A Dish Cover is a domed cover designed to retain heat and protect prepared food before serving. Antique dish covers were commonly produced in silver, silver plate, Sheffield plate and copper, ranging from simple polished examples to richly engraved or crested designs. Widely used in Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian dining, they remain sought after as examples of fine tableware and domestic silver. *Related Terms*\ Dining Service, Food Dome, Sheffield Plate, Silver, Tableware, Tureen.
