Offered as Perfectly Imperfect, with two nearby hairlines and small areas of paint\/glaze loss at the rim, it is priced to reflect these faults.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beswick (John Beswick Ltd), Stoke-on-Trent, England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curved cabbage leaf serving dish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e c. 1950s–1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19 cm long; 10 cm wide; 3 cm high (scalloped edge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 177 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glazed earthenware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round raised moulded hallmark with tree silhouette and MADE IN ENGLAND; impressed shape number 956.N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfectly Imperfect vintage condition.
