Victorian Silver Bonbon Dish, James Dixon, 1895 Victorian  Silver Bonbon Dish %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
Here we have an attractive late Victorian Sterling Silver Bonbon Dish. The dish is boat or navette shaped with scroll ends, pierced sides and embossed shell and flower decoration at each end. It has a flat base.

The bonbon dish is made in Sheffield by noted silversmiths James Dixon & Sons and dates to 1895. James Dixon founded the firm in around 1806 with his partner Thomas Smith. When Smith left the business in 1823, James was joined by first one and then both of his sons to create James Dixon & Sons. They famously commissioned designs from Dr Christopher Dresser in the 1870s and 1880s including his iconic and astonishing range of teapots. The firm remained in business up until the 1980s when they were absorbed into British Silverware.

Condition is very good with just one very small dent at one end of the base plus the superficial surface wear that has to be expected after nover 125 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The dish is 18.7cm / 7.4ins long, 8.3cm / 3.2ins across and 4.7cm / 1.8ins high. It weighs in at a substantial 107.6g / 3.8oz of solid Sterling Silver.

The hallmarks, on the underside of the base, 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 c for 1895 and the distinctive J.D & S makers' mark for James Dixon & Sons.

Shipping in the UK is £11 by Royal Mail Special Delivery, which includes cover for the value of the dish.
