Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1880s.
The interior reveals the the two original trays inside. These are perfect on a buffet to serve either hot (with hot water beneath) or cold (with crushed ice below) dishes; a very impressive addition to any occasion.
The domed lid is beautifully fluted with a regal heraldic crest engraved to the central oval cartouche.
The underside is fully marked by the top-notch silversmith, James Dixon & Son of Sheffield, there is a patent number for this particular mechanical example and what I believe to be a design registration number for the year 1886.
The dish stands on four wonderful legs with Lion's paw feet. Excellent condition, spanning 14 1/2" with the dish interior measuring 9 1/2" x 6 1/2"; standing 9 1/2" tall to top of handle.
