Thanks for Looking! This is a nice Item! This is a sliver plate butter dish from Rogers Smith & Co Hartford Conn. It measures approx 8 3/4" long and 6" wide. It is approx 5" tall. The butter dish has a vented tray for the butter that ice can go under. The creature on top might be a goat or a cow. It does have wear that shows it has been used and loved. I did polish it but it can use more. Please see pictures. Here is a link and text showing the mark for age reference.http://www.silvercollection.it/AMERICANSILVERPLATEMARKSQSDUE.html
