The body features a bold orange and yellow geometric pattern, while the green lid shows beautiful brushstrokes. This piece truly encapsulates the playfulness and artistry of the Art Deco period. The lid has a notch for a spoon, indicating its original use as a container for condiments such as mustard, pickles, or chutney. What's unique is the design on both sides of the body.

Special Notes:
The crown mark is the backstamp (maker's mark) of "Myott Son & Co." (England), serving as the company's trademark. Myott Son & Co. was a ceramic manufacturer founded in 1898 in "Stoke-on-Trent," a famous pottery region in England. Like many British ceramic manufacturers, the crown motif was often used to symbolize "the prestige of the British royal family" and "being made in England." Above the crown mark, "MYOTT SON & CO. ENGLAND" is written, and below it, "HAND PAINTED" and "H.W.147," indicating the manufacturer, manufacturing method, and product number.
