VINTAGE NORITAKE M NIPPON HAND PAINTED ROUEN PATTERN COVERED VEGETABLE BOWL WITH LOVELY HAND PAINTED MULTI-COLORED FLORAL, LIGHT SKY BLUE TRIM ON RIM OF LID AND GOLD ACCENT TRIM ON DISH AND LID - MEASURES 8-1/4" DIAMETER WITH INSIDE RIM DIAMETER OF 7-5/8" AND IS 10" WIDE FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE, DISH IS 2-1/2" DEEP AND STANDS 4-3/4" TALL WITH LID - ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! THE HAND PAINTED FLORAL DESIGN WITH LIGHT SKY BLUE RIM TRIM ON LID IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS FR...OM THE FAMOUS NIPPON/NORITAKE CRAFTSMEN! THE DISH AND LID ARE IN GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION WITH NO CHIPS OR CRACKS AND NO REPAIRS, HAND PAINTED ARTWORK IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH LOVELY VIBRANT COLORS, ONLY THE GOLD TRIM SHOWS SOME WEAR AS IS COMMON FOR THIS TYPE OF NORITAKE M NIPPON HAND PAINTED CHINA FROM THIS ERA, 1950'S - EARLY 1960'S, I TOOK CLOSE UP PHOTOS OF THE HANDLES TO SHOW WHERE THE GOLD HAS WORN OFF OR IS THIN IN PLACES, THIS COULD BE TOUCHED UP, I AM TOLD THAT REPLACEMENTS CHINA COMPANY WILL SOON OFFER GOLD TRIM RESTORATION FOR ANTIQUE CHINA IF THE SERVICE HAS NOT ALREADY BEGAN. HOWEVER, THE WEAR TO THE GOLD TRIM ON THIS DISH SIMPLY GIVES IT A MORE ANTIQUE LOOK THAT IS ACTUALLY CHARMING IN MY OPINION, PERHAPS I'M BIASED SINCE I SELL ANTIQUE CHINA, BUT I NEVER LET WEAR TO GOLD TRIM INFLUENCE MY PURCHASING ANTIQUE CHINA SINCE THESE ITEMS NEED TO BE PRESERVED FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS AND IF WE DONT RESCUE AND PRESERVE THEM THEY COULD BE LOST FOR ALL TIME WHICH WOULD BE A TERRIBLE SHAME! THIS DISH IS A GORGEOUS ANTIQUE THAT IS WELL WORTH BEING CARED FOR AND PRESERVED AND IS ALSO WELL WORTH THE EFFORT TO RESTORE THE GOLD TRIM WORK AT SOME POINT IF IT IS AN ISSUE FOR ANY FUTURE OWNER! - THE DISH AND LID ARE BOTH JUST AS STRUCTURALLY SOUND AS THE DAY THEY WERE MADE AND THIS COVERED DISH IS SUITABLE AND READY FOR TABLE SERVICE. IT IS ALSO BECOMING, I BELIEVE THE TERM IS SHABBY CHIC, OR IN VOGUE TO USE THIS TYPE OF ANTIQUE HAND PAINTED COVERED DISH AS A CATCH ALL ON AN ANTIQUE OR ANY DRESSER OR TABLE TO HOLD ASSORTED JEWELRY OR MAKEUP, IT IS EXTREMELY FEMININE, AND REFINED, AND WOULD BE LOVELY FOR THAT TYPE OF USE. I AM ALSO STARTING TO SEE THESE DISHES LEFT UNCOVERED AND USED AS A TABLE CENTERPIECE WITH FLOATING CANDLES AND OR SILK, OR REAL FLOWERS WHICH IS VERY ELEGANT AND LOVELY! IN OTHER WORDS YOU CAN GET CREATIVE AND FIND A MILLION USES FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE COVERED DISH! I WILL CONTINUE TO SEARCH FOR, RESCUE AND CLEAN, AS MANY PIECES OF THIS TYPE OF ANTIQUE CHINA AS I CAN FOR AS LONG AS I CAN, AND WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER THESE LOVELY ANTIQUES TO LIKE MINDED PEOPLE WHO APPRECIATE THEIR BEAUTY AND WORTH AS MUCH AS MYSELF! - PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE FANTASTIC VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE CHINA!
