Description:

This small leaf-shaped deep dish is thought to be a butterboat for the serving of melted butter.  It bears a rare floral print that incorporates two small birds.  Branyan, French and Sandon classify this very rare pattern as a variation of the not uncommon Early Creamboat Sprays.  This is the only instance in their book where they classify two patterns that have substantial differences under the one name.
