About the Item

This set of four sterling silver Traprain Dishes, or Tastevins, echoes a historic design unearthed from the Roman silver hoard at Traprain Law, Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1919. Each dish features an egg-shaped bowl set on a foot, with a handle culminating in a mythical creature or bird's head clutching a sphere. These pieces are not only functional but serve as a bridge to the past, mirroring the craftsmanship and artistic vision of a bygone era. Authenticated by the Edinburgh assay office with a hallmark from 1937, these dishes bear the maker's mark 'B&S' for Brook & Son, ensuring their provenance and quality. • Assay: .925 sterling silver • Period: Mid 20th Century • Date: 1937 • Maker: Brook & Son • Measurements: Length: approximately 11.8cm, Bowl width: 4.9cm, Height: 4.4cm • Weight: Combined weight of 197.8 grams Condition: The dishes are in good condition, displaying minor surface scratches and pitting typical for their age, which does not detract from their beauty or utility.
