Antique Flow Blue Individual Butter Pats Set/3 /hg

There’s a hint of whimsy to these little individual butter pat dishes made somewhere between the late 19th century and early 20th century.  At first glance they look celestial, like a night sky, but are actually a dark blue edge with a hand-painted gold floral swag design.  So delicate and pretty!  I believe these to be made by New Wharf Pottery Company of England, but there’s no maker’s mark on the underside to confirm.  

The butter pats were estate-owned and are in good vintage condition.  You will see all-over crazing and a couple of small chips along the underside of the rim on one of the dishes.  

They measure just over 3.5” in diameter.
