Description
This is a truly stunning and very festive themed Staffordshire majolica cheese keeper/dome, stilton dish by Thomas Forester & Sons Ltd.
Moulded leaves, flowers, pink bows and rope arcades adorn the sides of the dish, on top of a rich deep blue/cobalt glaze.
The interior of the dome lining is glazed in a warm pink.
Undoubtedly, the cheese keeper would be a spectacular centrepiece and graceful addition to any Christmas table or dinner party.
