A fabulous and very striking, large and ornate, antique, Victorian cheese dish with handle and air vents. Decorated with hand-painted, lilac, floral bouquets and gold trim to edging. The base is softly rounded on the length sides with fluted, scalloped edging and gold trim.
Amazing condition for its age - there are no chips, no cracks, no crazing. Just a little discolouration to the base, as shown, and some fading to the gold trim.
This is an authentic piece of history that has evidently been carefully preserved for the next generation.
