magnificent antique english revolving breakfast dish by elkington 1871

Description

One of the most special Breakfast dishes I have come across in some time, we only ever purchase them when they are particularly special, this one by the creme de la creme of English makers, Elkington and Co.
The dish stands on four decorative legs terminating with a very regal ball and claw foot, leading up to a Lion's head.
When the knob at the front is pushed back the dome revolves to reveal the two original shallow trays. These are perfect on a buffet to serve either hot (with hot water beneath) or cold (with crushed ice below) dishes; a very impressive addition to any occasion.
The underside is marked for the top-notch Elkington and Co. Being Elkington allows us to date it accurately from the date letter for the year 1871.
A beautiful dish in excellent condition, measuring 10 1/2" x 7 3/4" x 7" tall.
