Serving dish 12 inches long, 7 inches wide, 5 1/2 inches high. Has Hallmarks
Inherited from mother
This is an antique, late 19th to early 20th century, English bone china lidded serving dish from a dining set that was produced in England by Cauldon and exported to Pitkin & Brooks in Chicago. Pitkin & Brooks worked with glass and ceramic producers; they were established in 1872 and in business until 1920. Cauldon used this mark on their wares from 1893 - 1905. The pattern or mold form 'name' is H7664. This lidded tureen has a dark blue underglaze band with transferprinted gilded decoration. Although the gold is real, there is no longer a precious metal meltdown value as the cost to extract the gold would exceed the value of the amount extracted.The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
