Antique Lustreware Porcelain Cheese Dish, Franz Anton Mehlem, Germany, Backstamped for 1855-1920, Beautiful Condition, No Chips, 7.5" x 4.5"

The most beautiful cheese dish in a shade of lustreware porcelain that is probably best described as a creamy shimmering peach. With absolutely no chips this piece is in amazing condition for its years as it dates to between 1855-1920.

The Franz Anton Mehlem porcelain company was eventually sold to Villeroy and Boch who, to this day are make porcelain items of the very best quality.

Perfectly usable today for the storage and serving of cheese, butter or anything else that you wish.

A beautiful antique piece of German porcelain with an abundance of romantic charm decorated with transferware images of flowers almost in the style of Catherine Klein, popular German order artist from the same era.

The transferware pattern of romantic flowers appears on the top, the sides, the back and the front and is blended with a copperish spray bringing a subtle golden shimmer to the finish. It really is quite amazing how these pieces were made so well to endure the centuries.

The whole piece measures 7.5" wide x 4.5" high. The available space on the plate / serving area underneath the lid is 6" long x 4.75" wide.

There is some crazing to the under plate which is to be expected. This is shown in the photos. There are no chips or cracks and happily, the crazing that exists is not visible when the lid is in place or the plate is in use.

Weighs 940g therefore shipping is based on a parcel weighing 2kg to ensure adequate materials are used for safe transit.
