Fascinating circular centerpiece cup (also usable as a fruit bowl or basket) entirely made of solid 800 silver. The piece is adorned along the rim with broad sections of geometric fretwork alternating with polished fields, finished on the outer edge by a rich molded border with volutes and acanthus motifs of exquisitely Baroque taste. The structure rests firmly on three fused, shaped feet attached to the base. An elegant decorative piece, ideal for collectors or lovers of antique silverware.
