Mid 19th Century Antique Ironstone Transferware Relish Dish

This gorgeous piece of history was made in the 1850's-1860's in England by T. J. J. Mayer Staffordshire and the pattern is called "Florentine." 

Relish dishes were used to hold pickled vegetables for serving. They ranged in plain white ironstone to intricate and rare pieces like this one with the scrolled handle. 

This piece is unmarked and has a blemish someone tried to color.  I love pieces that show someone cared enough to try to save them. If you are looking for a decorative accent piece for bedroom or living room this would fit the bill!

Measures 9" long x 5.25" wide x 1.75" tall

Decorating your home with vintage 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 and build a home with decor that is as unique as you are!
