A 19thC ironstone china child's covered nursery dish with animals from around 1860. This very unusual antique handled dish has scenes of girls playing with dogs, playing a flute and riding horses. It measures 7-1/4" across the handles and it stands 3-3/4" tall and it must have been part of a nice quality child's nursery set. This covered tureen has white ironstone lid order with applied high relief figures in the soft blue colour of Chelsea Sprig ironstone from this era. I would imagine it was used for hot cereal or porridge. It has a Greek key embossed border on the lid, an acanthus style border on the base and lines and scrolls on the foot. It is unmarked and it is in remarkably excellent condition, with no chips, cracks, crazing, staining, repairs or damage. There is a burst glaze bubble on the underside of the lid, which isn't visible when displayed, and this is original to the manufacture of the piece, and is not technically considered to be damage, but we like to mention all details (see picture). A great and unusual addition to any collection of antique children's dishes, and a very attractive piece.
