Presented here is an exquisite pair of antique serving dishes, a masterpiece of the early 20th century that will bring elegance and historical charm to your table. These bowls, skilfully crafted, are a shining example of the fine craftsmanship of the period.
The bowls are characterised by a two-part, square shape that embodies both style and substance in its gadrooned design. The aesthetically pleasing rim, adorned with a cord decoration, adds an extra dimension of sophistication that is pleasing to the eye and emphasises the beauty of the table setting.
Of particular note is the domed lid of each bowl, topped with an organic material handle that is not only practical but also a work of art in its own right. These handles give the bowls a unique touch and facilitate serving during elegant dinner parties or family gatherings.
An outstanding feature of these bowls is the exceptionally beautiful crest of a unicorn from British heraldry emblazoned on the lids. This crest, a symbol of purity and strength, gives the bowls a regal aura and makes them a real eye-catcher on any table.
These serving bowls are not only a practical utensil for the table, but also a piece of history. Their connection to the heraldry of: "Fictitious and Symbolic Creatures in Art" by John Vinycomb, a classic from 1906, emphasises their cultural and historical significance. They tell stories from times gone by and bring a piece of forgotten art back into the modern age.
The excellent condition of these bowls is testament to the care and pride with which they have been preserved over the decades. As part of a collection or as functional silverware, they offer a unique opportunity to revive the splendour and brilliance of bygone eras.
Overall, these silver-plated serving bowls from Oxford Silversmith & Co. NY embody an exquisite blend of art, history and craftsmanship that will enhance any table and provide guests with an unforgettable experience. They are not only eye-catching, but also a testament to the elegance and refined taste that characterised the early decades of the 20th century.
