Antique “Tongue Dish” – Victorian Ironstone by S. Fielding & Co., England (c. 1880–1917)
A rare and quirky piece of Victorian tableware, this antique ironstone tongue dish was crafted by S. Fielding & Co. of Stoke-on-Trent, England, makers of the famed Devon Ware line. Designed specifically for serving tongue—a delicacy in 19th-century dining—these specialty dishes were both practical and a charming novelty for the Victorian table.
This example features elegant script reading “Tongue Dish” across the center, framed by decorative flourishes. The raised rim detailing and characteristic crazing in the glaze give it all the beauty and patina of age.
