Description

Dishes

Three dishes. One is described as "oval dish, made in the following sizes: 5,6,7,8,9,10,11 inches". The others are described as "jam or marmalade dish, two shapes". One of these shapes looks like a Trivial Pursuit wedge, and the other is a triangle shape where two of the sides are curved. All dishes have no pattern as such, but have vertical repeating sections which give a jagged top edge.

An example has come to light of this registration on eBay, showing a circular stand/tray which has three of these triangular pieces slotted in to fill the circle. The stand was made by Walker and Hall in Sheffield. This particular one was stamped "Grand Oriental Hotel, Columbo"
