Two internal trays allow the height of service to be adjusted — a practical detail that speaks to the original craft of the piece. One small dent is visible on the body, shown in the photographs. The lid fits cleanly and the structure is sound throughout. At approximately 16 cm in diameter and 15 cm in height, it sits well on a table without dominating it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnglish silver plating reached its commercial peak in the Victorian period, when Sheffield and Birmingham silversmiths refined electroplating techniques that brought the look of sterling to a broader market. This piece is accompanied by a certificate of origin issued by Carli, the heritage jewellers of Lucca, confirming late nineteenth-century English production. English manufacture with Italian certification places it within a European silver-collecting tradition that has remained active across both markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish \/ Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver plated · Turned wooden finial on lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late 1800s · Victorian English silver plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certificate of origin issued by Carli, heritage jewellers of Lucca · Late nineteenth-century English production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domed lid · Two adjustable internal trays · Versatile use — vegetables, cheese, desserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dish, lid, and 2 internal trays · Certificate of origin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeight: approx. 15 cm · Diameter: approx. 16 cm · Internal tray diameter: approx. 13 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only — do not place in dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing to prevent water marks on the plated surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolish with a soft silver cloth to maintain the finish — avoid abrasive pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a dry environment; wrap in acid-free cloth if storing long-term to slow tarnishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"L'Officina General Store","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":53235055132939,"sku":"202623103","price":70.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/9669\/5051\/files\/2_5a942999-9414-4d3f-bb5e-636b13196031.png?v=1785232804","url":"https:\/\/officinageneralstore.com\/products\/english-silver-plated-vegetable-dish-antique-with-lid-trays","provider":"L'Officina General Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
