It was alongside two others but this was the only one in the condition I look for for my shop. The metal is copper. The background color is a gorgeous shade of turquoise around a floral and foliate design in greens, pinks, reds, blues, and even some yellow. It features a scalloped design around the rim inside and out, and a basic floral design on the outside, along with a vibrant blue enameled base. The copper rim has been polished and the dish itself has been cleaned with just a dry cloth. There are no dents, cracks or missing enamel. There is some pitting consistent with age. less
