ANTIQUE #SA735772

Early Victorian Blue & White Overlay Glass Butter Dish Silver Cow Cover

£845    $1,055    €1,012
A very striking and fine quality cut glass butter dish and stand, German or Bohemian, with double layer blue and white overlay, cut-to-clear in a pattern of large circles and quatrefoil and trefoil shapes. The stand with star cut centre and the tub with raised trefoil shaped lug side handles. The cover is English sterling silver and I believe it to be an original combination as the cover fits absolutely perfectly around the handles and the glass dates to the same period as the silver, c.1840-1850.
 
The silver cover has fine and ornate engraved decoration to frame a vacant cartouche on either side and is mounted with a finely detailed model of a recumbent cow. Both cover and cow have a full set of hallmarks for Sheffield 1847, makers Hawksworth, Eyre & Co.
 
It measures 11.5cm (4 1/2'') high. The stand is 16cm (6 1/4'') wide and the tub is 12cm (5 3/4'') rim to rim and 15.6cm (6 1/8'') across the handles.
 
In excellent condition. The glass is in perfect condition with no damage, chips or cracks or any issues with the overlaid layers. The silver cover is in very good condition with no dents or repairs and minor handling wear with the engraving nice and crisp and the cow also only has a couple of minor faults. A beautiful piece that displays superbly and ready for use.
