Experience the elegance of a bygone era with this stunning, large silver-plated bowl with handle, a true masterpiece of the late 19th century. Made around 1870/80, this exquisite bowl is a testament to the master craftsmanship and artistic skill of its time.
The bowl presents itself in an extraordinary design, characterised by a rich vine leaf and grape decoration that not only pleases the eye, but also touches the senses. The multi-part, wavy and ascending godronised base forms the basis for the protruding, openwork wall, which runs in multi-part waves and is decorated with filigree grape and leaf motifs. The wall was additionally chiselled on the inside and outside to give the piece an even more detailed and finer finish.
A delicately decorated folding handle rounds off the overall look of this handled bowl and emphasises its functionality as well as its aesthetic appeal. Despite the lack of a maker's mark, the quality and finish of this piece speaks for itself and tells of the craftsmanship and artistic expression of a bygone era.
The bowl is in very good condition, with the contemporary patina adding depth to the decoration and an authentic charm that emphasises the historical heritage of this piece. This magnificent piece is not only a decorative highlight for any collection or interior design, but also a testimony to the refined silversmith's art of the 19th century.
