Vintage Pewter Trinket Dish with Reeded Rim

A small pewter trinket dish with a fine reeded rim and a stepped well, the kind of plain, honest metalware that gets used every day and never asks for attention. It holds rings, cufflinks, coins, or paper clips on a desk or nightstand, and works just as well as a coaster under a glass. Sold individually, so you can take one or build your own set.

[condition]

Good vintage condition. The surface shows light scuffing and scattered fine scratches from use, and a soft, even patina consistent with age, most visible in the well. Some darkening in the recesses where tarnish has settled. No dents, no splits, no losses. The reeded rim is crisp. There are no hallmarks or maker's marks. Sold as a decorative piece.
