Thomas Fitzhugh served from 1786 to 1800 in Guangzhou (Canton) as a director of the British East India Company.How it Works:The platter fitted with a hot water reservoir, with all over conforming decoration.These were of great use for keeping food warm. Hot water was poured through the left side spout into an open cavity below the platter, originally having a cork stopper. The left side flange is pierced for the escape of steam. Not many these complete tureens survived, due to adding hot water to porcelain and the constant use.Overall MeasurementsTogether 7-Inches -high x 15-Inches wide x 9.5 -Inches deepCover – 4-Inches -high x 12-Inches wide x 9-Inches deepReservoir Platter 2.75 -Inches -high x 15Inches wide x 9.5-Inches deep14-Inches wide with out the spouts, the reservoir of the platter measures 9-Inches wide x 6.5-Inches deep. less
