Pair of Victorian Silverplate Entree Dishes

Pair of Victorian Silverplate Entree Dishes

third quarter 19th century, by William Hutton & Sons, Sheffield, each of cavetto-canted rectangular form with gadroon-and-shell rim, the conforming lid banded en suite and with detachable melon-form finial handle.
h. 5", l. 12-3/4", w. 9-3/4"
Condition Report: **Some wear associated with age and use, including some scratches in the bottom of both dishes exposing the light yellow "Britannia Metal" base, and some wear along the underside edges of both similarly exposing the base metal, and a 3/8" diameter pinpoint dent on the side of one dish. The finials have a few bumps and bleeding to the base metal, though here the metal is a much lighter color and the wear well-concealed. Still, a handsome and functional pair.
