This is a very pretty and highly decorative solid sterling silver heart-shaped dish, with glass liner.
The silver work is detailed and crisp. The heart-shaped handle is firmly attached and the glass liner is beautifully ornate.
Clearly hallmarked on the side for Birmingham 1899, with the maker''s mark for Walker & Hall.
I have seen a similar dish described as a caviar server. This could also be used for jam, butter, savoury sauces as well as a dressing table accessory.
Silver weight: 43g.
Length: 13cm
Width: 11cm
The silver is in excellent condition. There is a small chip on the rim of the glass liner - shown in photograph 6 - and two light scratches (both less than 1cm in length) together on the base of the glass. The dish isn''t gilded - this is simply a reflection of the camera flash
