Revere Silver Co. Sterling Shell Dish

Many sterling flatware sets contained dishes and platters to hold nuts, candy or bonbons. This dish was likely a candy or nut dish accompanied by other dishes of similar size to be placed on a tables before hors d'oeuvres for light snacking before or with a drink. This dish was likely from a nautical, or more specifically, a shell themed set. This set may have included shell shaped serving trays, nautical cutlery, or serving utensils with shell shaped handles. Not part of a set, it works quite well with an ocean themed interior, or one sporting white metal hardware and sweeping curves. Produced by Revere Silver Co., it is another example produced by a popular 20th century American silversmith, thats still useful and aesthetic today. The interior is polished, and does contain a few blemishes, while the back is unpolished and sporting a warm patina. A great jewelry dish for the nightstand or dresser, it fits rings and chains quite well while displaying them beautifully.
