Description: Antique or Vintage (I am not sure)Quadruple Silverplate and Hard White Metal Domed Butter DishIncluded: Lid, Ice Divider and Silverplate Butter Knife Measures: 7" round and 4 1/2" tall Marked: Middletown Plate Company, Quadruple Plate, Hard White Metal 478The silverplate butter knife is Rockford Rosemary 1906 pattern. The plate where the butter sits shows some marks from use. The top of the dome is engraved. Too fancy for me, but could be a B (for butter?), or it could be a EB. You be the judge. The knife is also engraved but I cannot figure out what letter it is. The parts that hold the butter knife are intact and secure. This piece is heavy with all its parts. Trivia about butter: In the past butter was made or sold in one-pound round shapes, normally 4" in diameter. Round butter dishes or tubs held the whole piece. Some tubs also had racks that were inserted in the bottom of the dish while ice was placed below them and some were made with slots to hold a butter spreader. Once butter was made by machine the shape changed to sticks. This is the shape we are familiar with today. Butter dishes changed to accommodate the shape and became long and narrow. Did you know butter has been around for 9000 years? As a seller I do my best to represent the product I am selling. I take numerous pictures and make them as clear as possible. To write a great description with accurate information, I research the item the best I can. With that in mind please remember that these items are vintage or antique which means they are 20 to 100+ years old. They have been around a long time and usually not sitting in a cupboard untouched. Do expect some wear and tear. If you want something brand new right out of a mold then you will need to shop elsewhere. I package very well. Insurance included in shipping.
