About the Item
Hallmarked in London in 1992, this sterling silver bowl is the work of British artist-silversmith Bryan Laurence Illsley, known for his sculptural approach to functional forms. The piece is circular with a broad, flattened rim and a hammered finish, raised on four flaring conical legs joined by a cruciform base.
The design balances geometric rigour with a handmade sensibility. The textured surface and visible hammer marks lend it a tactile presence, while the architectural support structure suggests influences from both Brutalism and late modernism. The bowl stands 2 inches high and measures 6.25 inches in diameter, with a silver weight of 7.54 troy ounces.
Illsley, born in 1937, is recognised for his contributions to British contemporary craft, often blurring the line between decorative art and sculpture. This piece sits comfortably in that tradition—offering both utility and artistic expression.
An ideal acquisition for collectors of modern British silver, or those with an interest in post-war design objects made with sculptural intent.
