A decorative vintage serving dish with five compartments (for hors d'oeuvres or as a fondue tray). The background is white/cream glazed with an elegant border of multicoloured floral bouquets interspersed with stylised green and gold patterns. This model is called 'Melrose'.

This specific mark, the R associated with 'Melrose', indicates that the piece dates from the 1930s to the 1950s. Condition: No damage. Typical micro-cracking with age. Almost invisible yellow wear on the edges of the compartments. Dimensions: 27.2 cm in diameter, 3 cm high.
