Newly added to the Powell & Bishop (P&B) part of my collection is this great vegetable dish. It was sold with the label, "missing lid - as seen", but I wonder if there ever was one? certainly, there appears to be no wear to the glaze around the rim, there is also no ledge for a typical lid to rest on, and with a lid it would be a very substantially sized piece of table ware - more of a tureen. My thought was that it was a vegetable serving dish but i'm not sure if there was such a thing, without a lid? Anyhoo, it's in a pattern called Trentham which leaves and butterflies and a little dragonfly under one handle. Below is a close up a handle - dotted with gilding and in a half heart shape. Gorgeous.
