Victorian Silver Shell Dish, James Deakin, 1900
Here we have a fine quality late Victorian Sterling Silver Shell Dish. The dish is shaped as a scallop shell and stands on three ball feet. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind. Originally intended as a butter dish, today it would work equally well as a trinket dish for antique jewellery on a dressing table or bedside cabinet or for holding small items of stationery on a desk.
The shell dish is made in Sheffield by renowned silversmiths James Deakin & Sons and dates to 1900. Originally founded by James Deakin in 1866, it became James Deakin & Sons in 1886 when William, John and Albert Deakin joined their father in the business. They continued to produce good quality silverware and silver plate up until the late 1930s.
Condition is extremely good with no dings or dents and just the minimal superficial surface wear that has to be expected after over 120 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The dish measures 10.6cm / 4.2ins from rim to handle, 8.3cm / 3.2ins across and stands 2cm / 0.79ins high. It weighs a respectable 32.2g / 1.1oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks on the upper side of the handle are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the crown assay mark for Sheffield, the Gothic date letter h for 1900 and the JD over WD for John & William Deakin of James Deakin & Sons.
Shipping in the UK is £6.50 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For Parcel Post.
Overseas customers, please ask us about shipping costs to your country before making a purchase.
