James Dixon \u0026amp; Sons of Sheffield made it, one of the great names in English plate, and it stands on four little paw feet with a domed, hinged lid and a lift at the front. The body is worked all over with scrolling foliate pattern that catches light from across a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | 6.5 in.

Light scratches and small surface marks consistent with use. The plating is intact to the eye in the photographs, with no bright base-metal breakthrough noted at the high points, though close inspection is always wise on plate. The hinged lid opens and closes smoothly and seats well when closed. Old scratch-engraved inventory notations are present to the underside alongside the maker's marks.
