Description

One of the most special Breakfast dishes I have come across in some time, we only ever purchase them when they are particularly special, this one by top London silversmiths, Mappin Brothers.

The dish stands on four highly decorative shaped legs. The dome is engraved with Ferns both back and front surrounding a vacant cartouche; a very English design and a very Victorian theme. The revolving lid is kept closed with the help of a key on a chain.

When the knob at the front is pushed back the dome revolves to reveal the two original shallow trays. 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.

A quality Victorian example in superb condition dating to c.1890. 13 3/4" handle to handle x 9" (plus knob) x 8 1/2" tall.
