Covered Vegetable Dish c. 1865

This set of covered vegetable dishes, produced by Minton's Pottery and Porcelain Factory around 1865, is a fine example of English ceramic craftsmanship. The dishes feature a vibrant red and gold palette with intricate floral and scrollwork motifs, showcasing the decorative aesthetic of Victorian tableware. The use of gilt accents and delicate floral designs adds to the elegance and refinement of the set, making it suitable for formal dinners and special occasions. The dishes are currently located at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, where they stand as a testament to the artistic legacy of Minton's.
