I am pleased to offer a Botanic Garden Christmas Rose or Helleborus Niger pie baking dish. The same width as a dinner plate, but deeper, this dish features an original hard to find motif that was retired very early.

The dish is in excellent condition with shiny glaze and few, if any, signs of use! Please be sure to look below for more photos and a complete description.


It has an unglazed bottom and can be used to bake pies in the oven. This shape has been retired for some years now and is no longer in production.

The Christmas Rose flower was introduced in 1984 and retired recently in 2004. The lovely design was based on an image in an antique botany book Medical Botany, Volume I by John Stevenson and James Mors Churchill.

Size	10-3/4" across the top, 8-1/2" from inner rim to inner rim, a little over 1-1/2" deep
Transfer	Very bright and colorful with well defined crisp overglaze transfer. To be completely accurate there is a stacking scratch over one of the leaves. Very minor and hard to see unless holding the dish 'just so' in a bright light.
Ground	Very white
Glaze	NO crazing or other glaze flaw seen
Chips/Cracks	None
Stains	None, even the bottom unglazed ring where it sits is very clean.
Use Marks	None, except for one mark as mentioned above. Very minor and hard to see. Likely from another item stacked on top. There are no other scratches or signs of use at all.
Other Comments	An excellent retired Christmas Rose pie baking dish!

The bottom is unglazed for cooking in the oven. It has a Crest ID mark on the bottom.
