1850s Antique Bathwell & Goodfellow Blue & White China Shell Dishes.

We are delighted to have this opportunity to offer you this pair of 1850s Antique Bathwell & Goodfellow Blue & White China Shell Dishes.

The dishes are both in fair antique condition with no cracks or restoration. They are not perfect and have quite a lot of crazing, discolouration, and one or two small chips in the china on the front surface of each dish. The embossed blue hand painted motif is also slightly chipped in places. The price has been adjusted to account for the defects. In good condition, each dish would be worth in excess of £100.
