A very pretty and elegant sterling bowl with some of the finest engraving you would ever see.
In each of three panels there is a very fine engraving of an elaborate hanging basket with overflowing with various flowers and trailing vines. The other three panels is simple floral engraving. The whole is topped with a Persian- influenced frieze of raised decoration, all bordered with a 14 ct gold band.

Here is a wonderful sterling bowl by Gorham, dated with a B for 1869, adorned with two cast silver lion's heads. These are of very stylized forms, with Persian influences. They have swept back ears, hooded eyes and prominent moustaches. They each also have a strange collar.
It is in amazing condition for its age and delicacy. The gilding and engraving in the bowl is intact although the gilding is a bit pale with years of polishing. There are no dents, repairs or monograms.
