The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the nineteenth century, formal dining etiquette called for specialized serving vessels for almost every food item. Silver-plated butter dishes became popular table accessories, designed with fitted lids and interior liners to keep butter cool during meals.

These dishes were typically constructed from electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) or sterling silver, paired with removable glass, frosted glass, or ceramic liners to protect the metal from reacting with salt and moisture in the butter.

Authentic pieces usually feature manufacturer stamps, hallmarks, or EPNS makers marks on the underside of the base or rim, along with Victorian design details such as engraved geometric or botanical patterns and cast finials.

While originally intended for the dining table, antique silver butter dishes can be styled on a sideboard, dresser, or bathroom counter to store small items such as jewellery, trinkets, or bath salts.

Clean silver plate using a soft cloth and a gentle silver polish, avoiding harsh scrubbing that can strip the plating layer. Wash the glass liner separately by hand in warm soapy water.
