Sterling Silver Presentation Bowl - Art Deco - Antique George V (1933)

This exceptional, fine and impressive presentation antique silver bowl has a circular tapering form onto a stepped circular spreading foot.

The body of the impressive sterling silver Art Deco bowl is plain and unembellished, with an applied moulded border to the rim.

This exceptional piece of antique silverware is fitted with two fine and impressive Art Deco silver handles with elevated embossed mask decorated terminals.

The cylindrical portion of the knopped foot is ornamented with cast and applied mask motifs, reflecting the same design as that of the handle.

This antique silver bowl is fitted to the original circular Art Deco stained wood plinth, with the original hallmarked vacant silver plaque; the band may be engraved with a personal inscription if so desired.

The cup was crafted by the London silversmiths W Batty & Sons in 1933 and bears the retailer's mark 'Batty, Manchester' to the underside; the plinth is original to the cup and bears the hallmarks for London, 1940.
