Vintage Leonard Silver Plate Shell Dish with Amber Glass Insert
Vintage Leonard Silver Plate Shell Dish with Amber Glass Insert to use as a Jewelry Box, Trinket Dish, or Unique Office & Craft Room Storage
This vintage silver plated shell butter dish was made by Leonard Silver in Hong Kong. The nautical shell is hinged and opens up to reveal an amber glass insert. Use this vintage dish to store jewelry, trinkets, sewing notions or craft supplies.
I have chosen not to clean or polish this item. I love the beauty of the aged finish and patina and will leave it up to the buyer to clean and polish.
Shipped in an acid free archival bag.
