Victorian Silver Revolving Tureen c1860-1880
History & Context The Revolving Tureen represented one article that enjoyed far more popularity in plate than in solid silver. It's extreme weight in solid silver made it costly and impractical to use for convenient serving. Furthermore, when hot foods were placed in solid silver tureens, the silver quickly absorbed the heat and hence, made it extremely difficult for Servants to handle. we see for the first time the preference for Victorian plate over solid silver for practical reasons rather than for purposes of economy. Revolving Victorian silver tureens and entree dishes enjoyed a long span of production that started about 1780 and, even at present, are among the leading articles found in formal breakfast, lunch & dinner settings.
