AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid vintage raised cup/pedestal bowl with two handles, finely crafted in silver-plated metal.

The object stands out for its rich Baroque / neorenaissance decoration:
• Hand-hammered outer band with a grapevine motif and clusters of grapes
• Upper rim pierced and shaped with floral motifs and scrolls
• Elegantly chased client-like serpentine handles (scroll handles)
• Pedestal base with a blue velvet bottom to protect furniture

A very dramatic piece, ideal as a centerpiece, a high-end valet tray, a fruit stand, or a display for confetti/bonbons.

Era: Mid-20th century, around the 1960s-1970s

Material: Silver-plated metal. Not stamped 800/925 silver; it is heavy silvering over a metal base

Condition:
In vintage good condition. Shows normal patina and oxidation due to age, visible in the photos, which attest to authenticity and can be easily polished to the buyer’s preference. No significant dents, solid and stable structure. The velvet under the base is intact.

A decorative piece with a strong visual impact, combining elegance and craftsmanship.
