Vintage Hand-Painted “Duck Pond” Ovenproof Serving Dish – Signed by M. Hodgett

A truly charming piece of English pottery, this large hand-painted serving dish features a beautifully detailed scene of a mallard pair with their ducklings gliding across a lily-dotted pond. The artwork is signed by M. Hodgett, whose delicate brushwork brings such warmth, character, and movement to the piece.

Made in England and stamped fireproof, this dish isn’t just decorative, it’s wonderfully practical too. Its generous, oval shape makes it perfect for serving hearty casseroles, pies, roasted vegetables, or seasonal bakes straight from the oven to the table. The soft, painterly glaze in shades of green, blue, and warm brown lends it that timeless countryside charm.

Equally, it would make a beautiful display piece hung on a kitchen wall or styled on an open shelf, adding a touch of storybook rural life to your home. A perfect blend of function and art, and a one-of-a-kind piece to treasure.
