Large Vintage English Silver Mfg Corp Silverplate Shell Bowl 38 15.5”

A spectacular large vintage silverplate shell bowl by English Silver Manufacturing Corp., made in the USA.
This beautifully sculptural piece is shaped like an oversized seashell, with an ornate raised border and wonderful dimensional detail. Its generous 15½” x 13½” size makes it much more than a little bonbon or catchall dish — it has real presence as a centerpiece or serving piece.
The underside is marked English Silver Mfg Corp, 38, Made in USA, along with the company’s shield trademark.
Ways to use it:
Think of this one as a statement piece! It would be beautiful as a dining table centerpiece, on a buffet or console, or filled with seasonal greenery, fruit, shells, pinecones, ornaments, or other collected treasures. It could also be used for serving appetizers or as a dramatic decorative bowl on a bar or coffee table.
A wonderful choice for coastal, Hollywood Regency, traditional, Grandmillennial, or collected interiors.
