This stunning and sculptural antique decorative bowl was realized in England, circa 1900. It features a scalloped border with an abundance of stylized morning glory flowers at different stages of blooming. The floral forms are overlaid on top of one another, imbuing them with a wonderfully abstracted aspect. Additionally there are scrolling, wave-like forms in relief tracing the perimeter of the piece. There is a monogram reading "HLJ" hand-hammered scrolling font in the oval center of the piece. While this is a perfectly functional bowl- ideal for storing small valuables, candies or any number of other items- it is also an objet d'art in its own right that is ornate in its decoration, yet austere in form and inarguably beautiful. It would be a winning addition to any style of interior from traditional to contemporary. The piece is inscribed in the center "Sterling 6072 7 In" and is in very good vintage condition. It weighs 104 grams.
