This beautiful vintage Egyptian dish is crafted in 90% coin silver and decorated with detailed hand-engraved arabesque scrollwork. It features a shallow circular form with a stepped rim and petal-shaped edge, creating an elegant and traditional silhouette. The intricate engraving, composed of flowing foliage and scrolling designs, is finely executed and framed by a polished border that enhances its decorative appeal.
The reverse of the dish bears clear hallmarks:
- Egyptian 900 silver standard (with lotus flower)
- Cairo assay office mark
- Date code ج (jeem) for circa 1945–1946
It is perfect for use as a small serving tray, vide poche, trinket dish, or decorative accessory for collectors of Islamic art and vintage silverware.
