The Dish is modelled in the scallop shell form, with wide body, and stands on two winkle feet.  The carrying handle is beautifully decorated with a border of gadrooning interspersed with scrolls and a Rococo raying shell at the top.  The shell is fully marked on the reverse and also displays a ring, presumably for hanging it up in the silver safe when not in use.  The handle is also engraved with a lozenge, containing two script initials, all surrounded by a shell and scroll cartouche.

Length: 6.25 inches.

Width: 4.9 inches.
