Topázio - Fruit bowl - .925 silver

Elegant contemporary fruit bowl of Portuguese manufacture, combining artistic crystal and high-purity silver, produced by the prestigious house "Topázio". Fruit bowl in Portuguese crystal and silver, consisting of a wide pink-toned crystal bowl, richly decorated with acid-engraved floral branches and foliage. Set on an elegant base in Portuguese 925 sterling silver, heavily chiselled with garlands of flowers, leaves and bunches of grapes. Marked with official Portuguese assay marks and the jeweller’s mark of "Topázio". Silver weight: 1,556 grams. Dimensions: 19 × 28 cm. Technical note: The bowl features a delicate floral engraving, of classical inspiration, whose pink tonality results from the coloration of the glass mass. The base, made of silver, highlights the craftsmanship typical of "Topázio", one of the most reputable Portuguese jewellery houses. Although the silver is substantial in weight, the piece’s value lies mainly in the fusion between the artistic crystal and the quality of the base execution, making it suitable for both use and display. In good condition, with no damage to the crystal and with the silver retaining good shine, showing only normal signs of handling compatible with use. As a piece signed by "Topázio", in 925 silver and weighing over 1.5 kg, its value clearly exceeds that of the raw material, benefiting from the quality of execution, the decorative design and the prestige of Portuguese craftsmanship.
