This Edwardian sterling silver bonbon dish is an octagonal tableware piece from the early 20th century, made in Birmingham by Synyer & Beddoes in 1922 and hallmarked with the maker's mark S&B, the anchor assay office mark, the lion passant standard mark, and the 1922 date letter. The bright silver-coloured metal object has a polished finish and stands on three ornate splayed scroll feet. The wide body is decorated with geometric rows of pierced latticework fretwork panels, topped by a beaded rim. Measuring 14 cm wide and 7 cm tall, this decorative piece suits display on a sideboard top in a dining room or living room, holding small sweets or ornamental items.

FAQs

Bonbon dishes emerged as specialized tableware during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, intended specifically for serving small confections, candied fruits, or nuts. Often fashioned in miniature basket or bowl shapes with intricate pierced lattice work, they were prominent decorative features on formal dining tables and drawing room trays.

British pieces were traditionally crafted from sterling silver (925 purity standard). Silversmiths utilized techniques such as hand-piercing, fretwork cutting, embossing, and die-stamping for decorative borders, while leg supports and feet were often cast separately and soldered to the main body.

Authentic British sterling silver features a standardized set of stamped hallmarks: a lion passant indicating silver purity, a town mark representing the assay office (such as an anchor for Birmingham), a makers mark consisting of initials, and a specific date letter denoting the year of manufacture.

Small silver vessels can be placed on a sideboard, coffee table, or dressing table as functional accents. They serve effectively as holding trays for small everyday objects such as jewellery or key rings, providing a metallic contrast within modern minimalist or classic decor schemes.

Maintain sterling silver by wiping it down with a soft, dry cotton cloth after use and storing it in a low-humidity environment to minimise oxidisation. For heavier tarnish, apply a specialized silver polish using gentle, straight motions, avoiding abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that can strip the metal.
