What a beautiful Victorian era piece!

It would like extremely fine on any table setting - especially yours!

This is a 19th century silver plated bun warmer (or muffins if you shoul so choose). It has a curved and fluted clamshell shape. Even the outer top center of the clamshell is chased with a brilliant-cut design. The round handles are a floral garland on one side, plain on the other. The clamshell mechanism opens to a beautiful, pierced and lacy looking, scalloped edge platform.

The legs are hoof-shaped. The trim around the top handle includes griffins.

Could use a better polishing job - we gave it a light hand-polish but lots left for you to delight in cleaning! (part of the joy of owning silver and silver plated items).

Excellent condition. Size closed is 10 1/2" x 8" x 5 1/2". Fully opened it is 13".

No maker's marks to be found, but impressed numbers do appear on a few areas.
