Indonesian Silver Djokja/ Yogya 3-Legged Bowl with Floral Pattern

About the Item

Indonesian silver Yogya 3-legged bowl with floral pattern Marked with S800 On the edge a small scene of leaves and in the middle a flower in relief partly hammered raised on smooth 3 legs under the base Yogya is known that the silver may not be polished completely. The depth in the reliefs of Yogya is black, so it has a beautiful effect The measurements are 4.5 cm high and 20.5 cm diagonal The weight in total is 303 gram The manufacture of silverware known as Yogya silver finds its origin in the second quarter of the 20th century when a profound transformation was supported by the conjoined efforts of Dutch and Javanese promoters of decorative crafts. In the 1930s Java was part of the Dutch East Indies and the center of this production was in the Provincial capital Yogyakarta (Yogya) and in Kotagede, a small town about five kilometers southeast. The production of Yogya silver flourished after independence of Indonesia (1949) and continues in present days. It is supported by the demand of international tourism and is exported in foreign countries, especially Europe (the very popular jewelry type is the filigree). Yogya silver is manufactured in large series from basic designs, each object is individually handmade and any piece is never exactly equal to the other. The most appreciated by collectors are the items made between circa 1930 and 1970 crafted with the characteristic motifs of lotus flowers, peacocks, geometrical figures of Islamic taste, etc. There is no official registered mark for Yogya silver. Most pieces are marked with 800 (800/1000) often accompanied by letters identifying the maker. (This piece has no makers mark).
