Description:
English creamware circular hot-water dish with the top decorated with an openwork pattern, narrow rim and molded rim edge, which was used to keep the food warm after being placed on the table. This form is listed as "Oval Water Dish for Dishes of all Sizes" in both the Leeds (#98) and Don (#82) Pottery Pattern Books. The openwork pattern shows deviations, which appear to result from sagging during firing. The dish has two twisted, ribbed handles terminating in 'classic' Leeds flower and leaves terminals and a small V-shaped draining spout for water, both set on the sides of the deep, hollow water reservoir; and a narrow, low foot ring. The handles are not set equidistant on the body, nor is the spout at the mid-point between the two handles.
