Description
Continental silver suite of three sweetmeat dishes; comprising of one larger dish and two smaller identical dishes. These fine cast dishes feature a putto astride a dolphin on a shell, and carrying a horn. The upswept dolphin's tail supports a gilt interiored shell at the top to form the dish. Typical subjects of this period, which copied the styles of the early 18th century Rococo Naturalism fashion, which had Meissonnier and Paul de Lamerie as exponents.
