A very rare and special piece of history is always a satisfying find!  This unique antique piece was made in the mid 1800's by Henry Wilkinson and Co., one of the first makers of Old Sheffield Plate, in Sheffield, England.  Along with the antique age of this piece is its fabulous uniqueness!  I cannot find anything like it!  Each of the three sections of the silver plated scalloped dish is decorated with a  hand crafted oak leaf which was made by hammering the design from the underside,  a technique known as repousse.  An applied twig branch handle is adorned with more oak leaves plus an acorn finial. Henry Wilkinson received a license for manufacturing "Old Sheffield Plate" in 1843.  This piece was sold in London before 1879 when the company became known as Henry Wilkinson Ltd.   Excellent condition and quality.  One of a kind! 10 x 11 x 5.75 tall.
