Rectangular silver plated serving dish. Size is 11 x 7. It has a handle in the middle that swivels back and forth. In the center there is a rectangle with a woman who is dancing with a basket of some sort over her head. Surrounding that on the edges of the dish is a ornate flower pattern with two faces in the middle of the patterns. A womans on the short sides and a mans on the long sides. They look like a king and queen I dont' know? The handle in the middle is attached by silver plated rivets in ornate mounts. The U shaped handle has two thin textured rails connected at intervals with short diagonal braces of the same texture, also round flowers alternating with the braces. Not perfect, few pits some bad tarnish. Have not cleaned at all just found today.
