I have seen hundreds of these plated covered dishes but still check each one in hopes a Sterling one will show up.
Btw the price tag was moved for this picture
Beachkid found a covered dish also made of sterling. Indeed they a rare. I can't imagine how many covered dishes I've seen over the years. So far the only I've ever seen made of pure sterling is yours and beachkids. Nice find on a chunk of silver.
You and me both, friend. I have yet to find one, although I have been excessively torn over whether or not to purchase more than one orphaned lid that I've stumbled across. Sometimes they look so right but IME sterling items with a substantial lid like this would also be marked somewhere on the lid.
Lol thank you for including that snippet of information because 1. it rustles my jimmies for some reason when people obviously miss great big marks like that when pricing, even if it is in my favor, but mostly 2. I just can't believe a thrift store employee would miss such a great opportunity to put a price tag immediately on top of the relevant marks on an item as if it were a sticker target and not a source of info someone might want to see.
