Description

A double skinned Japanese Export silver presentation bowl

The scallop edged bowl has flowering irises – the iris flower symbolises faith, courage, valour, hope and wisdom.

The iris was a very popular motif in Japanese Export silver and this classic shaped bowl is an excellent example

Note the fine detail of the flowers and the oh so lightly hammered background.  The Japanese export silver makers were master craftsmen. They were well known for this very high relief on their pieces
