    Description

    Fantastic Antique American Coin Silver Hand Chased Dome Lid to a Butter Dish
    Presented is a fantastic quality antique American coin silver domed lid, dating
    to around the 1850s-1860s. This was likely the lid to a butter dish or similar
    covered dish, but unfortunately the lid is all we have, though it could easily
    be used on a porcelain underplate or simple round silver dish. This piece is
    fabulously hand chased with intricate floral and foliate decoration, with
    trellis-work and a scroll enclosed cartouche. The cartouche is engraved with the
    name 'Rankin.'
    This piece is in excellent condition, with the caveat that we only have this
    top or lid. There are no splits, no dents, no cracks, no breaks, no monogram
    removals, and no repairs.
    This piece was likely hallmarked on the base portion which we do not have,
    but we have tested it with nitric acid and guarantee it to be coin/900 purity
    silver.
    This piece measures about 6 1/4 inches in diameter and about 3 1/2 inches
    tall.
    This piece weighs 235 grams or 8.3 regular ounces.
