19th c. Sterling Silver Porcelain Serving Bowl or Corbeil with Japonesque Cranes Painted by Marcadet
$280.00
A French lattice work porcelain bowl (Compotier Sévres monté sur socle argent, XIXème) silver set, and with Japonesque motifs and cranes. On a blue ground, three cranes circle amongst cherries and gilt accents. Porcelain is fine white, and has been set within a 950 sterling silver foot. Silver is hallmarked with French marks, 1st standard mark etc..
I suspect that the bowl's original foot was damaged and that it was repaired with the added silver foot. This was probably done in France, long ago by a tinker. It makes for a beautiful marriage and is an unusual example of human ingenuity to preserve the beautiful.
Dimensions: 3.5" x 10.5"
