    Is it the real deal?

    These were made as serving pieces so what would it be for? Too big for a salt dip? This same shape was made in several sizes.

    EVERYTHING looks "right" about this - color, marks, subject.
    My only comment is it must never have been actually used, the bottom is so clean.
    Perhaps it was stored forever..? What is the date of this please? :)

    It does have wear to the top gold rim and one tiny chip on the rim also. The numbers are 746/67
    Not a date is it?

    This is a perfect candidate for a good bidding war!
    I just may list it and start bidding at what I paid for it....

    Great find, so lucky :)
    Just for your information - looks as the mark is crossed over with two lines, meaning it's third sorting. A lot of collectors buy only first sorting, but this is still very valuable.

    The qualifying marks. Deemed unsuitable and of lower quality!

    Thanks go to @Erik Aunapuu
    All I did was research the qualifying marks.
    I thought early 1900's before.
