BACKGROUND:
This pin or jam dish is an example of "contemporary" Wedgwood chinaware, just a nice small dish from my wife's extensive collection to hold a bit of costume jewellery but she told me that in the past she has also used this type of dish for strawberry jam with scones.
Quite small and as I have noticed that some folk seem confused by sizes, I have a photograph showing this dish next to a standard can of Coca Cola to give a better idea of the size.
DLAT Rating: 9.5/10 (Darling,Look At This!)
