Description
This beautiful solid silver bowl was produced by the silversmith Sammy (森美), who was
operational in Hong Kong between circa 1910-1940.1 Represented on each section of the bowl
are various aspects of nature. Subtle and elegant, this bowl has six sides depicting bamboo,
flowers, leaves as well as branches alighted by birds. The tips and upper portion of the bowl are
curved like petals of a flower, creating a delicately undulating effect.
Hallmarked on the base of the bowl, this fine silver artefact by Sammy is emblematic of high
quality export silver produced in Hong Kong.
