This \u003cstrong\u003eSturges \u0026amp; Bladon silver plated serving dish\u003c\/strong\u003e dates back to around 1890 — yes, the Victorian era, when people dressed for dinner and took their tableware very, very seriously. Unlike you, probably.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSturges \u0026amp; Bladon were a well-regarded Birmingham silversmith firm, and this piece carries their maker's marks on the base to prove it's the real deal. Not a knockoff. Not a \"vintage-inspired\" reproduction. The actual thing, with actual history baked in. Your IKEA salad bowl is sweating nervously right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scalloped edge with ornate rococo-style detailing is the kind of craftsmanship that makes modern mass-produced stuff look embarrassing. It's oval, it's elegant, and it still shines like it just came out of the silversmith's workshop — because someone clearly took good care of it over the past 135 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32.5 x 24 x 3.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 380 grams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver plated\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sturges \u0026amp; Bladon — hallmarked\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e circa 1890\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good for its age — light surface scratches consistent with 135 years of dignified service\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it to serve cheese, fruit, bread, or just leave it on the sideboard looking impossibly fancy.
