Antique Large Gold Bronze COPPER Console Trophy Tusk Bowl, ADELPHI SILVER CO
Antique Large Gold Bronze COPPER Console Trophy Tusk Bowl, ADELPHI SILVER CO. LARGE ANTIQUE CONSOLE TUSK BOWL. Wonderful large antique “loving cup” style console bowl measuring a tad over 12″ wide and 8-1/2″ tall. Featuring substantial boar tusks handles mounted around the pedestal base, interior of the bowl is copper, and exterior is brassed as shown. Bearing a very faint, shallow monogram in ornate scrollwork design, underside retains the original GENUINE GOLD BRONZE metal oval disk label, and interior is stamped ADELPHI SILVER CO. Numbered B700 – company was best known for silverplate and operated 1896 to 1915. Condition is very nice reflecting the original warm finish – bowl has minor age related wear including patination and mineral deposits within the bowl interior, and a few areas of plating loss on the bottom foot edge as shown – all sturdy metal brackets and collars into which the tusks are mounted as still in place. I think this is an amazing bowl – assuming either a wedding gift, trophy or similar presentation piece dating to around the turn of last century. Large, dramatic and rare, it would be a wonderful addition to any collection or display! I’ve shown it next to a regular size dice in the last image so you can get a feel for the large size.
