Featured Brain Freeze...What do you call this?

This was with the dollhouse stuff but is a little box really. It's English by Mitella and the inside is enamelled. But what do you call this type of serving dish?

Thanks!

 

I'd call it a cloche serving dish, but tableware is not my thing.

 

"Covered" also works. Looks like it's for a "roast."

 

Both of those work. Thanks!

 

How bid is it? Could be a covered butter dish...

 

May we see the inside, please?

 

If it's meant to cover a roast, or the Thanksgiving turkey, it's a dome (usually). If it's for butter, the dish is covered (usually), and it will have a 3rd piece under which one sequesters the ice to keep the butter cool.

 

If there are other pieces of this "set" in the hoard, it would probably help to ID this one by showing other identifiable pieces next to it.

 

It's about 2" across. Way too small for butter.

 

Are there other pieces - like dinner plates or such - to compare too? 2 inches may be just right for butter, depending on the "scale."

 

If dollhouse scale is 1/12, could translate to the right size for roast, etc., at dolls' table.

 

My guess is play tableware (like a tea set) over a specific dollhouse scale.

... Okay, maybe for a roast.

 

If you do an eBay search for Mitella, they make little vanity type stuff and other things. This is not a dollhouse miniature. It was just the right size and got added to a dollhouse. I find all kinds of things like this in dollhouse lots.

 

It's Mirella not Mitella.

 

Yup, Mirella, they made dressing table items as well. That, people, is a muffin or crumpet dish. Or at least, it would be in a dolls house. Originally, for solid perfume or rouge.
