Pair Silver Plate Rectangular Serving Dishes for Mints

A lovely Pair of Antique Silverplate Footed Mint Bowls, beautifully crafted in a refined late Victorian style. Each bowl features a distinctive rectangular, gently flared form resting on four finely cast decorative feet—an elegant silhouette typical of quality 19th-century American or English silverplate workshops. These early ones were later copied by many silver makers including Meriden, with different variations of the elegant little feet, and sold as nut bowls when serving nuts to guests was all the trend.

These are early, and unmarked but clearly made with craftsmanship and attention to detail, these bowls offer a pleasing weight and a softly gleaming finish. Perfect for serving mints, nuts, olives, or small sweets, or even as master salt cellars. They also make charming decorative accents on your desk or vanity. These have appropriate aging one has slightly darkening in two inside corners as shown.bTheir timeless form allows them to mix seamlessly with both antique and modern table settings, adding a touch of Victorian grace to any occasion. Sold as a pair.
