A late 19th-century English silverplate butter dome by G.R. Collis & Co. of London, delicately engraved and finished with a sculptural cow finial—a charming nod to its original purpose. Once a staple of refined European dining, pieces like this were used to serve butter at the table with both elegance and intention.
