This is a beautiful pair of authentic antique Copeland Spode half moon crescent dishes, meticulously crafted in England from fine earthenware. Featuring a vibrant Chinoiserie pattern of exotic paradise birds and florals, these late 19th-century aesthetic period pieces make a striking addition to a cabinet display or a fine or a fine dining table setting. Reflecting their significant age, both dishes exhibit natural glaze crazing throughout, which lends them a wonderful historic patina. However, they remain completely structurally intact with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Each crescent dish measures approximately 8 inches in length by 4.5 inches in width.
