Welcome to ANTIQUES & MOORE!
This listing is for a lovely 19th Century English silver plated round lidded vegetable bowl or buffet server. Made by the George Richmond Collis Company in business in Birmingham from 1840-1893. The lid has an embossed swag encircling the scalloped edge of the top with ribbons and bows at the top of each swag. There is also a beaded trim around the top with a matching design on the border of the base. The finial handle is removable allowing the top to be used as a second dish, if desired. Has fancy monogram "R P".
Tureen is marked on the base "Collis & Co., 130 Regent St., London" and in fancy hallmarks "E P B S A1". This hallmark indicates that the silver is Electro-Plated Britannia Silver. George Richmond Collis & Co. is registered as a Birmingham silversmith so the London address is most likely a retail location.
Measures 1 3/4" high (to top of base), about 5" (to top of finial) and 10" in diameter (base). Weighs 3.6 pounds.
