Collection: Sardine/Butter Dishes & Cheese Domes

Antique sardine dishes were designed to hold small fish or fish paste and were very popular in the mid to late 1800s and early 1900s, especially in England. These dishes are also ideal for holding butter, pate or other small food items.

Antique cheese domes from the 1880s are highly decorative pieces that add a sense of style and drama to the table of the mantelpiece. Made from stoneware or porcelain they feature elaborate and striking designs
