About the Item

Black, Starr & Frost sterling silver compote tazza or footed bowl, from the late 19th or early 20th century, in Art Nouveau style, with a pierced rim showcasing putti and stylized natural motifs. It measures 11 1/4'' in diameter (5 3/4'' excluding the rim) by 4'' in height, weighs 29.3 troy ounces, and bears hallmarks and a monogram as shown. The oldest continuously operating jewelry firm in the United States, Black, Starr & Frost also produced objects in silver. Already in 1860, the company received an order for more than $12,000 of jewelry and silverware from Edward, Prince of Wales. In 1929, Black, Starr & Frost merged with Gorham Corporation, and was renamed Black, Starr, Frost-Gorham. Some of their pieces are present in the permanent collection of the New York Historical Society. Please feel free to ask us any questions, and please see our other listings. NO published price will beat ours. We hand polish all items before shipping them out, but if there is interest for a professional polishing and/or engraving removal, we can take care of that for an additional charge and with delayed shipping.
