What does this mean?

Hello, this item is an antique silver repoussé bowl, likely produced in the late 19th to early 20th century, possibly of South or Southeast Asian origin. The repoussé technique is evident in the elaborate floral and foliated patterns worked from the reverse side to achieve a highly textured relief on the outer surface. The scalloped rim, footed base, and perforated design indicate it may have been intended for ceremonial or decorative use rather than for utilitarian function. The intricate ornamentation and hand-crafted detailing reflect a tradition of skilled silverwork common in regions such as colonial India, Burma, or Thailand, where repoussé silverware flourished under both indigenous and colonial patronage.

The dimensions are approximately 9 inches in diameter and 5 inches in height and depth, making it a medium-sized centerpiece bowl. If the stamp on the bottom includes purity marks, maker’s insignia, or regional identifiers, it would be critical for confirming the exact origin and dating. In current market terms, comparable pieces with fine repoussé work and intact silver content typically range from $250 to $600 USD.
