Maker: Booths  Pattern: Dragon

A cheese dish of magnificent size and decoration. The handle to the cover has beautiful moulding and gilt decoration and there is gilt line decoration elsewhere.
The base has fine crazing to the glaze, but is not stained and the gilt to the rim is well-worn, with only small amount remaining. The cover is virtually as good as new, with just a little wear to the gilt on the rim on the corners.
This is an early example of Booths Dragon with a blue printed backstamp Booths over a crown with Silicon China and England beneath.
Today a rare and desirable item.
