    Description

    HERE WE HAVE A VERY UNUSUAL OLD SILVERPLATED URN SHAPED BOWL ORIGINALLY MADE TO HOLD NUTS ON A SIDE TABLE OR BUFFET. THE PIECE STANDS 6" TALL NOT INCLUDING THE SQUIRREL, WITH A 4.5" BASE. THERE IS ONE TINY DING BUT NO SERIOUS DENTS - WITH A FEW SMALL EXPECTED SCRATCHES. THIS BOWL PROBABLY WAS MADE TO HOLD ROASTED CHESTNUTS AS THEY ARE DEPICTED IN THE DESIGN OF THE RIM, NEXT TO THE SQUIRREL ITSELF. MAKES A FABULOUS CENTERPIECE FOR THE HOLIDAY TABLE.
