Bowl & Cover - Enamelled cover with butterfly finial - Sheffield 1937 by Sydney Wilkinson - 145mm diameter; 100mm high; 400 g weight - Ref. No.: JO/8444
A fantastic silver Arts & Crafts bowl and cover by an eminent Sheffield based silversmith. The bowl has a very hefty weight and stands on an openwork, spreading cast foot. The most striking feature of the bowl is the circle of pastel enamels around the top of the cover - the pink, blue and greens representing the delicate colours of the fritillary silver butterfly that adorns the centre. Excellent condition throughout.
