This antique dish is a very good gauge of silver, fine quality and in excellent presentation condition.

There are some fire marks to the well of the dish, in keeping with age.

Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the rim are all very clear; the second portion of the maker's mark has wear but remains legible.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these pieces of antique silverware.
