19th century
Description

This striking VICTORIAN POTTERY CHEESE DOME AND STAND bears the Factory Marks of Powell, Bishop & Stonier (1878-91) of Hanley, Staffordshire Potteries and, inside the cover, an impressed Victorian Design Registration Lozenge.

The DOME is decorated in relief with Anthemions, Classical Laurel Swags and Greek Key Pattern. Small Oak Leaves on the base are highlighted with colour, as are some high points on the Dome. The edges and the ornate, open work handle are lined with gilt.

The Dome has small pierced holes, allowing air to circulate, thus allowing the Cheese beneath to breathe.

The condition is good. There is some wear to the paint.

A subtle, inspired design with a mixture of grandeur and simplicity.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1880s:
Impressed Victorian registration lozenge inside the dome: registered design before 1884.
Printed Oriental Ivory maker's mark: Powell, Bishop and Stonier production from 1878 onwards.
Fine, regular glaze crazing across the dish and cover: natural age in earthenware.
Surface wear to the green coloured accents: honest handling over many decades.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

This Victorian earthenware cheese dome and stand dates from around 1880, originating from the Staffordshire potteries and bearing factory marks alongside an impressed design registration lozenge. The glazed cream body displays elaborate relief moulding, incorporating classical laurel swags, anthemions, a Greek key band, and stylised foliage, complemented by small oak leaves on the base. Green and brown pigments highlight specific high points on the dome and the base decoration, while the ornate, openwork loop handle and edges receive fine lining, and the cover includes small pierced ventilation holes. The piece measures 28 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 30 cm deep. Placed on a kitchen island or a dining table, this large lidded set stores and serves cheese while bringing a traditional English country house aesthetic to domestic interiors.

FAQs

Introduced in the 19th century, pottery cheese domes were designed to keep whole blocks or wheels of cheese at ambient temperature while protecting them from insects and dust prior to domestic refrigeration.

These serving pieces were primarily crafted from glaze-fired earthenware, stoneware, or majolica, often featuring relief-moulded decoration and hand-applied coloured glazes.

Authentic late 19th-century examples typically display heavy press-moulded earthenware bodies, ventilation holes near the base or handle, glaze crazing, and impressed or printed maker marks on the underside of the platter.

Display the cheese dome as a central feature on a kitchen island, sideboard, or dresser top to add historical texture and character to contemporary kitchen displays.

Hand wash gently using warm water and a mild detergent, avoiding prolonged soaking or automated dishwashers, as unglazed foot rims and crazed glazes readily absorb moisture.
