Description from the seller
Elegant centerpiece with a Portuguese 833‰ silver lid, circular in shape, richly decorated with raised motifs of flowers and foliage, revealing the quality and care of traditional Portuguese silversmithing.
The base features the Eagle contrast (1938–1984) for 833‰ silver, while the lid bears the Boar contrast (1887–1937), likewise for 833‰ silver, indicating that it is a lid adapted from an older piece, perfectly integrated into the set.

The decoration, executed by hand, presents flowers, roses and foliage in relief with excellent definition, giving it an elegant and timeless appearance.
It is in very good overall condition, showing only slight signs of use compatible with the piece’s age. Please carefully consult the photographs, which are an integral part of the description.
