Description
MacKenzie-Childs Ceramic small oval dish Fluted in Bearded Iris.
This beautiful handmade small fluted dish is a piece of history from the MacKenzie-Childs era when Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs owned and designed at the factory in Aurora up until 2001. Currently, this Bearded Iris pattern and shape is not in production and has been retired for some time, so this piece is collectible.
The small dish measures 6 1/4” x 4 ¼” Has old square VRMC logo stamped on bottom with 1988 date stamp in center. Has old square VRMC stamps= 1990 in oval logo on bottom. Potter stamp initial “R” and the painter mark dark peach dot.
These small dishes sold as berry bowls, ice cream bowls, even as a soap dish for small soaps.
The pattern, Bearded Iris remembers the bright yellow beards in its botanical drawing of Richard’s Iris garden. From The Story Behind The Patterns Bearded Iris was part of the Taylor Series.
Dish is in nice vintage condition- just a couple of tiny glaze crawls underneath
MacKenzie-Childs factory sits upon the Cayuga Lake, one of the Finger Lakes in Upstate NY that spans 50 miles long.
ALL of my M-C items unless stated otherwise, were hand-painted and made from the period when Victoria and Richard were owners and worked at the factory. Contact for more photos or questions
