An elegant Edwardian-era covered butter dish featuring a domed silverplate lid with a sculptural scroll handle and a scalloped silverplate base. Inside sits the original pressed glass liner, beautifully cut with radial detailing that catches the light.
This form was popular in England at the turn of the 20th century, designed to keep butter cool and presentable at the table. Today, it works just as well as a serving piece or as a refined decorative object on a sideboard or shelf.
