Superb Georgian Sterling silver gilded strawberry dish, fully hallmarked for 1783.

This is a beautiful and large silver gilt strawberry dish with scallopped edge and row of beading with the domed centre that has been superbly chased with a lady and gentleman seated and staring lovingly at each other amid woodland / trees and with two sheep and fields and a farmouse in the background. The scene is very reminiscent of a Boucher painting.

It is also heavy weighing 365 grams

The piece is in good condition with no dents or damage.
