A truly delightful covered butter or small cheese dish, made by Portland Pottery, Cobridge in England. The domed lid is charmingly decorated on all four sides, with a fox hunter on his horse taking a fence, foxhound leading the way. The back side shows a fox head and brush--his tail as it is called-set atop a long lashed hunting whip. The handle to the lid is a black hunting cap, a lovely touch. All the decoration on this sweet piece is raised from the surface, giving it a wonderful textural look and feel. The butter plate measures 6.25" by 5.25", the with the lid on, the piece stands a bit over 4" tall to the top of the hunt cap. The hunt scene pottery was made by Portland during the 1940's to the 1950's, and this is quite a scarce piece to find in this design. No chips, cracks, crazing or repairs that I can find, it's an unusual piece in excellent condition, a fabulous touch to your equestrian table.
