These old Cornishware pieces always look great on display in your kitchen. The iconic blue and white striped pattern was introduced in 1924. The design was inspired by the blue skies and white-crested waves of Cornwall.
These lidded dishes are harder to find pieces of Cornishware tableware or serving dishes. They were initially retailed as a covered dish and each has an old Green Shield mark on the base, as photographed. This mark was used on Cornishware pieces from 1930's -1960's. So my dishes and domed lids are at least 65 years old now.
They are in remarkable condition given their age. They have no chips or cracks and is a lovely clean example. One of the dishes has a little flaw on the base on the rim section it sits on. This looks like a tiny chip but it was done in the making and was glazed over at the pottery. But given how rare these lidded bowls are, it is not a big issue.
There are a nice size and shape and from the side they looks a little like a flying saucers.
Dimensions: The height is about 4 1/4 inches. The diameter of the dish base is 9 1/4 inches and the diameter of the lid is 7 1/2 inches.
I am listing the two together.
