Sterling butter dish Catalogue: Antiques: Decorative Art: Metals: Silver: Sterling: Pre 1910 item# 718907 (stock# 7814)
click for details		Gordon S. Converse and Co. 610.722.9004 $400.00
An especially attractive sterling dish, probably intended for butter, with a knife/spreader, all in the original handsome leather bound and silk lined presentation box. Since the pattern of the knife handle does not match the dish perfectly, and so this may be a substitute for the original. The box, which is in excellent condition, identifies "Kirk & Co. Art Jewelers" as the purveyor, although the maker's hallmark is not clear. RL*

An unusual, beautifully decorated small jardiniere whose under plate is 8 1/2" across (stands 5 1/4"). Apparently made to display that one small yet special spring flower. Highly decorated with flowers and luster gold gilt. On the back of the under plate is the stamp "HALGA DECOR MAIN" with the container additionally bearing the Limoges stamp. My guess is that it dates to about 1900.
