It measures 9 inches square.<\/p>\n<p>Well over 100 years ago when this dish broke in half, it was brought to a &#8220;china mender&#8221; who repaired it using 12 metal staples, aka rivets. Originally it had a cover but I am guessing that when it took a tumble the lid was broken beyond repair. But at least the more functional piece survived and thanks to the handiwork of a 19th century restorer, this dish can still be used today.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=12792\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12792\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12792\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2375-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2375-1.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2375-1-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2375-1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=12788\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12788\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12788\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2376.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2376.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2376-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2376-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=12789\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12789\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12789\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2377-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2377-1.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2377-1-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2377-1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=12791\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12791\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12791\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2378.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2378.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2378-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2378-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=12790\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12790\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12790\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2378-Version-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2378-Version-3.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2378-Version-3-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2378-Version-3-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This covered dish of similar form and decoration still has its original cover.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dish.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10378\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dish.jpg\" alt=\"dish\" width=\"400\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dish.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dish-300x237.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com\">eBay<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This serving dish was made in England by Wedgwood, c.1830.
