Irmine Celery Dish
This vintage porcelain celery dish is adorned with roses and has hand painted gold accents painted around the border trim. Celery dishes are usually long narrow boat shaped bowls, somewhat resembling an inverted butter dish. They were used for serving cooked celery (unlike its partner the celery vase—which would hold the celery upright in water). Celery was often served fresh between courses in Victorian tradition, but from the 1830s to the mid 1900s it was a popular menu item that was served in a variety of ways.
This is a found object, in great condition. There are no cracks or chips. The bottom is slightly worn around the foot simply from the rubbing of surfaces.
The dish measures 12 1/4 inches long by 5 1/2 inches at the widest part of the dish. The dish stands 1 1/2 inches tall.
Additional uses: Fill with your favorite vegetable, candies, sewing notions.
