Title: EPNS lidded butter/jam/something dish
Post by: Paul S. on August 03, 2010, 07:26:45 PM
It may well just be a 'dinky' butter dish - but does seem a bit small.   No hole in the metalwork for a spoon, so maybe not jam.  Marks on the metal are  EPNS and underneath A & Co B.  Largest diameter is 130mm/5.1/8"  -  and the central cavity is 25mm/12 deep.   Apart from the inside, the entire piece is thickly cased in clear - no marks on the glass - and the stylized boat etc. look almost Chinese/Japanese (bit of a 'junk').   All the silver coating has gone, so been well rubbed, and possible some reasonable age - I would hazard a guess pre 1945.      Probably bit of a lost cause, but I thought it looked a bit interesting, and if anyone wants to take a punt and have a guess, please feel free.  thanks for looking.
