Antique Burmese Silver Offering Bowl
Located in Point Richmond, CA
A SILVER OFFERING BOWL WITH SCENES FROM THE VIDHURA-PANDITA JATAKA, LOWER BURMA (MYANMAR), DATED 1901.
A hammered repoussé Buddhist beggar’s bowl form with high relief design depicting scenes from the Vidhura-Pandita Jataka on the upper row of cartouches and beneath neat rows of semicircular lappets each depicting various auspicious human and animal forms with scrolling acanthus leaf backgrounds. The overall concept is similar to the layered effect of a Burmese court costume. The circular etched design on the base is of Punnaka astride his magical horse mid-stride holding the white umbrella and Vidhura pleading behind. All surrounded by an inscription, translated as, "Mr Saw Marn's silver bowl. Year 1263 [1901 CE]".
Excellent condition.
11 3/4 in. (30 cm) diameter x 5 7/8 in. (15 cm) high.
38 troy oz., 2lbs. 10 oz. (1175 grams).
Provenance:
The Noble Silver Collection.
Bonhams New York, 24 March 2022, The Noble Silver Collection Treasures from the Burmese Silver Age, lot 942.
Published:
David Owens, Burmese Silver Art: Masterpieces Illuminating Buddhist, Hindu and Mythological Stories of Purpose and Wisdom, 2020, p. 76, no. S81, fig. 3.57.
Bonham’s Footnotes:
In the Vidhura-Pandita Jataka, the bodhisattva that will later become Gautama Buddha perfects the virtue of truthfulness (sacca), at once a keen perception of the true reality of things and an unwavering commitment to imparting this truth. Reborn as a renowned advisor to a virtuous king, the bodhisattva uses undivided speech throughout the story—even when it puts him in harm's way—thereby preventing disputes among rulers, offering amnesty, and ultimately saving the antagonists who initially conspired to kill him.
Burmese Silver Ceremonial Offering Bowls were produced in great numbers, the finely decorated ceremonial offering bowl is the quintessential Burmese silver artwork...

An Authentic British-Colonial Bookcase Made From Teakwood
Located in Chicago, IL
This solid teak bookcase was made around 1900 AD in Rangoon, Burma in the classic British style. We call these impressive pieces by different names; "British Colonial" , "Anglo-Indian" or even "British Raj" but they all refer to the superb solid wood furniture that was made from the early 1800's's to the 1960's in the former British colonies in Asia.
During the British Empire in India and Burma (also known as the British Raj) much furniture was made according to British designs, substituting far superior native hardwoods like teak and rosewood for European ones. Teak had the added benefit of repelling insects and moisture, so it was very good for storage cabinets. For protection of books and documents, it was ideal as the subtle teak scent drove away moths as well as termites.
After independence, many bookcases became mercantile cabinets, ideal for displaying imported boxed goods and keeping the packaging free of dust.
This piece has been lovingly restored. All drawers and doors operate smoothly and handles have been cleaned. The piece has been re-stained and waxed and is ready for many more years of use. The piece has several distinctive features; first, the style is British but the construction technique is actually more Chinese, which is extraordinary. Most likely, the workshop that made it had access to immigrant Chinese carpenters. The mortise-and-tenon joinery is exquisite. Second, the mullions dividing the glass panes are sharply chiseled, giving the cabinet a more refined appearance than we expect from colonial pieces. Finally, the flush brass campaign pulls on the lower drawers add zest and style. Like most colonial bookcases, it comes in two easily separable parts.
The piece is exceptionally well-proportioned and blends easily with modern decor. Just add old books, rare artifacts...
