Circa 1905 Solid Silver Large Rimmed Bowl Made by the Famous S. Kirk & Son Company.

1900 - 1920
Description

Circa 1905 impressive large American sterling silver bowl made by the famous S. Kirk & Son Company of Baltimore, Maryland. The company was founded by Samuel Kirk in the early part of the 19th century. He was descended from English silversmiths, and his own descendants continued the tradition.

Kirk and Son was known for its fine craftsmanship, and its silver graced the table of White House presidents. The company was combined with the Stieff company, another Baltimore family firm, in 1979, and continues to this day.

This bowl has a tapering edge rim with a thick moulded edge. The sides continue to taper to the flat bottom, having an attractive monogram to centre.

This bowl or dish can be used to serve fruit, bread, or whatever you wish.

It is marked S. Kirk and Son Co. 925/1000. This is exactly the same fineness as English sterling silver.

Size-9 5/8 inches diameter by 2.5 inches high

Weight-450 grams.

This impressive bowl, with good gauge, weight, and clean and classic style, is in very good condition having been professionally polished.

Considering the value of just the scrap weight of this bowl, this is a wonderful value, as silver prices continue to soar.

It will look lovely on the table, or make a great gift.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

S. Kirk & Son, based in Baltimore, was renowned for introducing Repousse metalwork to America and for producing high-grade sterling silver tableware throughout the early 1900s.

Bowls of this era were typically formed from 925 sterling silver, featuring turned or stepped rims and custom hand-engraved monograms in the basin.

Authentic pieces carry maker marks such as S. Kirk & Son stamped into the underside, accompanied by numeric purity marks like 925/1000 or STERLING.

A solid silver bowl functions as a focal point on a dining table, a key tray on an entryway console, or an accent piece on a sideboard top.

Regular dusting with a soft cloth and periodic application of non-abrasive silver polish prevents tarnish and preserves delicate surface engravings.
