It was meant to hold the spent tea leaves from a pot of tea at a formal Victorian setting. The slop has chaste floral designs on the body and a repousse band above with cameos, birds, and flowers.   The mark on the center of the base reads WILCOX SILVER PLATE Co. with an emblem of crossed hammers. There is the wording QUADRUPLE PLATE above this mark and the production number of 150.   MEASUREMENTS   5 ½” (14.0 cm) diameter x 5 ¼” (13.3 cm) tall.
