The body is cast and incised with designs which are inlaid with pure silver. The body is then chemically treated to a black finish in stark contrast. This bowl is decorated with foliate and geometric bands flanking a repeated floral motif. A single snowflake-like figure is centered in the well. Minor losses only to the silver. The inside with encrustation, evidently calcification from being used with a flower pot. Scarce.
