Antique Widman's Bonbonier - Bowl - Germany 1920

Rare hand-blown and acid-etched glass bonbonnière by Christof Widman (Pforzheim). Standing on three twisted glass feet, with a finely worked 800 silver ornamental rim. This piece belongs to the master’s early, experimental phase, distinct from the later serial Hildesheimer Rose production. Bearing the “800 W” hallmark, one of Widman’s earliest punches (used c. 1919–1925), confirming it as an authentic early workshop creation. Exceptionally light in weight (170 g), the refined balance between thin glass and silver exemplifies the elegance of Widman’s material experiments. Dimensions: height 8.2 cm × diameter 13.2 cm Weight: 170 g Material: 800 silver and acid-etched glass Condition: excellent; light patina to silver, glass intact and flawless. Early handmade bonbonnière by Christof Widman, with 800 silver rim and rare “800 W” hallmark – a delicate, lightweight piece from the master’s formative years.
