Carved Butter Dish with Rare Scottish Thistle Liner Plate

A nice example of a wonderful carved English wooden butter board, dating from the early part of the 20th Century.

This carved wooden butter dish, with its matching glass liner, most likely dates from the 1930s. It is in excellent condition, with the carved wooden detail still very crisp and sharp. Most notably, it is complete with its original glass liner which has a Scottish thistle etched into it. I have not seen a butter pat like this previously and it certainly makes this butter dish unique.

These make excellent display items as part of a kitchenalia or treen collection, yet are also still immensely useful.
