This elegant vintage silverplate dish is modeled in the form of a classical scallop shell, a motif long associated with abundance, hospitality, and pilgrimage in European decorative arts. The softly fluted bowl is paired with an extended tab engraved with a heraldic winged horse (Pegasus) holding a flag, lending the piece a distinctly old-world, continental character.
Likely mid-20th century in origin, this dish was produced in silverplate rather than sterling, making it both decorative and practical. It is ideal for use as a catchall, bonbon dish, salt cellar, soap dish, or as a refined accent on a bar cart, vanity, or dining table. The sculptural shell form reflects light beautifully and adds a timeless, collected feel to both traditional and eclectic interiors
