Amber Glass Ruffled Centrepiece Bowl with Silver Overlay

This elegant vintage bowl features stunning silver deposit work applied to the interior surface of rich amber or golden-yellow glass. With ruffled or 'handkerchief' style top rim and an ornate, flowing leaf and flower pattern.

This technique suggests the Art Nouveau era, the exterior glass features a thumbprint or dimple pattern in three rows around the perimeter from the base to the top. The thick silver top rim is also detailed with a dimpled pattern to the exterior. An ornately detailed centrepiece bowl. The silver deposit is in wonderful condition with minimal wear, there is no marking to the silver, possibly silver plated.

This is a beautiful and collectible piece that displays elegantly and catches the light beautifully.

In overall excellent vintage condition, some minor tarnish may be present consistent with age and one very small chip to base (underneath).
