Offered at auction is a small solid sterling silver dish that is in the style and form of ancient Greek or Roman silver. The form of this little dish is that of a libation cup or dish, sharing characteristics of a patera or phiale with that of a shallow kantharos. Such vessels, in ancient Rome or Greece , were used during a sacrificial ritual to dispense libations. The look and style of this little dish was obviously inspired by those ancient vessels. This dish is of British manufacture. It was made in Birmingham in 1909 by the firm of William Hair Haseler as indicted by its hallmarks. William Hair Haseler was a well known Arts and Crafts silver smith and was at one time in partnership with the famous Arts and Crafts firm Liberty & Co. He drew inspiration for his designs from many cultures and ages as did all Arts and Crafts craftsmen. This little silver dish was probably used by its Victorian owner to dispense a relish or mustard at the dinner table. Its form is sophisticated yet simple concepts that appealed to the Arts and Crafts movement. The dish measures approximatly 4 inches (103mm) wide including the handles and stands 1 inch (23mm) tall, not including itd handles. The dish weighs approximatly 1 3/4 oz troy (54.75 grams). This dish is in great condition with no repairs or damage, see picture to confirm this. Collectors of silver inspired by the Greco-Roman tradition or of the Arts and Crafts movement should both be interested in this little elegant piece
