This is a Large Victorian-era double preserve dish featuring cranberry glass bowls with an unusual style of ruffled edge.
Brilliant shade of rich deep cranberry is complimented by the unusually large silver plated stand. Exceptional quality glass with a heavy feel and polished postal, again an indicator of quality, most likely originating from the world famous and pioneering glass manufacturing region of Stoubridge in the West Midlands, UK.
You would use this double preserve dish to elegant serve condiments, sweets, or small accompaniments during a meal or afternoon tea.
The glass bowls are held by a silver-plated stand with a central carrying handle.
