Magnificent Old Sheffield Plate Georgian Tureen

In the 18th and 19th centuries elaborate serving pieces were used in the dining rooms of wealthy households. Food would be brought from the kitchens by the staff and placed on buffet servers at the side of the room, a butler or footman would then serve the food from the serving pieces. These pieces would come in all manner of materials and styles including silver, silver plated and porcelain.

This is a fabulous old sheffield plated tureen, with scroll feet and elaborate handles, engraved with a family crest. 

Silver plating is in fabulous condition, some copper showing through.

Dimensions: 34cm long by 23cm wide and 25cm high.
