Bowl 1886

This 1886 silver bowl, created by the Gorham Manufacturing Company, showcases an intricate floral design. The engraved roses and foliage create a delicate and elegant aesthetic, typical of the Victorian era. The bowl, now part of the The Art Institute of Chicago's collection, reflects the company's renowned craftsmanship and the enduring popularity of floral motifs in decorative arts. The piece's small size, measuring just 3.8 × 21.3 × 14.6 cm, suggests its intended use for personal or intimate settings.
