Late 19th Century Silver Plate Large Shell Butter Dish with Scroll Handle and Integrated Butter Knife Rack by James Deakin and Sons, Very Good Makers.

19th century
Description

Circa 1890 silver plate large shell butter dish with frosted liner and stylish split scroll and ball handle having an integrated stand for the included silver plated butter knife. Very clever and unusual.

The whole stands on ball feet, and was made by James Deakin and Sons of Sheffield, very good makers.

Also useful for caviar, pickles and olives, where a fork or spoon could be held in the stand holder instead.

The shell can also be used either with or without the liner (see photo).

Size-6 inches long by 5.5 inches wide by 3 inches high.

Weight-325 grams.

The liner has some edge nicks, mainly to the underside, which are not very visible from the top side.

A very stylish, unusual, and very good quality butter dish in overall good condition.

Many additional knives in solid silver and silver plate, and bread and pickle forks and spoons are in stock if desired to be used with this dish for multiple purposes.

Declaration

Serpentine Antiques has dated this piece to the 1890s.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
