A wonderful old victorian silver plate meat cloche/dome, with a crest of a winged snake with the Latin motto "nunquam non paratus" which is the motto of the Johnstone Clan, really interesting and rare piece, has a good strong scrolled handle and is hallmarked to the inside for Hukin & Heath Silversmiths. Has the odd bump comensurate with age, what a lovely gift for the Xmas table, perfectly usable.
