This is a magnificent example of a mid-Victorian butter dish.

Elaborately decorated, the piece is proudly offered to you in wonderful condition.

The intricately designed dish includes so many interesting elements. The repeating pierced leaf motif that surrounds the glass. The two cow heads that stand on either side holding hooped handles in their mouths. The handsome and majestic seated cow that sits as the large finial to the piece.

In addition to these special design features, the hand crafted opaline green glass dish brings this set to life. A gorgeous and genuinely antique colour that is translucent when held to the light, it really does transform this butter dish into something rather extraordinary.

A must have for any collector.
