Antique Wedgwood Game Pie Dish Circa 1850

Factory - Josiah Wedgwood & Sons
Stoneware pie dish and cover, moulded with relief decoration, and removable glazed liner.
Oval dish of dark buff-coloured stoneware, or ‘caneware’, moulded to simulate a decorated raised pie crust. The sides are decorated with swags of fruiting vine and hanging game birds and a narrow rolled band at top and bottom edges, the cover with game birds and dead rabbits. A central rabbit finial provides a handle for the cover. The dish has vertical mould marks at either end and an inner rim which supports the cover; it is glazed on the inside beneath the rim.The underside is very slightly concave with no foot-rim. The liner is undecorated, but of paler colour on the inside and with small ‘handles’ inside each end; it is glazed inside and out.
Production date is circa 1850. In 1850 Wedgwood introduced a glazed stoneware liner, or ‘pie middle’, which could be used for cooking meat or game in the oven and then placed inside the warmed pie dish before serving.
Note that there is a small crack to the right upper edge of the inner clay pot.
