Former Villeroy & Boch soup dish

Superb old soup dish signed by the famous villeroy & boch (wallerfangen, so a date of manufacture between 1876 and 1909 following the stamp of "mercury with its winged helmet and its two caducees") to divert for another use such as for the aperitif or to present sweets. Very nice shape. Floral designs: iris flowers and foliage. Traces of use: slightly yellowed in places, small old crack that has darkened over time, ... But it remains the most beautiful effect.
