A pair of small footed plates of the same design, which appear to be sold dishes.
The edges are beautifully decorated with relief carvings, and the inside is still gold plated.
It is made from thick silver and feels heavier than it looks.

We hope that this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one!
