A large George VI solid silver Monteith bowl dates to 1937, manufactured in Birmingham by Alexander Clarke & Co. The sterling silver piece exhibits a polished silver colour throughout its impressive construction, presenting with full hallmarks struck directly onto the surface. The design incorporates a distinctive notched scalloped rim, panelled sides, and small drop ring handles attached to the sides, resting upon a substantial raised circular pedestal base. Measuring 29 x 14 cm, this impressive presentation bowl makes a striking centerpiece for a dining table or sideboard within an English Country House setting. It functions practically as a decorative vessel or container for modern home displays, bringing traditional silver tableware heritage directly into contemporary interior spaces without requiring any supplementary alteration or restoration.

FAQs

A Monteith bowl is a specialised vessel, traditionally featuring a scalloped or notched rim designed to hold glass stems suspended in ice water to chill them before serving.

Monteith bowls are predominantly crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate, prized for thermal conductivity, durability, and a polished metallic lustre.

Authentic British sterling silver features a distinct set of hallmarks stamped into the surface, including the lion passant, a city assay mark, a date letter, and makers initials.

A silver Monteith bowl functions effectively as a dining table centrepiece or sideboard display, serving as a floral arrangement vessel, punch bowl, or standalone decorative accent.

Maintain silver by cleaning periodically with a specialized, non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth, storing the item in anti-tarnish cloth covers to prevent oxidisation.
