Shiny Stuff

While hitting the thrift shops recently I came across this lovely scalloped pewter bowl. It's the perfect size for serving salad or fruit.


But for now it's cradling a little nest.


 Next I found a set of 8 silver napkin rings 
all bright and shiny.

 There was a second scalloped pewter bowl, much smaller. I think it would make a great soap dish.

And what is this? It took me a couple of tries to get it open. 

 The sides simply fold down,

 to make a charming silver pastry server.
All of these vintage silver and pewter pieces will be arriving at Merchant Square Antiques in time for our 
Spring sale this weekend! Hope you can come!

  1. Love all of your silver finds. They are fabulous. I have the same shell triple server. It was originally sold as a bon-bon dish. I guess that means any kind of desert. I use mine all the time, it is fabulous for anything. Great for finger sandwiches, as a realish tray, candies, and of course cookies or small cakes. How fun, yours is the only other one I've seen that is exactly like mine. Hugs, Marty
