All the elegance of silverplate — without a single polishing cloth required.
Shelton Ware, a brand of Towle Silversmiths based in New York, produced this non-tarnish chrome-plated butter dish with a gadroon border and an intricate finial that looks every inch like silverplate but will never need polishing. The glass insert makes serving, cleanup, and storage genuinely practical. Clean with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth — no abrasives, no dishwasher. There is a minor dent on the lid (most visible from the underside) and a small spot where the plating has worn, both photographed clearly.
A sensible and handsome choice for everyday elegance, or a gift for someone who loves the look of silver without the upkeep.
