Vintage 1944 Bartsch Co Little BoPeep Baby Warming Plate Divided Bakelite Chrome

I wish I had one of these when my sons were babies - a bakelite serving dish seated permanently in a chrome plated base! A pretty green knob unscrews for you to put hot water in the base to keep the food warm while you fly the airplanes into the hanger! Brilliant! The design of the 3-section divided plate is classic: Little Bo-Peep with her lambs in the biggest section along with a 2 smaller sections one featuring a cat and one a dog. The base also has 2 good sized scalloped chrome plated handles. Its design was patented and the dish was made in 1944 by the Bartsch Mfg. Co. in Chicago. This piece is beautifully made. Measurements: 9 1/4" across from outside tip of handle to opposite. Ceramic dish is 6 3/4" in diameter. Food compartments are 1 1/2" deep. Excellent condition.
