    This is an offering of a
    LARGE 12.5 INCH DIAMETER VINTAGE/ANTIQUE MADE IN CHILE .900 FINE SILVER (COIN SILVER) FRUIT OR BREAD PLATTER
    Measures about 13" diameter from lobe to lobe; weighs about 900 grams.   Honestly don't know if there was a single intention for this plate/platter, but it is big and for usage your guess is as good as mine :-)  It features a nice ribbed edge and the dangling handles have a stylized animal component and; as you see, the attachments on the side of plate are the same animal - duck, bird?  The 6" ruler in the image will give some idea of scale.  The piece is well marked and it may actually date from Spanish colonial times, but that is just a guess, I don't know.
    This is from an estate I purchased when I had my bricks and mortar store, closed 21 years ago.  This was solid black and I thought it was silver plate and it's been sitting in my storage unit for all that time.  But I looked closer and realized it's true beauty.  I lightly applied some tarnex on it in order to photographic it.  The black spots will all disappear when YOU polish it (not me :)  A quick note for the scavengers: SILVER MARKET, AT THE TIME OF THIS POSTING, is increasing rapidly.  I will not be selling this at or for less than the current component silver value.  But I will consider good faith offers.
