Large Ornate Silver-Plated Serving Dish with Detachable Handle – Rococo Revival – Early 20th Century

A richly decorated, heavy silver-plated serving dish in the Rococo Revival style, featuring bold scrollwork, floral motifs and a sculptural detachable handle. The elegant, undulating rim and highly detailed finial make this a striking centrepiece for a table or sideboard. The dish consists of three parts: base, lid and removable handle.
The handle attaches securely with a twist-lock mechanism.

The interior shows clear signs of age and significant wear to the silver plate, exposing the underlying copper in various areas, particularly inside the dish and on raised decorative sections. These traces of use give the piece an authentic antique character. Despite the wear, the item remains structurally sound and fully decorative, with no major dents. Please study all photos carefully as they form part of the description.

The piece shows noticeable plate loss, surface scratches and spotting consistent with age and use. Copper is visible in several places. The detachable handle functions correctly, and the dish retains its ornate shape without structural damage.
