As was the custom, the best British silver firms chose not to identify their designers as a matter of policy, so the author of this individual dish remains unknown.

In this work, the looping handles terminate in a heart shape with a twisting inside-out effect giving equal emphasis to its silhouette and its cut-out spaces. England, Europe
