The bases can be filled with hot water to keep food warm. The covers, adorned with circular reeded finials styled as crossed twigs, are reversible thanks to the removable finial and can be used as additional serving dishes, with the upper gadrooning acting as a stand.
The heraldic elements on these dishes are likely a variant of the Calverly arms, featuring an escutcheon surrounded by an orle of owls—a motif associated with the Calverly family, who also use an owl crest.
The significance of these entrée dishes is further elevated by the craftsmanship of Paul Storr, the master silversmith renowned for his unparalleled artistry in the early 19th century. Storr's work was the epitome of luxury and sophistication, frequently sought after by royalty and the aristocracy. Possessing an item by Storr was not only a testament to one's wealth but also a reflection of refined taste and high social standing. These dishes were also part of the iconic Red McCombs collection, which has been highly publicized and studied.
