These elongated lidded dishes, complete with divided interiors, were part of dressing or hygiene sets — used to hold toothbrushes, razors, combs, or small grooming tools atop a washstand or dressing table. Measures approximately 9" long, 4" deep and 1.75" tall. Good antique condition commensurate with age — crazing, light interior staining, glaze toning, and minor discoloration along edges. No cracks or chips noted, and the transfer remains well-defined. Structurally sound and displays beautifully. Perfect for transferware collectors, bathroom or vanity styling, cottage interiors, English country décor, or as a rare addition to a washstand ensemble. See less
