Description: Frankly, we do not know the purpose of this covered dish or really what to call it. The bottom is thick and sturdy whereas the top is thinner. The bottom has an inset edge into which the top fits perfectly. Only the top has the rain cloud border and there is no outside decoration on the bottom sides. The bottom is glazed. The top has a flat blue knob. We date it to the late 19th Century.
