Italian Silverplate Lidded Butter Dish

A well-made vintage lidded butter dish in quadruple-plated silverplate, stamped Florence on the base — a mark associated with quality Italian silverplate production. The generous plating has aged gracefully, with the kind of soft patina that polishes up beautifully or wears well as-is. Use for holding a small candle that you can put the lid over after use or fancy up your next dinner party as you pass a condiment, butter, or personal dessert for one.
