You are looking for specific references to a St. George/Dragon used as a
table decoration pre-1600, right? I'm not sure if you will find a
reference to that specific item, but there are certainly references to
other non-food items used on dining tables which might be used as
documentation for other items such as castles, trees holding edible
fruits, fire-breathing animals...
Are you looking to document items made of something other than food?
Or, just items made of food?
