A very rare pair of silver strawberry leaf dishes or bowls by Robert Gainsforth with significant provenance. The dishes are set on raised column feet, realistically modelled as leaves with appliqué frogs beneath. These bowls were originally supplied to William Preston Mayor of Liverpool, England of Ellel Grange North Lancashire and then by descent to Margaret Sandeman, nee Preston and then her son.

These were sold at Christies at the sale of the contents of Ellel Grange in 1979.
