Arts and Crafts Colonial Marshall Field's Sterling Silver Bowl
Simplicity in Sterling Silver Hand-Wrought Design
Marshall Field's was part of the History of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. The Bowl has beautiful hammered texture and a rim soldered to bowl to strengthen the design and the rim of the bowl. It is in very good antique condition. The patina is original and defines the hammer marks. Marshall Field's allotted an entire floor for the Silver Smithing Craft Shop. Mrs. Potter Palmer, the wife, of the owner of Marshall Field's, arranged to instruct women in Arts and Crafts Metalwork. This makes another woman in Chicago who was instrumental in the Arts and Crafts Movement promoting women to be part of the Movement.
Diameter of Bowl: 10 1/4 inches diameter by 3 3/4 inches high

Arthur Stone, Bowl
Arthur Stone was a well know Arts and Crafts Silversmith in Massachusetts. This bowl was obviously made for as a presentation bowl. Similar in design to the Paul Revere’s famous Bowl. It has never been engraved. So it must have been waiting for someone to buy it in his shop.
