Vintage Sterling SIlver Pedestal Chocolate Bonbon Dish with Filigree

A striking example of refined silversmithing, this vintage sterling silver pedestal dish brings timeless elegance to any table or collection. Designed to serve chocolates or bonbons, the piece features a beautifully pierced filigree gallery and a gracefully fluted bowl rising from a classical baluster stem. Expertly made, the dish reflects the artistry and sophistication of mid-century silver design. Made by Empire Silver, who began making fine sterling silver in 1946.

The lustrous finish highlights the intricate detailing along the rim and base, while the airy filigree work adds both texture and lightness. This is a larger pedestal than most, it is the tallest one they made. Ideal for entertaining or as a centerpiece, it exudes understated luxury and old-world charm. Perfect for serving sweets, petits fours, or as a decorative accent in a silver collection. {It has seen its share of special days and holidays, the sterling is gorgeous, but this is 80 years old so not new.}  Hallmarked Sterling weighted {the base is weighted to give it the most stability possible} and polished to a brilliant shine. 

• Measures 6-1/4" x 6-1/2"h.
