Description from the seller
Crystal butter dish with silver mount – Netherlands, ca. 1880
An elegant crystal butter dish, dating from around 1880 and originating from the Netherlands, featuring a solid silver mount (.833). This object combines refined glassware with precious metal and reflects the rich table culture of the late 19th century.
The dish is made of clear crystal and features beautifully cut motifs, with geometric patterns that brilliantly refract light. The silver mount frames the glass in a stylish manner and provides a sturdy and luxurious finish.
Such butter dishes were part of the carefully set table service and used at formal meals. Today they are valued as decorative objects and collectibles within antique crystal and silverware.
