Vintage Mexican Sterling Silver Serving Dish Floral Handle Candy, Bon Bon, Nuts*

A stunning piece of hand forged sterling Mexican holloware with all the grace of yesteryear, but with the clean lines of modern day. Featuring two identical sides perfect for holding nuts, candy or what have you in the form of two leaves with the tips curled under. But what really makes it special is the center handle that is a opening flower laid out in such a graceful way that you will want to look closely so that you don't miss a detail. The actual handle is shaped to look almost like a Scorpion tail. Very unique! Measures 10" wide and 4 5/8" at the widest point. Weighs 9 oz on my postal scale or about 250 grams. Hallmarked Sterling Mexico MSR which according to Bille Hogart book was assigned the Eagle 3. Has some light surface scratches, but in very nice vintage condition. Circa 1950's.
