This is a charming vintage ceramic spoon rest or butter server, beautifully designed in the shape of a traditional Asian clay roof tile. This unique piece features a striking, raised slip-trail cobalt blue floral design showcasing a stylized lotus or peony bloom with fluid scrolling vine work against a glossy white background.

Dating from circa the 1970s, more precisely 1974-1979 for this specific item, this gutter-shaped piece is a perfect mix of mid-century export kitchen style and practical functionality. It serves beautifully on a stove top to corral messy spoons or as an artistic tabletop butter dish.

• Condition: Good vintage used condition with authentic age-related character. There are no chips, cracks, or repairs. Please note there is light scattered amber/brown staining and speckling along the upper top rim edge and outer side walls from historical kitchen placement and use. The glossy glazed top surface has a wonderful, smooth texture with minor, characteristic factory glaze variations typical of pottery from this era. The underside edges show expected light shelf wear from age.
