On a recent visit to a local Farm Shop I came across a basket of china dishes for sale.
Closer inspection revealed this stamped on the lips at each end.
And this message stamped on the inside.
I have no idea what these were for or, indeed, what the Patchwork products referred to in the inside are or were, but, really, I couldn't not buy one now could I??
Seems like there should be another piece to this OR maybe it is an ashtray with those indents. This has got my curiosity up. I hope you Keep us informed.

do hope someone lets you know about this I would never think to put my fabrics etc into a china dish, as Robin says keep us posted with any news about them
ReplyDeleteIntriguing! Let us know if you find out what it was used for.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice little dish and the patchwork references are interesting. I think for handwork it will be very useful to keep threads, scissors, pins etc for the duration of a project. I always have a box or bowl for each project but something like this would be perfect to keep all the little bits and pieces together...Who knows what it was really meant for :)
ReplyDeleteHow intriguing! Good job it came home with you - should have been dreadful if someone used it for an ashtray!
ReplyDeleteCute little dish. With the grooves, I'd say an ashtray perhaps.
