Large Crystal and Sterling Silver Bowl, Late 19th Century

About the Item

This exquisite French bowl combines the clarity and brilliance of cut crystal with the timeless elegance of sterling silver. Crafted in France, likely in the late 19th or early 20th century, the bowl features a fluted crystal body with beautifully faceted vertical cuts that catch and reflect the light with remarkable radiance. The crystal is mounted in finely worked sterling silver, hallmarked with the French Minerva mark, guaranteeing the use of solid silver (.950 or .800 purity). This official French assay mark is a clear indicator of quality and authenticity. Additionally, the silversmith’s hallmark — a diamond-shaped stamp with the initials “PM” — identifies the maker, adding historical depth to the piece. The silver base and rim are adorned with a refined beaded pattern, echoing neoclassical design elements typical of the Louis XVI revival period. This piece would make an exceptional centerpiece or fruit bowl, ideal for a sophisticated dining setting or a well-appointed sideboard. Both functional and decorative, this piece is a fine example of French craftsmanship and would be a cherished addition to any collection of antique silver or French crystal tableware.
