For sale is an antique Victorian silver plate on brass adjustable dish cross

motif connected to a central ring.
A dish cross was used in the 18th and 19th Century to place tureens or

crosses that exist today are usually worn and / or damaged beyond repair.

high (closed).
NOTE: THE BOWL PICTURED IS 9-3/4" IN DIAMETER, AND

.
Condition: very nice and usable for an item over 100 years old.  Hand cleaned
with
HANK'S SILVERPLATE RECIPE
(yes we sell that to - check our other listings),
adjusted the sliding mechanisms so all four feet slide smoothly along the square
bars that form the cross.  Works equally as well with a round or oval dish.
No maker's marks found and nothing engraved.
