STUNNING VINTAGE CHRISTOFLE~SIGNED + FULL MAKERS MARKS

JUST THE MERE MENTION OF CHRISTOFLE...........TO THOSE IN THE KNOW........IT EVOKES VISUAL REFLECTIONS OF SHEER ELEGANCE AND INNOVATIVE MODERN DESIGN....IT ALSO RANKS AMONGST THE WORLD'S TOP QUALITY MAKERS. AMAZING QUALITY AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL FROM 1830......THE FIRM HAVING REMAINED IN FAMILY OWNERSHIP SINCE THEN. HERE WE HAVE A CHARMING VINTAGE, FOOTED AND SLIGHTLY DISHED DECORATIVE BOWL WITH AN ART DECO INSPIRED LARGE FLOWER, SIMILAR TO A BUTTERCUP (ALSO SEEN ON ART DECO CARLTONWARE ITEMS). EXCELLENT DETAIL TO THE PETALS AND GILDED CENTRE GIVES AWESOME CONTRAST TO THIS ITEM. BOWL OR LARGE DISH IS SILVER PLATED WITH FULL CHRISTOFLE MAKERS MARKS FROM THE 1930'S/40'S. DIFFICULT TO PHOTOGRAPH THE DETAIL BOTH ON TOP AND UNDERNEATH THE BOWL. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR TO PLATE ON THE TOP SURFACE, MOSTLY ON RAISED VEINS OF THE FLOWER, ALSO SOME SCRATCHES WHICH COULD BE BUFFED OUT. BRILLIANT LUSTRE SHINE. THREE STYLISH FEET FIRMLY ATTACHED, ONE IS SLIGHTLY INDENTED ON THE SURFACE, BUT HARDLY WORTH MENTIONING. FREE OF CRACKS, SPLITS OR REPAIRS. MEASURES ABOUT 25CM DIAMETER AND ABOUT 6,5CM HIGH.
