VERY RARE VINTAGE BOOTHS ENGLAND REAL OLD WILLOW UNRECORDED SHAPE BOWL + LID. I’VE NEVER SEEN THIS SHAPE ANYWHERE ELSE. I’VE HAD THIS FOR A WHILE AND TRIED TO RESEARCH IT , NO ONE’S EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. IT’S A BOWL WITH A LID. OR TURNED THE OTHER WAY UP IT’S A STAND FOR A BOWL. THERE’S GROOVES SO IT ALL SIT’S TOGETHER CORRECTLY EITHER ON TOP OR BOTTOM. THE UNDER OR OVER PLATE HAS A PROVISIONAL PATENT MARK ON IT. I CAN CONFIRM THE 2 ITEMS DID ORIGINALLY COME TOGETHER BECAUSE I’VE GOT A DAMAGED BOWL WITH THIS SAME PROV PAT MARK ON IT. SO , OPINION SEEMS TO BE IT’S A BOWL FOR SOMETHING HOT , LIKE SOUP , AND TH DISH WHICH CAN BE A COVER OR UNDERPLATE. THE BOWL MEASURES APPROX 4 3/4 ACROSS AT THE TOP. THE BOWL MEASURES APPROX 2 1/4 HIGH. WITH THE DISH AS A COVER IT ADDS AN INCH ON THE HEIGHT MAKING IT 3 1/4 HIGH. PUT IN PLACE AS AN UNDERPLATE IT MEASURES APPROX 2 3/4 HIGH. THE COVER , OR STAND MEASURES APPROX 5 1/2 ACROSS. SO THERE ARE THE CORRECT RIDGES ON THE PIECES FOR IT ALL TO FIT EITHER WAY. WHEN USED AS A COVER THE TOP NOW SHOWS BIRDS IN FLIGHT AROUND THE CENTRE AREA. THERE IS ONLY VERY MINOR WEAR TO THE GILDING. BOTH PIECES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO CRACKS , CHIPS , OR RESTORATIONS. PLEASE IGNORE ANY LIGHT REFLECTION PARTICULARLY ON THE RIM OF THE DISH. THERE IS GENERAL CRAZING. THERE IS MINOR WEAR TO THE GILDING. BACKSTAMPED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BOWL WITH THE EARLY CURVED MARK. IT’S A GREAT LOT THAT WILL ENHANCE ANY GOOD BOOTHS REAL OLD WILLOW COLLECTION.
