Sheffield - Zuccheriera - Placcato argento - Acorn Finial Pseudo-Hallm

Vintage Sheffield Silver-Plated Lidded Bowl/Trinket/Jewelry Box with Acorn Finial on Three Feet – Pseudo-Hallmarks (Crown, Lion, a, B), England

Charming English silver-plated lidded bowl made in “Sheffield”, the famous centre of British metalware production (early to mid-20th century).

The piece has a graceful rounded body with a decorative engraved band near the base, a domed lid topped by a finely detailed “cast acorn finial”, and three elegant claw-and-ball style feet for stability and classic appeal.

It is clearly marked on the base with attractive “pseudo-hallmarks”: a “crown”, a “lion passant”, the lowercase letter “a”, and the letter “B” in a shield. These marks were commonly used on high-quality Sheffield silverplate to evoke the look and prestige of sterling silver hallmarks.
