FAQs

Popularised during the nineteenth century, bonbon dishes were crafted to serve small confectioneries, sweetmeats, and candied fruits at formal tea gatherings and dinner parties. They reflected the periods emphasis on elaborate dining etiquette and intricate metalwork.

These dishes were predominantly crafted from sterling silver or electroplated nickel silver. Craftsmen employed techniques such as die-stamping, openwork lattice piercing, chasing, and repousse detailing to form elaborate floral and scroll motifs.

Authentic pieces generally feature clear makers marks, purity hallmarks, or maker trade stamps on the underside or edge. Look for signs of period craftsmanship, such as hand-finished piercing and characteristic Victorian decorative elements like scrolls and acanthus leaves.

Small silver dishes serve as functional accents on vanity tables for holding jewellery, on hall consoles for keys, or positioned on coffee tables as catch-all trays to contrast against contemporary surfaces.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and a specialized silver polish formulated for fine metalwork. Avoid abrasive sponges, wash carefully in warm soapy water, and dry thoroughly to prevent oxidisation and moisture damage.
