This is truly an exquisite antique transferware covered large oval serving dish. The handle is painted to look like a twisted branch with a pair of leaves and raised "grapes" on one side and a raised leaf on the other side. The handles have raised leaves and a bunch of grapes with little "twists" like a grape vine. The decoration has flowers and swags of leaves, etc. An absolutely outstanding example of antique transferware. The inteior of the bowl is slightly discolored due to age and there is one miniscule nick at the rim--we have photographed, but very very small. No cracks that we can find. The mark on the bottom is hard to read, but looks like "capetani" with a "P" underneath--mayber an "M 78" and an impressed "H". Lovely hard to find piece of blue and white transferware. About 13 1/2" from handle to handle and about 6" to the top of the "twig" handle. 7 1/2" across. There are small scratches on the outside from use. Shipping is calculated using eBay's shipping calculator based on package weight and destination.  We calculate domestic shipments at first class priority rates and international first class for international shipments (as long as the size and weight doesn't exceed parameters set forth by the USPS).  We do double box all fragile items to protect them in shipment.  This does add somewhat to the package weight, but we do want you to receive your new treasure(s) in one piece--as opposed to several pieces.  We will ship however the winning bidder prefers, if possible.  Be sure to check out our eBay store for over 300 unique and beautiful antiques and collectibles (no new items) many of which are currently on sale.
