HEAVY CHASED VICTORIAN MELON SUGAR BOWL- LONDON 1855
THIS LARGE AND HEAVY CHASED MELON SUGAR BOWL WAS MADE IN LONDON IN 1855 BY CHARLES WALLIS AND IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, WITH NO DAMAGE, REPAIR OR RESTORATION AT ALL. THE DESIGN IS BASED ON THE POPULAR MELON PATTERN BUT IT HAS ORNATE FLORAL CHASING SET AGAINST A MATTED BACKGROUND ON EACH PANEL. THE LOBED DESIGN AND THICK GAUGE MEAN THE BOWL IS VERY ROBUST WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR ITS EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO DINGS OR BRUISES AND NO SIGNIFICANT SCRATCHES ANYWHERE. THE CAST FLORAL FEET ARE MORE ORNATE THEN USUAL AND ARE CLEAN AND EVEN SO THE BOWL STANDS FIRM. THE BOWL HAS A CARTOUCHE ON EITHER SIDE, BOTH BEAR A FINELY EXECUTED VICTORIAN INITIAL. THE BOWL HAS VERY CLEAR HALLMARKS STRUCK UNDERNEATH, THE CHASING REMAINS PROUD AND BOLD THROUGHOUT, AND THE INTERIOR RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL GILDING.
THE BOWL MEASURES 8.5"/21.5cm FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE, STANDS 5"/12.8cm TALL AND WEIGHS 513g/ 16.5 troy oz
