Item 1976
 
Coming to you is this scarce Blue and White Spongeware Dish Used for Serving Nuts.
 
Dating to the end of the 19th century, this beauty features a Pumpkin Seed Shape, 1/2" Raised Top Border, Embossed Petals Front and Back, and a Pronounced Oval Footer.  Gorgeous sponging too!  Measures 8 1/2" long and 5 3/4" wide, and 1 1/4" tall.
 
Excellent Condition.  Some very fine glaze crazing of age.  That's it!  No chips, hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.
 
The nut dish is not a common form in spongeware.  I have seen three in ten years.
