This is a part of a selection of rarer 1950s British tablewares that I am listing. Postal discounts would of course apply for multiple purchases.
On offer here is this attractive lidded serving dish or tureen It was made by Crown Ducal - as you can see on the lovely back stamp on the base. The pattern name is also applied here - it is called Water Lily.
Crown Ducal issued this design in two different colours: one with a blue-grey banding on the rim and another variant with a dusty pink band. These probably date to the mid-1950s. They are now rarer survivors and not so many dinnerware pieces with this pattern seem to have survived. The rarity of these, the attractiveness of the design, and the fact that these are now over 60 years old and in generally good vintage condition are reflected in my asking price.
This is a pretty decorative lidded dish for serving cold foodstuffs onto the more formal dining table. It measures 9 1/4 inches in diameter and has a height of 4 1/2 inches.
It is in fine vintage condition with no chips or cracks. There are no disfiguring cutlery marks on the pattern or surface. Sadly, it has some light age-related crackling to the shiny clear glaze, as photographed in close-up. This looks more pronounced in the images than it does in real life. Please inspect my images.
LOCATION CODE: F
It is priced at £30 as it is a harder-to-find serving dish and in the more attractive pink colour. The price takes into consideration the bits of crackling to the glaze. I am going to have to send these with Parcelforce48.
Postage would be about £6..95 for this set (UK Royal Mail Recorded) - I could cap additional items for a capped price of £10 (Parcelforce48 Recorded) - excess postage paid would be quickly refunded to you.
