Antique Individual Butter Dishes with Floral Repoussé Border – Set of 5 (c. 1890–1915)

Set of five antique silverplate butter pat dishes with the most beautiful floral repoussé borders and classic rope twist edging. Each one is square with softly rounded corners and a shallow center well, originally designed to hold an individual serving of butter at each place setting — a detail from formal Victorian and early Edwardian dining (circa 1890–1915) that we rarely see used today. The centers are monogrammed, adding to their history and charm. The measure approximately the traditional 3 inches across typical of butter pats. silverplate
