This exquisite antique pewter dish showcases elegant Rococo-style detailing along its scalloped rim, indicative of 18th to early 19th-century European craftsmanship. The hallmark on the underside features a crowned fleur-de-lis, a symbol commonly associated with French and German pewterers, suggesting a likely origin in one of these regions. Pewter was a widely used material for tableware before the prevalence of silver-plated and porcelain pieces, valued for its durability and understated elegance. This piece has developed a rich patina over time, adding to its authentic antique character.
