Beautiful Royal Worcester Ivory / Blush Butter Dish

Porcelain : Antique : Royal Worcester

 

Here is a gorgeous hand painted Royal Worcester covered butter / cheese / serving dish with red and pink daisies, and a lovely assortment of colorful flowers, all embellished with glowing gold against an ivory / blush matte background, with a gilded rim and bamboo finial.

Both pieces bear the Royal Worcester standard printed factory mark, with the letter “O” below the mark (circa 1889) and “2010” for the pattern number. Additionally, there is a “1X” on the inside of the lid, which was the mark of gilder Wallace Southall, who was employed by Royal Worcester during the late 19th century.

The dish is 3 ¾ inches tall; the bowl is 8 ¾ inches across and 1 ½ inches deep; the cover is approximately 6 ¾ inches in diameter.

Condition is very good, with some crazing and wear to the gold along the rim. Beneath the cover, there is some fading and indications of use in the center of the bowl.
