"French Country" Floral 1940s Covered Dish

Beautiful glazed pottery, covered dish from the 1940s.

Lovely "French Country" colors and floral pattern. Robins egg blue and cream background with sprigs of colorful little flowers on this covered oval dish. The edges of the cover are outlined in raised beads that have been highlighted in gold. If you lift the lid and look inside you will see a tiny flower on the bottom (look at my pictures)...I just love little surprises like that don't you?

I believe this was intended as a serving dish but I think it would also make a beautiful catch-all for your vanity or desk.... a pretty place to hide all those odds and ends that tend to get scattered about. It's a nice manageable size 8 1/2" X 6" and just under 3" tall (including handle). On the bottom it reads Hand Decorated and Fine China and there is a coat of arms type mark but no name. It's in mint condition no cracks, chips or scratches.
