Fascinating Fun Facts: • E.P. on Brass means electroplated silver over a brass base — a durable combination used in hotel- and fine-table service ware. • Folding shell dishes like this became popular in the mid-20th century for elegant seafood presentation, often chilled with ice beneath the removable glass liner. • The hinged shell design was both decorative and functional, protecting the contents until serving time.
