Antique LaBelle China Ironstone Serving Dish Worn Gold Paint Grandmillenial

Tons of character packed into one piece - between the embossed detail on the body of the tureen, the decorative handles, and the mostly worn gold paint leaving behind a sense of wonder, curious what the original piece looked like. A conversation starter, as my lovely Grandma would say! STYLE IT >> as a fruit bowl in the kitchen >> with a flower frog, to create a stunning arrangement for your table or entry way >> in a closet to organize your wallets & small accessories, or even your guest bath to offer hand towels! CONDITION NOTES >> There is a crack on the rim that appears to have been previously repaired or at least secured. It is hardly visible from the outside, or even the top down view (see photos) >> Original gold paint is almost entirely worn away. Suggested buyer will appreciate the variation in gold remaining on the piece >> only the base of the serving dish is present; no lid MAKER >> LaBelle China (Wheeling Pottery) >> Semi-porcelain, ironstone MEASUREMENTS >> Width: 8.25" round dish, 10.25" including handles >> Height: 2.75” Can't wait to see how you style it!
