Beautiful mirror silver finish 2-piece oval vegetable entree dish by Primrose Plate Silver with elegant simple lines and ornate handles. The matching silverplate cover doubles as a second serving dish when turned upside down - so it's like purchasing two service pieces for the price of one!
Silverplate oval entree dishes became popular from the 1770's onwards. Until the 1820's, most were oval or rectangular in shape. Earlier examples of silver vegetable or entree dishes were often shallower than those made during the Regency period and later.
This elegant silver plate oval vegetable dish measures 11-1/2" long, 8-3/4" wide, 3.25" high and weighs 1 pound, 8.5 ounces. Excellent condition with no dings, dents or silverplate loss. Very light surface rub marks on the top from storage. This silver vegetable entree dish has rarely, if ever, been used, and retains all of its original thickly applied silverplate.
The high silver polish finish lends itself perfectly to be monogrammed with your initials or family name.
The touchmark on the base with PRIMROSE PLATE, E.P. COPPER, B.M. MOUNTS and the pattern number "C64". This vintage silver plate footed vegetable entree dish was manufacturered by Birks & Mayors of Canada. You can read more about the history of Birks & Mayors from our Silver Manufacturers pages.
