Antique Chinese Porcelain Covered Dish, Handpainted, Floral Strawberry, UW 1897

Description

Stunning Antique Piece
Hand-Painted Chinese Porcelain Covered Dish
Marked UW 1897
Vibrant Colors with Light Gilding
This gorgeous piece of Chinese porcelain was handmade and hand-painted. The design is very classic and features morning glories, ivy and golden scrolling. The "cherry on the top", so to speak, in the this case is a plump molded strawberry with gilded highlights. It is medium sized and very heavy. It would be beautiful on display in your home. It has a light crackle in the matte glazed finish. Not knowing if the paint used contains lead (the oldest of these pieces does), I would not recommend using it to hold food.  It is priced far less than similar listings.
Dimensions are: 8 3/4" long x 3 3/4" across x 4 3/4" tall
EXCELLENT - Vintage Condition.
