Set of 4 Sterling Silver Traprain Dishes or Tastevins, Brook & Son, 1937

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.
