Elegant sterling silver bowl, featuring a circular hemispherical body with a smooth, polished surface and a slightly flared upper rim. The sides are fitted with two opposing openwork handles of distinctive trapezoidal geometric form, with angular lines in the Art Deco style.
The bowl is supported by a short, baluster-shaped central stem, resting on a flared circular foot with a moulded rim. The piece is distinguished by its balanced proportions, restrained surfaces and the contrast between the rounded contours of the bowl and the geometric design of the handles, reflecting the decorative taste of early 20th-century English silverwork.

Sterling silver, fully hallmarked with the marks used in Sheffield, England, in 1931–1932, together with the maker's mark of Viner's Ltd.
