This is a late victorian lidded black transfer or transferware sauce dish or small soup tureen. The tureen is a black floral transfer design on semi porcelain and was made 1880-1900 in Staffordshire, England by the Mellor and Taylor company. The dish measures 5 inches high by 8 inches long by 5 inches wide. The sauce dish is in very good condition with a couple of flaws: no chipping but there is an intact incipient flaw; the lid has a firing crack on the underside of the handle and all over crazing although the body has no crazing. There are a few mineral impurities and ond dish handle has slight discoloring. Really a wonderful old piece of victoriana and very decorative. Shipping in the US by USPS priority insured with tracking is $12.85.
