This circular trinket dish dates to the Art Deco period of the 1920s. It consists of a black Bakelite body paired with a contrasting silver overlay depicting the historic sailing ship HMS Victory centrally positioned upon the bowl, complete with detailed masts, rigging, hull, and an inscribed banner running below the vessel. The shallow vessel measures 9 cm across and is suited for placement on an office desk in a gentleman's library interior style. Buyers might use this piece to hold small everyday items such as cufflinks, keys, or loose coins. The compact dish fits neatly upon side tables, writing desks, or mantelpieces within a home today, offering a practical accessory with naval heritage associations.

FAQs

During the 1920s, Bakelite became a revolutionary synthetic plastic used for decorative household objects. Silversmiths often applied thin sterling silver motifs onto the dark polished surface, combining modern industrial materials with classical metallic artistry.

Craftsmen attached sterling silver designs using delicate electroplating techniques or by pressing fine silver cut-outs directly into the molded phenolic resin surface while warm, ensuring a flush and secure finish.

Authentic Bakelite produces a distinctive chemical odor when rubbed briskly to create friction or tested with warm water. Sterling silver overlays typically display microscopic hallmark stamps, silver purity marks, or makers initials along the edge of the metalwork.

A small maritime dish functions effectively as a focal desk accessory in a home office or gentlemans library setting. It can be placed on top of stacked leather-bound books or inside a display cabinet alongside vintage brass instruments.

Wipe the Bakelite base with a damp microfiber cloth and avoid harsh chemical solvents that dull phenolic resin. Gently clean the silver overlay with a dedicated silver polishing cloth, taking care not to rub abrasive polishes onto the surrounding black surface.
