Devon Ware Cheese Dish

Description

This lovely vintage cheese dish was made by S. Fielding & Co. in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England between 1913 and 1917. It is unusual in the fact that the base is not a true rectangle but slightly wider at the back than the front thus the cover will only fit one way. The cover also has a scalloped base which fits to a matching shape on the base.

Pattern is deep ivory color with gold leaf-like accents. Gold handle
