Antique W.H. Grindley "Rose" Flow Blue Bone Dish

These dishes are called bone dishes.

They had a crescent shape so they could nestle along side a dinner plate in the late 19th and early 20the centuries. When eating, guests could place the bones from their chicken or fish onto the little dish.

It was basically a polite little wastebasket on the dinner table.

I pick up antique and vintage bone dishes anywhere I go. I love the crescent shape and all of the beautiful patterns.

While you could totally use these as a bone dish at your next dinner party, I love to use them on my dresser and nightstand as a catchall for jewelry, trinkets and more.

Decorating your home with vintage home goods means you are choosing to decorate with history and charm. It’s also the most sustainable way to decorate. You are keeping old items out of the landfill and saving resources and human labor used in the manufacturing of new home decor.

Each item in my boutique is hand picked by me. I take pride in building collections that are rich with color, history and charm. With Finches and Ferns, you can choose decor both intentionally and sustainably.
