Unusual Scottish Cut Glass and Silver Plated Lidded Serving Dish C.1920

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Puckerings
Description

A really unusual lidded serving box, this design usually coming in the form of preserve jars, biscuit boxes etc.; mostly by John Grinsell or Hukin and Heath.

This large example I have never seen before and with the aperture in the lid to accommodate a serving spoon, I can only guess that this was made from storing and serving something like Fruit.

The multi-faceted sides is then engraved with a simple linear design and the underside with a star-cut design. This one is signed on the silver plated collar by the Scottish silversmith, goldsmith and Jewellery, "Edward, Glasgow" for Edward and Sons of 92 Buchanan Street Glasgow.

Dating to c.1910 / 1920 it remains in excellent condition measuring 8 3/4" in diameter x 4 1/4" tall.

This Scottish lidded serving dish dates from the Art Deco period, around 1910 to 1920, and is constructed from clear cut glass and silver plate. The circular glass vessel has multi-faceted sides engraved with a simple linear grid pattern, a starburst cut to the underside, and a polished silver-plated collar bearing the signature of Edward and Sons of Glasgow. A plain, highly polished silver-plated lid with a small aperture for a serving spoon tops the piece. It measures 10.8 cm high, 22.2 cm wide, and 22.2 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this dish suits use on a dining room sideboard or a living room table for serving fruits, biscuits, or preserves during gatherings. The reflective metallic surface and geometric cut crystal complement both traditional and modern interior schemes as an elegant tabletop display item.

FAQs

During the 1910s and 1920s, manufacturers combined heavy cut glass with electroplated nickel silver covers to produce affordable dining accessories. Scottish glassworks and Sheffield platers produced covered butter dishes, preserve pots, and serving bowls that featured clean, geometric cuts reflecting the transition into Art Deco aesthetics.

These vessels were manufactured using blown lead glass or soda-lime glass that was wheel-cut with decorative patterns. The covers and rims were constructed from base metals such as nickel silver or copper, electroplated with a thin layer of pure silver.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut glass edges with slight variations in cutting depth, alongside appropriate wear on the base. The metal mounts often feature maker marks or electroplate stamps, such as EPNS, along the inner rim or underside of the lid.

A lidded glass dish functions well as a table centrepiece, a dressing table trinket container, or a sideboard accessory. Placing the piece near natural light accentuates the refractivity of the cut glass and the polished sheen of the silver lid.

Clean the glass base using warm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding hot water that can cause thermal shock. The silver-plated cover should be polished gently with a non-abrasive silver cloth to prevent wearing away the thin electroplated silver layer.
