Greetings from Wyler Antiques!!  

We hope that everyone is enjoying the New Year!!  

In today's Announcement, we are going to be discussing the beauty of Bowls as they can create a very warm, elegant, and sophisticated look. Bowls have been made in various sizes and designs and are often used as centerpieces for a table as well as a decorative objects.  

We will be discussing the smallest bowls first but here are some facts that you may or may not know about Silver Bowls.   

1. Bowls are predominately round but can sometimes be oval or oblong.
2. The width of a bowl is generally greater than its height.
3. They often reside on small pedestal feet just to raise them up slightly.
4. Many Bowls were decorated with hand-chasing or engraving to reflect what they were used for e.g. flowers and fruit.

This very attractive Antique English Silver Small Bowl has wonderful detail work. Residing on a round pedestal base, this English Silver Bowl has two floral round cartouches. Above each cartouche, there is the Greek Key design which resonates around the bowl.
