge shape for serving and storing a wedge of cheese at the table. The tall fitted cover features a wonderfully sculptural branch-style loop handle with molded leaf detailing.
This works beautifully with English country, French farmhouse, cottage, ironstone and traditional kitchen collections. Wedge-shaped covered cheese dishes were fashionable Victorian tablewares, featuring the same combination of a shaped dome, matching base and naturalistic branch/leaf handle.
Measures: 8 3/4″ long x 6 3/4″ wide x 6″ tall
The piece is in excellent condition! Please consider the images as the best description.
This is an authentic antique piece sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pieces for over 12 years from people who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.
Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and traveling the countryside antiquing.
On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.
Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
