This is very capacious and could be used for punch. fruit or as a serving bowl on the same day. It is a very substantial and imposing piece. The scrap value is £0.40 per gram and it is unfortunate that we mention this as it has artistic and decorative merits but so much Victorian silver heads off ot the melting pot these days.
