A multi-motif line, George Shiebler's 1902 Fiorito portrays a variety of flowers interpreted in an Art Nouveau manner.
This example is a 5 3/4" long, .5 T. oz., bon bon representing a clematis.
A fully open blossom appears on the handle end, while the portraiture is repeated in the entirety of the 2" by 1 3/4", nearly round, reticulated and undulating, bowl that has a pale gold wash finish front and back sides.
Never monogrammed or inscribed, this is in flawless condition, showing neither polishing wear nor bends, nicks, or other damage.
Marks are Shiebler's "winged S" emblem, "Sterling," and the name of the retailer, Boston's "Bigelow, Kennard & Co."
