Long Description
I was sold to me as an Art Nouveau Dessert or Berry Server. It is a divided dish and it has a decorated foliate handle with applied berries and delicate leaves. The sides of the bowl are fluted. The inside has some small spots and some light pitting at the bottom and the silver there is a bit more matt than shiny like the outside. At the time I bought it, I was told that one side held fresh berries and the other side would have a custard sauce or a stiff sweet whipped cream.
History
I purchased it at an estate sale about 20 years ago
