Hi Margaret,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
This is such an unusual and charming piece! I've not been able to find a comparable example upon which to base an attribution but have valued it favorably based on similarly impressive silver-plated table-top jardinières
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

An antique Victorian silver plated table-top jardinière
Unattributed maker, American or European, mid to late 19th Century
Of oval section with pierced raised rim tabs over a hammered body decorated with ornamental swags, the ends with stylized palmettos, all supported on four crane-form birds. With a removeable oval-section copper liner. Reportedly unmarked.
9-1/2 inches high, 13-1/2 inches diameter
CONDITION: This centerpiece bowl is lacking three ornamental bows but otherwise appears to be in good condition; value assumes no dents, repairs or losses.
PROVENANCE: Inherited
