Antique ceramic / porcelain serving plate or bowl - Oriental, with beautiful birds and foliage, enhanced by many rows of Victorian design

There is an opening on one of the "handles" to pour hot or boiling water to insulate the contents of the server - quite unique

 It's quite heavy and quite deep (nearly 3")

There are holes drilled on either side at the handles that appear to have been for a wire carrier

Approximate measurements (may vary slightly) - each:

     11  1/4" diameter at the "handles"

     9  3/4" diameter at the plate itself

     6  3/8" diameter base

     2  7/8" high

Please look closely at the pictures; they are part of the description.  We are describing what we see but you are the expert.  If described as VINTAGE or ANTIQUE, it should never be expected to look like new.  Color or image quality displayed on your device may not be exactly as the item appears in person, but we do not alter our pictures.

SHIPPING - Please Read:  Our items are typically shipped UPS with prices fixed by the carrier. We have added the USPS option in the case of shipping to a P.O. Box. Since the selling platform retains a percentage of our shipping fees, not all of what you pay actually comes to us. Shipping charges outside the U.S. are not set by us since we use ONLY the eBay Global Shipping Program for that. We are not able to invoice you or offer shipping discounts for international sales.

Please consider that you are easily able to browse our listings to purchase items that cost us time (hours at auctions and "clean-up" time) and money (travel, shipping supplies, etc.) to present to you.  Please contact us with any serious concerns before posting low feedback or star ratings.  We will do our best to respond promptly.
