AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Circular tripodal bowl in solid silver with a continuously festooned edge. The interior bottom is entirely adorned with a guilloché pattern (honeycomb or tight wicker motif) mechanically worked, encircled by concentric engraved channels and a row of regularly spaced small raised knobs.
The bowl rests on three openwork feet with a decoration of volutes, scrolls and leafy tendrils.
Two repoussé/engraved marks on the bottom of the bowl: a calligraphic tughra of the artisan, signature of the silversmith or workshop in Arabic/Ottoman characters, and a secondary control mark (also present on each foot) of round shape, presumably 800 fineness.
Tested positive with a touchstone.
These marks are characteristic of late Ottoman Empire silverware or post-Ottoman Turkey, dating from the late 19th century to the first quarter of the 20th century.

General condition: good overall condition: rim of the neck deformed, age and use wear, old patina, darkened in places, a few stains and embedded traces, scratches and micro-scratches visible.
