{"product_id":"small-antique-silver-bowl-w-glass-lid","title":"Small Antique Silver Bowl w\/ Glass Lid","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFrom the Paris apartment of Patricia and Walter Wells comes this small silver-plate bowl, engraved on its side with a dedication dated 1927 — almost certainly a christening or birth gift, the kind of object a French family would commission to mark a new arrival with something lasting and beautiful.  Compact and gently rounded, the bowl has a clean rolled rim and a slightly tapered form that sits comfortably in the hand. The interior base is engraved with a starburst or compass-point motif — eight radiating lines meeting at the centre — a decorative detail characteristic of French silversmithing of the period. Nearly a century of age and handling has mellowed the silver plate to a warm, slightly golden tone.  The engraved date gives it a story; the craftsmanship gives it staying power. It works beautifully on a dressing table holding rings and small jewellery, on a desk as a catch-all, or at a table setting as a salt cellar or condiment dish.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e 1½\" x 3½\" diameter    \u003cbr\u003e 4cm x 9cm diameter  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54403190227282,"sku":"25619","price":322.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC04328_ffc96d56-9fa3-4612-a8bd-a865372e5b4e.jpg?v=1787827494","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/small-antique-silver-bowl-w-glass-lid","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
