Antique, 7” Late 19th c.
Butter Plate
A
unique 3-piece design!
Here’s a Victorian treat for your
table! This large, 7” butter server was likely a product of the mid-to-late 19th
Century! Featuring a base with four ornate feet made from the Greek Anemoi, or
gods of wind, an insert to keep your butter separate from your ice, and a lid
with an ornate stamped design and heavy finial, this piece has Victorian charm
abound!
This piece features a “butter cooler”
insert, an invention of the 1850s to prevent contact between the butter and the
ice! These became more ornate in the later 1800s, likely bounding this item as
being made between 1855 and 1875. The piece is stamped on the base “700”
Condition:
This set is in VERY GOOD condition! The
butter dish retains its original patina, which has not been modified, giving it
a fantastic, worn-in look that accentuates the pattern. Polishing the patina
off might expose base metal, as it is worn in places, and is not advised unless
you desire to re-plate the piece.
Measurements (approx):
Max diameter: 7 in
Height: 6 in
