Interesting Caviar Dish - Need help ID'ing???

Post by chucktheaggie »

Hello All,

Chucktheaggie here. Found this very interesting and beautiful Caviar Dish. Pictures were taken in natural lighting. Attached are the photos of the hallmark and the piece.
Any information would be appreciated, I cannot identify it. Also, is is Sterling/Coin or plated- your basic opinions?
Thank you all for your time and expertise!!!

If that is the only mark than it is probably plated. I believe what it says is "ENGLAND", just blurry

Hello,

Legrandmogol thank you for your info. This is the Only obvious mark I could find. Although there looks like to be small "S" on the bottom of one of the Lion's legs. Could just be a manufacturing error.?
Anyone have an idea on age or the maker of the piece, anyone???
Thanks to everyone!!!

probably dates from between 1895 - 1950, definitely English and probably massed produced for export. Also, it is probably a mustard pot or salt cellar (depending on the size) rather than a caviar dish. If you look around online for English Silver plate mustard pot or salt cellar you may find the same one only marked.
