AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid Neapolitan sugar bowl, or, given its size and shape, a small salt/legume dish, in Art Deco style. It is made of solid silver, with 800 fineness hallmarks and the maker's marks on the back of the bottom of the sugar bowl and on the back of the lid. Main features:
Style: The style is Art Deco, characterized by clean, geometric lines typical of the 1920s.
Material: solid silver 800
Function: Its size and the presence of the hinged lid with a false hole could indicate that it was used as a sugar shaker, but similar shapes are also found for small soup tureens or chafing dishes.
It could be used to serve sugar, sauces, small vegetables, or as a decorative centerpiece. Its value is mainly antique or utilitarian, considering its good condition and craftsmanship. The dimensions are: 167 g in weight, 9.5 cm in height, and 14.5 cm in width and depth. The sugar shaker will be carefully packaged, secured, and shipped with a tracking code.
