Set of H. Béard Shell Dishes

These are 10 silver plated coquille dishes by H. Béard, a hotel silver maker. The firm was H. Béard of Montreux, Switzerland, founded in 1907, and its silver plated pieces were used in grand hotels and luxury palaces. Now they’re ready for a second life on your table, your dresser or your bathroom shelf.

Each dish is shaped like a scallop shell with a neat little tab to hold it by. Silver plated, signed on the back, and full of quiet glamour.

Use them for nibbles at aperitif time, a pat of butter at breakfast, or as a catchall for rings, earrings and keys. Scatter all three on a tray and you’ve got instant old world charm.
