A very fine antique sterling silver Art Nouveau floral poppy motif bowl, c. 1880
~ 1900, manufactured by a prestigious silver company, noted for outstanding quality
and design.
This bowl features the flowing Art Nouveau center design, surrounded by the trademark
high repousse, very detailed and elaborate floral pattern.
It has never been monogrammed.
The bowl is in nice estate condition, however there are some small pin pricks and
some slight, fairly insignificant bumps to bowl bottom, as well as two more substantial
marks to back, near outside edge under a flower, (see small picture below for close
up) but these do not show to front at all.
As with all Unger wares, this is a very well made bowl, featuring the solid back,
rather than stamped, as is often seen on lesser quality bowls.
Unger Brothers hollowware, especially pieces featuring the desirable Art Nouveau
designs, are very collectable and becoming harder to find.
