A wonderful early example of an oval meat or food dome beautifully decorated all around with a foliate "skirt" to coordinate with the fabulous and grand handle, all hand chased.

The traditional way of incorporating a family or armorial crest into an Old Sheffield Plate piece is by sinking a solid sterling silver ingot into the area to be engraved, this way no base metal (copper) would show through the engraving. You can see a rectangular shadow to one side of he dome where this was undertaken and the ingot set ready for engraving.

Dating to around 1800 / 1820, it remains in superb condition. 15" x 10" x 9 1/2" tall to top of handle.
