Larger dishes like these would have been used in Elizabethan England as serving dishes on formal occasions.
Also known as an Alms Dish it can be displayed as an ornament or used to collect small everyday items or precious objects. Made in 925 solid silver, the hallmark by the London Assay Office is a design feature on the rim of the dish, just like the Elizabethan ones in the British Museum.
This is a lovely gift for a Christening, engagement, wedding or anniversary.
We send this gift to you in one of our silk lined Hersey presentation boxes.
