AI-assisted summary

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 interior is vermeil (gold-plated), a typical characteristic of such pieces intended for serving sugar, chocolates or other delicacies.

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.

Seller's Story

Dear customer, our passion, knowledge and experience are watches (vintage). These watches are restored by our watchmakers and are fully verified to work well. Note that vintage mechanical watches can never be 100% accurate at the right time. A small daily change is normal. We are not responsible for import duties and/or other surcharges customary in your country on the importation of goods. The many detailed photos are part of the description and give you a good idea of the watch you are going to bid on. We cannot guarantee the water resistance of our watches, even if they are diving watches. You should never wear our watches in the shower, in the pool or at sea! We guarantee the proper functioning of the watch purchased! This means you get our guarantee that the watch works properly, we don't provide any paper for that. Automatic watches need wrist movement to function properly. If you don't move your wrist a lot, the automatic watch won't run at full power. This can be a problem, especially with older, larger automatics. Normally, the clock can also be started manually! Our shipping costs are based on having your batch packed, securing shipping and packaging materials. If you are unable or unwilling to accept these costs, please do not bid. Good luck with your bids.
