Description from the seller
Vintage Italian 800 Silver-Mounted Etched Lead Crystal Pedestal Compote Bowl – Tuscany Origin, Mid-20th Century
Vintage Italian decorative compote/centerpiece bowl in 800/1000 silver mount combined with heavy old lead crystal insert. Acquired in Tuscany, Italy; typical mid-20th century craftsmanship (likely 1940s–1970s), featuring elegant silver pedestal base with fine hand-etched floral decoration on the crystal.
Material: Silver mount in 800/1000 fineness (80% silver alloy, continental standard); heavy crystal bowl insert (thick, brilliant quality with characteristic ring and sparkle when tapped).
Hallmarks: Clear "800" stamped inside oval cartouche (standard Italian/European purity mark for 800 silver); additional maker's mark inside square cartouche on pedestal base (see close-up photos – typical simple workshop identifier from the era).
Design: Wide shallow lead crystal bowl with delicate etched floral motifs (vines, leaves, blooming flowers in white-silver frosting for light-catching effect); raised on graceful ribbed/stepped silver pedestal foot. The crystal insert is fitted/removable.
Dimensions: Diameter approx. 22 cm; height approx. 13 cm.
Total Weight: 904 grams (including crystal insert – silver mount estimated based).
Origin & Period: Tuscany; vintage mid-20th century with natural warm patina on silver.
Condition: Very good vintage condition overall. Light age-related patina and minor surface wear on silver consistent with age/use; crystal appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs (etchings crisp and well-preserved). Please examine all photos carefully for full assessment.
This is a charming, functional heirloom piece suitable as a fruit/flower centerpiece or display item, combining the luxury of solid 800 silver with the brilliance of old lead crystal.
The hallmarks confirm authenticity (incuse stamping, no signs of plating/fakes), and the Tuscan provenance adds regional appeal for collectors of European/Italian silver-mounted glass.
Shipping: Securely packaged with insurance
