HAVILAND  (THEO)  LIMOGES FRANCE-  BLUE CORNFLOWER (c.1895)   BOTTOM BASE DISH FOR COVERED BUTTER-  SCALLOPED-  EXCELLENT !!  RARE !!

Description

THE BASE DISH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION CONSIDERING ITS OVER 125 YEAR AGE  …..  APPEARS RARELY IF EVER USED !!  THERE ARE NO CRACKS, CHIPS  OR CRAZING.  THE EDGE OF THE RIM IS SLIGHTLY SCALLOPED WITH AN  EMBOSSED PATTERN ON THE PORCELAIN ALONG THE  EDGE.

THE PATTERN IS OF RANDOMLY SCATTERED BLUE CORNFLOWER SPRAYS ON  WHITE PORCELAIN.  THERE IS NO GOLD TRIM WITH THIS PATTERN. 

THE  UNDERPLATE MEASURES  7 3/4 INCHES FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE END, 7 INCHES ACROSS THE RIM AND STANDS  1 3/8″ INCHES IN HEIGHT TO THE RIM.  THE RIDGE OVER WHICH THE DOME WOULD SIT MEASURES 5 3/8″ ACROSS (FROM THE RIDGE’S OUTER SIDE).

WHAT AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO YOUR  THEODORE HAVILAND BLUE CORNFLOWER SET  ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A BUTTER DOME IN NEED OF A DISH.  AND AS ALWAYS, DO KEEP IN MIND THAT AS TIME GOES BY, LESS OF THIS FINE CHINA WILL BE AROUND.
