Newton School brass dish

Description

A brass dish or charger with a repeating fish pattern made by the Newton School of Metal Workers from a design attributed to John Williams, circa 1900.

The Newton School design archive has a number of very similar designs which were all produced by John Williams. This particular piece is very well worked and made of a good gauge of brass. The pattern is slightly more ornate than others I have seen and the edge has a continuous punched decoration which was sometimes used by the School.
