{"product_id":"silverplate-footed-bowls-with-applied-shell-border-set-of-four-mid-twentieth-century","title":"Silverplate Footed Bowls with Applied Shell Border, Set of Four, Mid-Twentieth Century","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA set of four silverplate footed bowls, each ringed with a band of applied shells in deep relief — scallops and conch worked into a continuous wreath around the body of every bowl. The kind of object that lived on a sideboard in a Connecticut shingle house, brought out for the first course or the last. The form is a Revere shape, the decoration is mid-century, and the use is open: finger bowls at a long dinner, individual sorbets between courses, nuts and olives at a cocktail hour, berries and cream on a quiet morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSold as a set of four. They belong together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOrigin: Sourced at an estate sale in Connecticut. Unmarked, as much mid-century silverplate was — sold through department stores and given as wedding silver, used for decades, then passed on. The shell border is applied work, hand-finished rather than machine-stamped, with the recesses antiqued to give the relief depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eExcellent. Silverplate bright and intact across all four. The dark patina set into the recesses behind the shells is original — applied at the time of manufacture, and exactly what should be there. No dents, no repairs. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOne of the four shows very light plate wear to the interior, visible only on close inspection and consistent with use over decades.
