About the Item
A German Repousse Brass Alms Dish, 19th Century
Origin and Function:
These brass dishes were primarily made in Nuremberg, Germany, and were initially secular flatware used by the wealthy for dining or hand-washing.
Later Use:
In the later 17th century, as their popularity as everyday items declined, many were donated to churches and repurposed as collection plates, leading to the enduring name "alms dishes".
Decorative Elements:
The dish features a central boss (raised area) with a design, likely depicting a religious figure or symbol, and a broad rim with punched decorative borders, often including stylized foliage or inscriptions.
Historical Significance:
These dishes offer a glimpse into the material culture and changing social customs of medieval and early modern Europe, reflecting both practical use and symbolic display of wealth.
