Very pretty pierced antique bon-bon dish. In the late Victorian and Edwardian eras these were often used to serve small treats at the table such as Bon-bons, candied fruits, nuts or small pastries. The pierced gallery around the sides was a very popular decorative style that made the dish look lighter and more elegant. This particular dish was made in London by the Alex R Clark Company which was a very reputable firm based in both London and Sheffield and they were known for their high-quality silver plate. This was their ‘Welbeck’ plate, a top tier silver plate often used in hotels and high-end homes. This would therefore be dated around 1910-1920. It is in good antique condition with normal signs of wear (please see photos of the inside). I have removed all the tarnish and polished it.
Measurements: Handle to Handle 28cms, width 16cms, 8.5cms high
