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*
