Regular price
$1,123.20
Presented is a fantastic sterling silver bowl by Tuttle. This piece dates between about 1890 to no later than 1923. The bowl rests on three scrolled feet, which join to the body with an elegant shell design. The bowl is polished to a bright finish, very clean and simple. The bowl is well made, and would be great as a centerpiece or fruit bowl, or however else you want to use it.
This piece is in great condition. There are no splits, no breaks, no dents, no cracks, no monograms, no monogram removals, and no repairs.
The underside of the bowl is stamped with the maker's mark for Tuttle as well as sterling and the retail mark for J.E. Caldwell & Co. Tuttle instituted their date marking system during the presidency of Calvin Coolidge, beginning in 1923. This bowl does not have a date mark, indicating that it dates some time between the start of the company and 1923.
The bowl is about 3 1/4 inches tall and measures about 9 inches in diameter.
The bowl weighs 496 grams or 17.5 regular ounces.
