Need Help Identifying this Sterling Silver box!

Post by worldcollectibles310 »

Hello

This is part two. I need help to Identify what is this Silver bowl? If anyone would be able to tell me some history on it will be helpful too. I am looking for helpful info: What year is this? What Country? What is the name of this bowl?

(admin edit - see Posting Requirements )

I look forward to your reply and thank you all for your info.

We are not given dimensions and it looks to me as if there is not a view of the whole item. If I am right in thinking that this is the ornate lid to a rather plainer bowl, not over-large, I would suggest that this is a powder bowl for a lady's dressing table. It would have been used to contain face powder and a powder puff. I am familiar with such pieces from the 1930s. I don't know enough about female make-up fashions to guess at how much earlier or later such pieces were also being made.

I can't add anything to the useful thread referenced by Dognose as far as maker/retailer is concerned.
