Superb Large Twin Handled Bowl Birmingham 1897

A superb and very substantial, Victorian, large solid silver bowl. The bowl is beautifully designed with two Grecian style handles either side. The silver body of the bowl is highly polished silver with no engravings or embossing, just a stylish double band around the centre and at the top rim. The deep bowl sits on a splayed pedestal foot, which also features a double banded design around the base rim. Very clear hallmarks are visible on the side of the bowl for the Birmingham Assay Office with a date mark for 1897 and Lion Passant indicating sterling silver, with maker's marks for David & Maurice Davis. The underneath of the bowl is also stamped with ' D & M Davis, Silversmiths, Birmingham'.

A very heavy gauge silver bowl of generous proportions.

 

Condition: The bowl is in lovely antique condition. There are some minor holes on the handles, however, these look like casting holes rather than damage caused with age (please see image 10) and do not detract from the item.

 

Hallmarks and maker's marks: Birmingham, 1897 by D & M Davis.

 

Measurements: Height to top of handle: 13 cm approx.

Width at widest part across handles: 24 cm approx.
