Late 1900's Victorian style footed FORBES Quadruple Silver plate casserole baking dish with bright silverplate lid with oak leaves and berries. Retains the original silver plate finish on all three parts of this Victorian silver baking dish.
Originally, a bright high polished silver finish was applied to the outside footed base and to the decorative trim of the removable rim liner. The insides of the baking serving dish and other pieces are all polished silverplate in a mirrored finish.
The silverplate baking dish rim features very ornate oak leaves and berries with vines forming a decorative border. The oxidized decorative trim on the silverplate insert features scrolls and florals.
The two handles on the base of this quadruple silver plate baking dish are quite ornate and are attached to this footed serving dish with almost a flower motif. The silverplated handle on the top of this baking serving dish also features decorative scroll work, and the four feet of the base are Victorian in their ornamentation.
There is a moderate amount of silver plate loss on the lid as shown in the photos. Also, there is a spot of silverplate wear on the inside of the lid. The base of this Victorian silver plate casserole dish shows large areas of silverplate wear as one would expect from a well-loved antique. No dents, dings or dimples to note.
The entire quadruple silver plate baking serving dish sits entirely flat on its feet with no wobble. Overall, it's a very nice antique silver plate piece of holloware with many good years of use left.
The baking serving dish measures 12" from handle to handle, 9.25" in diameter, 7" high to the top of the handle and weighs 2 pounds 11 ounces. Touch marked on base with FORBES SILVER CO., QUADRUPLE, and the pattern number 385. You can read more about the history of the FORBES SILVER Company here.
