Silver Butter Pats (Set of 6)

While the butter pats may have a vintage feel, they serve a greater purpose. These dishes are not exclusive to a particular season and can even double as coasters. Butter pats, also referred to as butter chips or butter plates, were originally created to hold individual servings of butter. They were popularized during the Victorian era in formal dining settings. These delicate pieces were crafted with glass, porcelain, or silver-plated metal, showcasing the elegant and meticulous nature of the time. Not only did they add to the overall aesthetic, but they also complemented other silverware on the table. Italian silversmiths were especially renowned for their skill and design during this period. Today, these items are sought after for their historical significance and representation of a refined dining era. While they may show some signs of age, these butter pats are still a timeless collector's item. Please refer to the attached photos for further detail.
