Silver Plated Butter Dish



Butter kept under its own little roof. Lift the silver shell and the glass beneath holds the butter cool, the kind of small ceremony that makes an ordinary breakfast feel laid rather than thrown together. The dish that earns its place at the table.

Product Description

Item Type: Pre-Loved

A butter dish that sits as easily on the breakfast table as on a dinner setting — the shell lifted off, butter kept cool in the glass beneath, the small ceremony of a laid table.

Silver plate worked into a scallop shell, with a clear glass insert that holds the butter and lifts out for washing. The plating carries a soft patina that suits the form. Compact at 13 × 13 cm. The shell originally closed on a sprung lid; the push-button mechanism at the back is no longer present, so the shell now rests over the glass as a lift-off cover rather than a latched one. No butter knife is included.

An unmarked piece of Italian silver-plate work from the 1980s, in the decorative shell tradition that runs through European tableware — valued for the form and the weight of the plating rather than a maker's stamp.

Key Features
  • Finish / Hardware: Silver plate · removable glass insert
  • Era: 1980s Italian production
  • Features: Shell form · lift-out glass butter liner · lift-off cover
  • Included: Shell cover and glass insert · no knife
Dimensions

13 × 13 cm

Care Instructions
  • Polish the silver plate with a soft cloth — never an abrasive
  • Lift out the glass insert to wash it separately in warm water
  • Dry both parts fully before reassembling to protect the plating
  • Keep away from prolonged damp, which accelerates tarnish on silver plate

Item Details:

A soft patina across the silver plate, in keeping with the age. The original push-button closure at the back is no longer present, so the shell rests over the glass as a lift-off cover. The glass insert is intact and the shell form is sound. No knife.
