Product Description
In 1840 the US government commissioned a ship to be outfitted with a light to aid navigation through the seas around the island of Nantucket. Crews who manned this ship worked eight months shifts and to pass the time they began making baskets as the native Americans had taught them. And so the Nantucket lightship basket was born. This beautiful sculpted design in pure white china was inspired by these very baskets which are now avidly collected.
Amazon.com Review
Nantucket baskets were originally made in the mid-1800s by lightship keepers off the coast of the tiny island of Nantucket, Massachusetts, to earn extra income for their families. Today the tradition of making these baskets is still very much alive and carrying a handcrafted Nantucket basket is quite a status symbol among East Coasters who have visited or summer on the island. Wedgwood's Nantucket pattern captures the heritage of these baskets and the tastefulness of New England's upper crust in a simple yet lovely dinnerware collection. This charming, pure white, oval butter dish measures 9 by 6-1/4 inches and features no more ornamentation than an embossed basketweave pattern around its rim. The removable oval lid is completely covered by the basketweave pattern in an authentic representation and is topped with a darling clamshell finial. As with many Wedgwood collections, this dinnerware is made of fine bone china, which gives this dish a beautiful translucent sheen and makes it look quite thin and brittle. In spite of its delicate appearance, however, bone china is reinforced with 51-percent bone ash and is the strongest ceramic available. This modern-day china is safe for the microwave and dishwasher and is made in England with the same quality and care as earlier pieces from Wedgwood's 240 years of production. This butter dish easily moves from casual meals to dressier affairs and coordinates with a variety of other dinner- and serveware pieces within the Nantucket collection. --Cristina Vaamonde

I still haven't received the item yet, therefore I can't really review it. I ordered it a month and a half ago and was informed that it was over sold. Since then I haven't received any information on the status of the order and have been unsuccessful in finding out information through the website.
