Crafted by Mappin & Webb, this Entree Dish epitomises the elegance and craftsmanship of bygone eras. With dimensions of 11.1" in length, 8.3" in width, and a dish height to rim of 1.5", this piece blends sophistication with practicality.
The lid features intricate details including bead patterning along the top rim and handles, which are soldered securely and adorned with a foliage design at the joining point. The underside of the lid continues the bead patterning, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
Further embellishments are found on the dish's rim, characterised by bead patterning.
