Victorian Pottery Cheese Dish

The cheese dish was a familiar part of most Victorian kitchens, used to protect the cheese from vermin and keep it moist. These would usually be kept in a larder or cool side of the kitchen.
 
This is a good example of a turn of the century cheese dish.
 
In good condition.
