Description.
A fine, beautifully printed char dish of circa 1840. These dishes are real rarities, as they were made to contain potted char, a dish unique to the English Lake District, as the freshwater char is only found in that part of the world. It is thought that the fish, originally sea fish, managed to live in fresh water because they were trapped, at the end of the last ice age, by glacial debris blocking the sea inlets were inhabiting, thus creating the lakes in which they are now found. The fish is still to be found in the Lake District, but large scale commercial fishery is now more or less over.
Condition.
In fine condition, save for a firing crack to the base.
Dimensions.
16.5cm in diameter.
We use recycled packaging. It may not look pretty, but it helps our environmental footprint!
We do not offer combined postage.
If the postage policy specifies that postage is included, we will send by tracked postage, rather than tracked and signed. If you wish for the latter, please let us know. There will be an additional charge which we will notify to you.
When we send by tracked alone the item will be at your risk from the point that we can prove, by means of showing a delivery confirmation, that it was delivered to your premises. Until that point, the item will be at our risk.
We are prepared to deliver all over the world, except (for obvious reasons, given the Russian state's unprovoked acts of aggression in Ukraine) to Russia.
We aim to ensure that our descriptions are absolutely accurate. Nevertheless, antique porcelain is never perfect. We use high definition photography with the aim of making the condition of any item extremely clear. Defects which are obvious in the photography we use are deemed to have been declared, even if we do not specifically refer to them in the description. An example of such a defect would be crazing-but we do not regard fine crazing as being a defect. If crazing is a particular issue for you, please let us know and we will then report as to whether there is any.
Restoration is sometimes extremely difficult to detect. We use UV light and transmitted light to check whether restoration has occurred. Sometimes, even those methodologies do not reveal restoration. If you are able, notwithstanding the definition, to show that restoration of a significant nature has occurred, we would obviously allow cancellation of the sale in such circumstances.
