Description :
Two Beautiful Sheffield Reproduction Piece This silver-plated fan-shaped relish dish is a Sheffield reproduction piece featuring the characteristic shell or fan design with radiating ribbed patterns popular during the Victorian era. Marked with “Sheffield Reproduction” and “1891,” this piece was manufactured as a later reproduction of the famous Sheffield plate style that originated in 18th-century England. The distinctive sunburst pattern and elegant fan shape made it ideal for serving relishes, pickles, and small appetizers in formal dining settings, where the radiating sections helped organize different types of foods. This type of decorative serving piece reflects the Victorian period’s emphasis on refined table presentation and the desire for elegant household items that mimicked more expensive original Sheffield plate, making formal dining accessible to the growing middle class. Measurements: Small Boat: 3"L x 2 1/2"W Wave Platter 10" around 1 1/2"H
