Antiique Silver plated shell serving hinged dish

This is a vintage silver-plated clam shell butter dish with a glass insert. These dishes often date to the late 19th or early 20th century. The silver plate exterior houses a removable clear or frosted glass dish. They can be used for serving butter or caviar, or even as a trinket box, soap dish! The design is a classic example of coastal or Victorian-era homeware decor. English EPNS Shell Server stamped. #silver #vintage #vintage #homeware #antique #collectable
