We are delighted to offer this intricate Victorian solid silver small dish/pin tray with the marks of Taylor & Perry, Birmingham 1843. Despite its dainty and compact size, this dish is all but plain and simple and a fine example of 'castle top' silverware.

Due to this dish's compact size and raised edge, aside from a pin tray, it would make for a splendid jewellery bedside tray...
