Dish - .800 silver

This type of silver bowl with the Repoussé technique and representations of putti was especially popular in late 19th century Germany and other European countries. The intricate craftsmanship depicts playful putti (edangelic children) in a Baroque composition, which was typical for the Victorian era and the Jugendstil. Such bowls were often used as table centerpieces or pieces of jewelry in wealthy households.
