Antique Porcelain Butter Dish 1900s Pink Roses Gold Trim w/Lid and Drip Insert

This antique porcelain butter dish with lid from the early 1900s combines charm and function with a beautifully embossed scalloped design. Featuring delicate pink roses with green leaves transferred onto the glazed porcelain and accented by elegant gold trim, this piece is a wonderful example of early 20th-century artistry. The dish is approximately 5" wide and stands 3.5" tall including the lid handle. What makes this piece truly special is its functional drip drain insert, designed to allow ice to melt around the butter mold and drip into the bowl beneath the insert, keeping the butter dry and fresh. A practical and sophisticated design rarely seen today! While this dish is in overall good antique condition, it does show a few chips and the beginning of a crack in the lid, as noted in the photos. The crackled glaze, typical for its age, adds a unique antique character to this rare butter keeper. These imperfections reflect the piece’s age and history while not detracting from its usability or decorative appeal. A rare and functional collectible, this butter dish is perfect for vintage kitchen displays, entertaining, or adding an elegant touch to any table. Whether you’re a collector of antique porcelain or love showcasing unique dining pieces, this butter dish is a charming addition to your collection.
