Antique Victorian Cheese Keeper Covered Dish Scrolls & Pink Roses

Product Description: A charming covered cheese dish from the Victorian era. In rectangular form, decorated with pink roses, white daisies and a creamy-peach trim and fancy scrolling. A decorative single handle on the top of lid with a small vent hole in the cover allows for ventilation. The plate is a generous size measuring just under 10 inches long by 7 ½ inches wide that once held a hefty block cheese. Even being over 120 years old, showing signs of age with crazing, some color wear and chips, it still holds its beauty very well.
