This antique English silver plated pair of oval-shaped entrée dishes is an exceptional example of 19th to early 20th century tableware, reflecting both the artistry and practicality of fine English silver plate craftsmanship. Each dish is designed with a detachable top handle, allowing for ease of use, and features richly detailed cast bead borders complemented by intricate floral motifs along the exterior. The lids are reversible, providing the option to use them as separate open dishes, which enhances their versatility for both serving and presentation.
The craftsmanship demonstrates careful attention to proportion and detail, with the oval form elegantly balanced and the silver plated surface maintaining a refined luster. The underside of each dish bears maker’s marks and production numbers, confirming their English origin and authentic silver plated manufacture.
