Topázio - Fruit bowl - .925 silver

Elegant contemporary fruit bowl made in Portugal, combining artistic crystal and high‑purity silver, produced by the prestigious house "Topázio". Crystal and Portuguese silver bowl, comprising a broad pinkish crystal bowl, richly decorated with acid-engraved floral branches and foliage. Set on an elegant base in Portuguese 925‑silver, lavishly chased with garlands of flowers, leaves and grape clusters. Marked with the official Portuguese assay mark and the silversmith’s mark of "Topázio". Silver weight: 1,556 grams. Dimensions: 19 × 28 cm. Technical commentary: The bowl features a delicate floral engraving, of classical inspiration, whose pink hue results from the coloration of the glass mass. The base, executed in silver, highlights the craftsmanship characteristic of "Topázio", one of the most reputable Portuguese jewellers. Although the silver weight is substantial, the piece’s value mainly lies in the combination of artistic crystal and the quality of the base’s execution, making it suitable for use or display. In good condition, with no cracks in the crystal and the silver preserving good shine, showing only normal signs of handling compatible with use. Being a piece signed by "Topázio", in 925‑silver and weighing over 1.5 kg, its value clearly surpasses that of the raw material, benefiting from the quality of execution, the decorative design and the prestige of Portuguese manufacture.
