Antique 1883 MINTON COVERED LARGE SERVING TUREEN Hand Painted Butterflies & Flowers

Genuine Victorian art piece which is an outstanding example of the Victorian Aesthetic Movement

Completely hand painted with lavish butterflies, flowers, and bulbs all over lid and body. Minute details, jewel box colors, fabulous shading.  

Scroll Handled & Footed

Approx. 13.5" long x 4.75" high with lid. 8" wide. Raised footed base 7.5" x 4.75"

Charming and unusual shape is rectangular but with rounded edges and corners, and Oriental-style scalloped protrusions.

This piece would be considered as a classic Serving Tureen for vegetables, soups, or any other special dishes. It displays fantastically well and looks incredible from all sides- would make a stunning centerpiece etc.   

This is a VERY RARE piece and in beautiful condition. Amazingly collectible

Has all genuine Minton impressed marks on underside which dates this piece to October 1883. The circle with a swirled Y inside dates to the year 1883 only, and the mark BB is for October.  

Excellent condition, no chips/nicks/cracks /scratches/ fading or damage to entire piece EXCEPT for light crazing to glaze normal for age which has not darkened or 'foxed'- very minor. Also has light wear to gold embellishments on handles, normal for age and use, minor.  

This is a gorgeous piece, the colors, artwork, plus the shape and design are absolutely charming.

Magnificent for a collector.
