English Silverplate
Antique English silverplate on copper Monteith bowl featuring an impressive crowned, scalloped rim, elegant reeded bands, and beautifully engraved heraldic crests depicting a bird, dragon, and rooster.
Monteith bowls originated in England during the late 17th century and were traditionally used to chill wine glasses. The distinctive notched rim allowed stemmed glasses to be suspended upside down, with their bowls resting in ice water to keep them chilled. These impressive vessels became symbols of elegant entertaining and fine English silver craftsmanship. Measures 11 1/4" x 8 1/2".
Silverplate on copper, with no hallmarks. Good vintage condition. Features engraved heraldic decoration and an inscription on the underside, as shown.
