FAQs

A sterling silver bonbon dish is a small tableware vessel specifically crafted to serve confectionery, nuts, or small delicacies. Often raised on a pedestal foot, these dishes were prominent features of formal British tea and dining services during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Mid-century sterling silver bonbon dishes were crafted using solid sterling silver, composed of 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for durability. Techniques such as piercing, fluting, casting, and hand-soldering pedestal bases were used to create decorative fretwork and structural stability.

Authentic English sterling silver features a standardized set of stamped hallmarks. These usually include a makers mark, the lion passant indicating sterling purity, an assay office symbol such as the anchor for Birmingham, and a date letter signifying the precise year of manufacture.

In contemporary settings, a small silver dish can be positioned on a sideboard, coffee table, or dressing table as a catch-all vessel for small items or jewellery. It can also serve as a centerpiece on a dining table or console to add a reflective metallic surface.

To prevent oxidisation and tarnish, sterling silver should be washed gently in warm soapy water, rinsed, and dried immediately with a soft cloth. Regular light polishing with a dedicated silver cloth removes early tarnish without removing the metal surface or detail.
