Art Nouveau Silver-Plated Squirrel Nut Bowl / Dish by Knickerbocker Silver Co.

Description

This antique dish features a wonderfully detailed squirrel perched on a branch above the bowl. He's either looking for nuts or gnawing on one. The piece was made between 1904-1920 by Knickerbocker Silver Company of Port Jervis, New York. It's in excellent condition! The silver finish is beautiful and there are no dents or damage. The only thing I see is a small discoloration on the inside bottom of the bowl (Photo 4). The set belonged to my Grandmother and has been stored in a special anti-tarnish bag (included - see Photo 11).
