Comprising a pure white receptacle in fine china, and a pewter lid with a twisted ring finial, embellished with a 24K gilded rim, this handsome serving dish features elegantly exuberant low relief sculpts of orchid, which signify gentlemanly virtues. Based on an early 20th century porcelain example.
