AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ornate Silver Ring Dish with Shell Motif
Portugal assay mark (1938-1984), 833/000, and same date marker's mark.
The piece has a beautifully shaped and scalloped border, with embossed and chased decoration radiating across the surface. At the upper section, ornamental scrollwork complements the shell motif, creating a particularly refined and decorative appearance.
A smaller raised scallop-shell holder is positioned in the centre, intended for holding or displaying rings. The combination of the sculptural form and finely worked silver makes this an attractive example of decorative silverware and a charming accessory for a dressing table or jewellery collection.
