Antique Ironstone Double Compartment Serving Bowl with Original Lid

Some pieces are simply unforgettable the moment you see them. This antique 19th century ironstone serving bowl is one of those rare forms collectors spend years hoping to find. Made in the 1870's by Ott & Brewer, designed with two compartments and retaining its original fitted metal lid, it has both practicality and presence in equal measure. The hand-hammered lid has developed a beautiful aged patina and fits securely, adding to the character and charm of the piece.

The ironstone bowl shows honest age from more than a century of use, including interior staining, an old repair, and a chip, all consistent with its history. These remain discreet when the lid is in place and do not detract from its strong display appeal. Large, heavy, and beautifully practical, this beauty was created for both serving and presentation, bringing a sense of history and character to your table that modern pieces simply can't replicate. Whether displayed in your kitchen, dining room, or ironstone collection, this is a piece that brings immediate interest and conversation. Complimentary U.S. shipping included.

• Measures 10-1/2" Diameter x 6-1/2" High.
