VINTAGE JAPANESE BLUE NIPPON PHOENIX BIRD PORCELAIN DISH. This discontinued piece measures 4 3/4" tall x 7" wide. This absolutely beautiful piece is pre-owned but is in EXCELLENT CONDITION. A tiny hole was made underneath the lid handle for a reason. I thought this was a cheese cloche, but maybe the hole was intended to let out steam. I could not find one exactly like this listed anywhere, therefore a highly desired item.
