Description
This exceptional antique Indian sterling silver sugar bowl has a circular form onto a spreading foot.
The body of this exceptional silver bowl is embellished with impressive chased leaf decoration, accented with a central broad interlacing band comprising six panels.
Each panel is ornamented with an impressive chased Hindu deity, each surmounting an iconic animal*, including: peacock, elephant and leopard.
The raised shoulders of the sugar bowl are encompassed with an applied moulded border accented with leaf designs.
This exceptional Indian silver bowl is fitted with an impressive C shaped cast silver handle, realistically modelled in the form of an elephant's head and trunk.
The hallmarks struck to the underside of this exceptional sugar bowl include:
Maker's mark: T. R. Tawker & Sons
Town mark: Madras
Note: * Each Hindu deity has a 'vahana' which translates as 'that which carries/pulls'. Due to the extensive array of the Hindu gods and goddesses, it can be determined that those displayed on this piece may include: Saraswati or Kartikya (the peacock), Vishwakarma or Indra (the elephant), Vayu (the horse) and Durga (the lion).
This impressive antique sugar bowl has been crafted in the same style as the teapot C7531; these pieces would sit very well together as a set.
This impressive bowl has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton Xl2 Analyzer) and verified as sterling silver (925, 925/1000).
