SALE Antique Ironstone Brown Transferware Butter Dish with Liner

Pottery : Antique : Ironstone, Transfer Decorated

 

Antique Ironstone transferware butter dish with liner! This beauty hails from 1870's! I believe it was made by the New York City Pottery company (1853-1888). Very nice molding, a rope brocade circles the rim and ornate scrolls decorate the sides. A brown transferware floral spray adorns the front, back, and lid! It is signed on the bottom.

The butter dish bottom measures 5 7/8 inches at it's widest, by 2 7/8 inches tall. The lid measures 5 1/2 inches in diameter. The liner measures 4 1/2 inches in diameter. The bottom is filled with ice, the liner sits on the ice.

This dish is in excellent condition! There is a firing crack on the rim of the lid, not terrible and shown in a photo. There is crazing and some browning on the inside of the lid and outside base of the bottom. NO chips, dings, flakes or flea bites.

Amazing piece not only is it a gorgeous antique, but it is useful too! This will bump up any butter dish, ironstone, or transferware collection!
