Belly Button Lid
I take back my earlier comment about the lid looking like the T&C soup tureen lid (although, it still does in profile). It looks more like Eva's Hyalyn belly button plates and bowls. How cool.
Mother Daughter

Design Continuity
Here are a couple of photos showing Eva's T&C soup tureen lid and a Hyalyn salad plate with her signature belly button detail. I love the unique design vocabulary that Eva used in all of her designs.
