LARGE CHINESE EXPORT SILVER PETAL DISH

A Chinese Export silver serving dish.

The dish has twelve petals each repousse and pierced worked with the chrysanthemum motif

The  chrysanthemum symbolises happiness, love, longevity, and joy.  It blooms through the frost 

This petal form is often found in small bon bon dishes but this large Chinese Export silver serving dish is exceptional

Fine work and fine condition
